Tutorial: How To Do Skinny Individual Two Stranded Twists on Relaxed 4b Hair w/Newgrowth

Hey all! As you all may already know, the way your twists turn out depends on your type of hair texture. I performed two stranded twists on relaxed hair, so compare that with my previous video to see the difference. The model has about 1.5" worth of natural newgrowth, which will make the twists appear thicker towards the scalp and thinner (relaxed hair) towards the ends. She was using the twist style to stretch out her relaxers... she only relaxes her hair 3-4 times a year which is why she is able to maintain much of her length. Since the actual twists were performed (June 2009) her hair has not only grown but it has gained some fullness too due to the stretched relaxers (hence, preventing over-relaxed thin hair).

Twists are a great protective style for everybody, no matter what type of hair you have. They keep your hands and your styling tools out of your hair and allow your hair to do what it does best--grow!

I love the twists! I have been thinking about doing this with my hair for quite some time, but I am wondering if it can be done with my hair because I have one small section of hair that was broken out due to a relaxer years ago and it has just started growing back. My question is: will this show in my twists? Or can I blend it with the longer strands where it will not show through? I would appreciate any helpful comments! Thanks!

@TheSweetSexySassyOne Thanks so much :-) It depends on where your broken sections of hair lays on your head... if it's somewhere near the hairline, for example, then maybe you can just flat twist all the hair at the hairline to a certain point, then twist the remainder. Or, you can use extension afro-kinky hair on those parts or even setting your twists on curl rods for curly twists. Ultimately, everything is trial and error. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Hope this helps :-)

@cantsingalick Thanks so much! I'd love to see the result of your twists :-)

can this break hair if their is 2much new growth or actually wat's ta limit 2 how much new growth and can this be use 2 go natural?

[coilyhair]

@girlz10nextdore Not at all, as long as you continue to moisturize your hair daily or every other day and take proper care of it generally. I personally can even wash my hair with twists in them - I try to with conditioner only and no shampoo so as not to tangle or dry out the twists. This is a great transitional style if you want to go natural because it's one of the few styles that can be worn on relaxed hair with natural newgrowth.

@Writerchic1 sweety parts of your comment is true but tell me, black wowmen kids teens our hair shrinks and sometimes we want our hair to be straight for certain occasians such as a party or a wedding or just to look pretty and beautiful but see what a relaxer does is when wowmen and young girls sweat or your int he rain is stays straight 2 its eaisier to manage and three its easy to wash and you can grease it down the way you want to and the hair falls down with the relaxer.your hair cn b short
