44 ★ Two-Strand Twists on Thin Natural Hair - FAIL

In this video, I share my two-strand twists failure and a lesson that I have learned about my natural hair.

See my second attempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqAM4EqQa0Y

See a great blog article on natural hair and extensions:
"Natural Hair Top Tip: Abandon Extensions" by The Natural Haven
http://thenaturalhaven.blogspot.com/2010/08/natural-hair-top-tip-abandon-exte...

This article always stays in the back of my mind and in 2012, I plan to wear out my natural hair more than I do.

I share my first trim of 2012:

Next time you do two strand twists DO NOT PART YOUR HAIR, grab sections by feel and twist, you will get better results. Love your vids:)

I have thin hair also and I just recently began the journey. Although my hair was natural under the wigs, I was not taking care of it.. I see your frustrations and you are not alone :-) great video!! Keep us updated- good information. Thank you.

Hi i am glad I found your channel! I have fine hair but mines shorter than yours and it's a lot of trials and tribulations. Blackhairchronicles did a good twist video and she has fine hair. You should check her out. I am doing a growth challenge on my channel feel free to join :)

I can only hope it will get better! I did a trim this month and I want to attempt the two-strand twist again, but I have a feeling you are right: this style is not in my cards!

i have thin hair too honey and two strand twist and braid outs are just not in our cards.Ive been natural 2 years and my 3c hair can barely hold a braid let alone a 2 strand twist.but I feel you should do a protective challenge (braided under are headwraps r mine)for at least 3 months to give your hair a well needed break.no manipulating except moisturize and wash daythats what i do and my hair flourished. also our hair is thin so yo have handle with EXTREME care. Dont worry it will get better

LOL! The bad thing about walking around looking crazy was that I thought I was somewhat cute! Pictures have a way of humbling us!

I agree - I like my hair, but I don't like that it is thin. :-(
