Three Strand Twist Tutorial

but isn't this the same as braiding?

Wow, this technique is amazing! I can't wait until my hair is long enough to try it

Thanks

It's not so much a matter of coarse vs fine. My hair is coarse, but the curl is about a 2c-3b...very loose. I just tried these for the first time (LOVE them) and I used got2b Spiking glue to hold it. I usually wear 2-strand twists. The 3-strand twists hold their shape a lot better. Today is Tuesday, I did my hair Saturday. Usually, by now I would start to see frizzies springing out here and there, but not this time. Thanks brebre83!!

am i the only one who has just heard of this??...i have been natural for the last 5 yrs! have always done 2 strand twists myself, i'm so anxious to try this now!! thx for the vid! but it already takes me 4 hrs to do 2 strands so- i have alot of hair..... hopefully i can move faster!

I usually do 2-strand twists. when I saw the title "3-strand", I had to see. I'm gonna try this. Looks like you do it the same way as a 2-strand, exept with an extra section. It seems like as long as you just take ALL sections the same direction, clockwise (or counterclockwise), you're fine! Shalom!

Wow, two months and no reply, huh? Don't use mineral oil or petralatum based products on your hair. Bad stuff. Shea butter, coconut oil - natural oils are much better to use on freshly washed (damp) hair. My hair is a loose 3b and won't hold together without a gel. I love the Jamaican Mango & Lime, but I need something with a stronger hold. Lately, I've added got2b spiking glue over the mango & lime twist & loc gel. Godspeed!

lol thanks for the reply. But I just cut my hair. No more afro for me. Too much work. Good luck with your hair though !!!!

Same as platting?

Well I'll be...thanks for the tutorial...got it 1st try!
