How to Do Mini-Twists on Natural Hair (Without Driving Yourself Crazy!)

In this video, I show you how to put your natural hair in mini-twists using what I like to call "the braidout method". Much thanks to Naptural85 for exposing me to mini twists and creating such thorough videos to explain how to do them.

Does this work on Caucasian hair?

[ThinkandGrowChick]

@MsYoungmoney2 I think one's ethnicity is not as important as is the texture of one's hair. If a caucasian person has very tightly curled, coarser hair then this style might be something worth trying. The more loosely-curled and finer one's hair is, however, then the more the twists are likely to unravel or "slip out". This principle hold regardless of one's heritage. HTH!

this is exactly how i did my hair.....b4 watching this video....GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE

[ThinkandGrowChick]

@auditab I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of this then. I randomly started doing this one day when twisting my hair in big loose sections got to be too daunting. Yes great minds think alike!

[ThinkandGrowChick]

@potterylady1 Put on some great music, grab some tea and make an experience out of it. The time will pass more quickly :-)
