Hey Guys, If one day you "happen" to try out one of these hairstyles and there "happens" to be a camera lying around, feel free to take a picture of the style & share it on my Facebook page: facebook.com/naturallymichy. I'm always excited & curious to know how the styles turned out on you! :) I would love to see it!
Its Wash Day so I will be doing this style for the week. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. You make the natural journey a lot easier for the mid-long length naturalistas.
Gurl I'm mad I'm just now finding you! Where are you now?, I need to see more of the awesome, inspiring creations. Please come back and continue to inspire us!
I still can't decide which one of your protective styles I'm going to try they're all so beautiful... You are really gifted. Thank you so much for sharing and may God continue to bless you. Keep them coming.
Love this hair style!!! Had my hair like this for when I went to see my sister. She loved my mom loved, even my two nieces loved. Oh and my boyfriend loved it too! Thanks for the style! Peace love and happiness :)
I can't wait to try this! I see 3 hair styles here: 1) Flat twists showing on your right with 2-strand twists falling to your left 2) 2-strand twists from the top flipped over covering the flat twists 3) The updo
Hi Millicent I am new to your channel and I really enjoyed all of your ABC protective styles! They made me fall back in love with my natural hair and trying new styles again! I have already tried C: Carmen on yesterday and I got a few comments on it but now I am already trying a new style today! Thank u so much! I am looking foward to watching more hair vlogs from you soon! :)
Sheba Key That's so awesome to hear! I'm also so glad that you were able to fall back in love with your hair again, love. I'll do whatever I can to help ignite that fire :)
I just watched all of your videos and I love your channel ! Im officially a new subbie :) I'm actually on a 6 month protective style challenge and I usually just do box braids the whole time but now you've motivated me to get back into protective styling my actually hair. How do you get your hair so stretched before styling though ?! I usually wash mine and let it dry in medium sized 2 strand twist the night before styling but my hair is never as stretched as yours is. What's your secret ?!?
NotYourAverageCurl Oh Awesome, Thank you! I actually do something similar to what you do (place them into medium-large 2 strand twists after washing) but sometimes I'll allow my hair to dry a little bit first (damp not wet), finger detangle if necessary before placing them into twists. I also found out that sometimes braiding instead of 2 strand twisting will allow my hair to stretch even longer. Hopefully this helps :)
Millicent Swift Thank you ! That makes sense I'll have to try that next time. When you opt for the braids over the twists does your hair take more time to dry ?
So this is awesome. I was looking for some stylish protective hairstyles and you look like your the queen of them. I! Planning on trying this Sunday for the week. Question though, about how many twists are there besides the flat twisted ones and about how much hair did you grab for each twist?
bbybear712 A LOT! Lol... I usually estimate how much hair to use for each twist depending on the thickness of each flat twist since I did those first. BUT, I believe in this case I made the twists slightly larger than the flat twists (a pinch size larger) because I knew the hairstyle would be pinned up and the accuracy of each twist wouldn't matter.
M Money Thank you! It varies with each style, but I believe that I either kept this hairstyle in for a week or two ONLY because I get bored with wearing the same style for too long. This style could had lasted 2-3 weeks, but it's rare that I wear any style for that long.
I love your protective styles and am trying to adopt them into my regimen for the rest of the winter. How long do you keep your styles in? Right now I wash and condition every week, but I would think you might go a little longer with all the work involved.
Emma Thomas Thank you! I typically like to change up my hairstyles weekly, but that's just me. So I may not always keep the same hairstyle in longer than 3 or more days even if the hairstyle itself could last me a full week to 2 weeks. Again, that's just me and I don't mind taking 3+ hours on a hairstyle just to take it out the following day. I know it may sound a little crazy, but I've always done it that way since I'm my own hairstylist :). Of course I don't recommend anyone else doing that especially if you're looking to retain length, so most of the styles which include flat twists/ smaller 2 strand twist can last you up to 2-3 weeks, depending on your daily regimen.
It was from an old stretched twistout, so no heat. Lol there were knots in there, but because the video speed is a little fast, you can't tell when the comb gets stuck as I'm parting the hair. I also finger detangle the hair in smaller sections at a time as I'm applying the product. The smaller the sections, the easier it is to get through. Hopefully this helps :)
tmcdgreen I use both depending on whats sitting next to me. Bobby pins are good to use to firmly keep the hair down in place. Hair pins are good when you need to lay a cluster of hair/twists together in a way that conceals the pin and keeps the hair feeling light (if that makes any sense).
alkebuluan merriweather Thanks. Probably in for about a week. I honestly can't remember, but usually because I change up my hair so often, it was probably no more than a week although it could had lasted longer.

+Jessica Reed Coolbeans :)
i love your styles trying to find ways to protect my hair for the rest of the winter especially since we keep getting snow in the nc area.
Thanks,this is so gorgeous and its a protective style.

Millicent Swift Thank you ! That makes sense I'll have to try that next time. When you opt for the braids over the twists does your hair take more time to dry ?
Absolutely. It usually takes a day to dry if I braid while wet, but half the time if damped.
Ok thanks for the heads up ! Ive only done a braid out once in the last 3.5 years so I had no idea loll. That really helped :)

Question: how long do you keep your twists in? FACT: BEAUTIFUL style & GREAT tutorial

This is too cute! I'm trying it tomorrow.
You know i diggs this one CARMEN...

OMG you make it look so easy!
Thanks! It gets easier with practice, but really this style is a lot easier to do than it looks.
Just found this on Pinterest. This is so cute. I also like how you edited this. Can't wait to try. Thanks!
Aww thank you so much! You're actually one of the few ladies that I watched right after my Big Chop. I love your flat twist videos :)
Millicent Swift Really? Thank you so much!
It was from an old stretched twistout, so no heat. Lol there were knots in there, but because the video speed is a little fast, you can't tell when the comb gets stuck as I'm parting the hair. I also finger detangle the hair in smaller sections at a time as I'm applying the product. The smaller the sections, the easier it is to get through. Hopefully this helps :)
No problem :)
Is there other ways you style it if so can u make a video please?
Sure Naturally Angie
Do you use bobby pins or hair pins?
tmcdgreen I use both depending on whats sitting next to me. Bobby pins are good to use to firmly keep the hair down in place. Hair pins are good when you need to lay a cluster of hair/twists together in a way that conceals the pin and keeps the hair feeling light (if that makes any sense).
I'm going try this it's really cute. How long did you keep this hairstyle in?
alkebuluan merriweather Thanks. Probably in for about a week. I honestly can't remember, but usually because I change up my hair so often, it was probably no more than a week although it could had lasted longer.
