  • @Moneystayswithme

    Thank you so much! I watched your video a week ago, and the way you displayed that initial catch of the braid hair with the real hair was the game changer for me. So I did the style today with the same hair in 2T1B/27. It took me about 7-8 hour, but it's my first time and I was also prepping the braiding hair too. I separated each loc in 2 because I did it bigger to save on time and it came out beautiful and fluffy. The Shine n Jam also helped a lot and I moused as I was braiding down. I used 1 pack and a little out of the other pack. When I think about the sleep I lost worrying if I could really do it. I don't know when my braid stylist is going to see me again. Thank you so much 💛

    Very nice job one thing with spring twist though is you don't roll like with Senegalese...you will get a little different look you just twist...but I love twisted up might use it next just did a micro spring twist with Kadi and came out looking almost like bomb twist. The good thing is with out the rolling it makes it even easier for people to get it. Yours resemble a nubian twist which I'm also thinking about...Idk lol
