1 ★ Yarn Twists: Twisting Yarn Into Hair

On February 9, 2010, I twisted yarn into my hair. This is the third time I have used yarn, and I love it!

See my other yarn twists videos: Go to http://www.youtube.com/nappynfree and select the yarn twists playlist.

MORE INFORMATION:

* I used two strands of yarn in the front and three strands in the back.

* Vaseline Update: I took some twists out after two weeks, and I didn't notice a real difference in my hair. It still felt like it always does after I take down the twists - soft. (For more information, see "I Propose a Vaseline-Sealing Challenge:"
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=315551.)

* I will keep the yarn in my hair for 4-5 weeks.

* I oil my scalp 1-2 times a week.

* Brown lace earrings worn in one of the style pictures were purchased from

Yay! I am glad this video helped!

This is very pretty and it looks more natural than twisting with synthetic hair. Great tutorial and easy to follow along. I'm going to try this sometime soon.

Hi there! I wash and condition with an ayurvedic treatment/conditioner. Right before twisting, I apply conditioner (as a leave-in) and a hair butter or grease. After I finish twisting my hair, I spray (and spray) with either an aloe vera juice spritz or my care free curl gold hair and scalp spray. I hope this helped! :-)

moisture-wise*

How do you prep your hair before long-term styles? (like, moisturize-wise) I want to put some yarn twists in this weekend. I'm thinking: deep condition, use leave-in conditioner, and maybe some oil...but I haven't found anything perfect yet. I'd like to hear your response because you've done this style enough times to know (read: I think you're an expert :o} ) Thanks!
