    Because my hair is fine, my twists looked scalpy and flat....your parting technique is just what I needed...my twists are now full and on point..thx sis...

    I love your parting technique! I think this will be a fabulous process for thinner natural hair to make it appear more full. I can't wait to give this a try on me & my daughter's when we finish with the yarn twist/braids. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    LOL 6:06 that feeling you get when you've been waiting HOURS for your hair to be done, and you look in the mirror and realize there's just one more row to go.

    Really cleverly, patiently and professionally done. It must feel totally lovely sitting down having hair done by you cos you just know the result will be stunning! Hope your well :)

    So I tried this on a client of mine with fine hair and it does work so much better to fill out the hair, and I just finish my set of minitwists and it was not as difficult to keep up with as I thought it would be. I really like using this method. Thanks!!

    Best video I have ever seen on 2strand twist. My hair coils up in all directions after twisting. laying them flat and having them move has always been a mystery to me. cant wait to give this a try.

    somehow found this a decade later and im so glad that I did. I have 4c hair and have been trying to figure out how to make my twists look fuller since I was 14 & just began braiding my own hair. 2 years later I finally found a video that is perfect for making my thin hair not look so separated when I braid it. thank you

    I'm a believer that this low manipulation styling avoids breakage and lets you keep your growth--which will show length in as minimum as 3 months! I love to do two strand twists and leave them in for 2 months. I see lots of growth.

You are an inspiration.....I will be posting a video response on My 1st Mini Twist, just so that you can see how they turned out....Thanks again!!!!

    @RegalRoyale 11 лет назад

    Thanks so much for this video. This is the best video I've seen on the best method of doing mini twists. I have some in now and it looks rather scalpy and skinny, Of course I did it on blow dried hair (comb attachment) and I didn't "stack" the partings. These are some good tips. I will incorporate them the next time I try.

  • @sunflowerm6967
    @sunflowerm6967 12 лет назад

    Amazing. I would love to try that on my hair, its almost the lenght of her's. I'm going to check out the blog. I just don't want to think about how long its going to take. God bless your hands girl, keep the teaching going. Peace Angeli

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    I make the conditioner mix so much for Dimple's hair that I just throw things in a bottle LOL. You want it milkshake consistency--the kind that moves a little ;o) If you put 1ounce of conditioner, put about 1/2 ounce water and 2 tablespoons of oil. That soulds about right. That's the mix I sent her with to moisturize her ends. Thanks for the message beautiful.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    I mixed up my favorite conditioner/oil/water mix for her. She's going to spray her ends as needed. She's keeping them in for 2 weeks, so she should be fine. If she has to wash, she's only going to co-wash (no shampoo). and then oil her scalp. I'm following this regimen and my hair is very soft, moisturized and it doesn't tangle.

    @luvpepperhead 12 лет назад

    Loved this in-depth look at the stacking technique. I just did my first set and tried to offset the direction but it ended up sort of scalpy :/ Heading to the blog for more info and I may just re-do a few areas. Much love, Tia! You and Angel look so beautiful!

    I am so glad that I found this video. I am currently about to two strand twist my daughter hair and was figuring out ways to make her hair look fuller without seeing parts. I'm just wondering would the stack method work on medium size twist as well. Thank you so much for doing this vid even though I'm a little late seeing it lol

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    Thanks for the Love Mrslewellen! I appreciate the feedback. I try techniques on about 4 different heads of hair, just to see if the results are consistent b4 I even put it to video. Nice to know there's a 5th (or even more thanks to the comments on here) head of hair that this works for.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

  • @19Hollisterchick90
    @19Hollisterchick90 11 лет назад

    You have inspired me to try twist again. I wore it last year, but my hair was shorter and I never stretched it. Many people said I looked like a lesbian smh, so I've been weaved up ever since. My hair is her length now, so I'm going to give them another go.

  • @007newnew

    Thanks Doll :o) I gave her some Eden Body Works Tea Tree Conditioner in a bottle mixed with some water and oil. Had her spritz that as needed. Her hair took me about 4 hours (with lunch mixed in there somewhere LOL). Thanks for the message!

    thAnks for this.see i have trouble parting in a stacked way..im used to the spacey way which i dont like. i have to see the blog cuz i wanna get this down packed. i think its the only thing stopping me from having what i wd call perfect twists or braids. both u girls hair look awesome!!

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    I used human hair extensions, and I kept them in for about 2 months (moisturizing as needed or daily). They come out really easy. Get whoever puts them in for you to show you how to take them down.

    Should i use any product on the hair while twisting it ?
    And yes natural hair is beautiful regardless of what Hollywood says.😃😃😃💜💙💛❤

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    I've been urging my friend to do these twists a long time ago (even at 4'' of hair). I think twists are beautiful on short length hair! And if I had the time, I would throw some perm rod rollers on her head for a nice "Hally Berry" cropped style once these got old. I think you should try these techniques. You can do it.

  • @chrissychanell2573
    @chrissychanell2573 11 лет назад

    This video was so helpful, I'm going to be doing my own twist for the first time! This is gonna make it easier...

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    I use mirrors to part, but within that parted section I just pull with my fingers. You twist in the direction you want your twist to fall. Most of the time, it will simply be twisting downward. Only when you get to the hairlin you might do some upwards and over twisted direction just so you have the option to flip your hair over to another side. But if that gets to be too much, you can just keep twisting downward. You can do it. Most important: part at a diagonal.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад +1

    I do have to put my head at a certain angle when I'm doing my own hair--just to get the back proper. It's hard yeah, but I find as my hair gets longer, it takes more time but it gets much easier to position the twists proper.

    @danyellegilliam8431 10 лет назад

    I truly love your clients hair. I adore your hair as well. Please tell me what type of twists you have. Are they also two-strand twists? What type of add-in hair do you recommend for shorter length natural hair? Thank you for your videos.

  • @godsflame2
    @godsflame2 12 лет назад

    I cant' wait to try this techinque. It does create great fullness. I want to know how do you keep up with each section of angles when doing your own hair in the back. Doing them straight across helps me keep up with where I am! lol

  • @AfreensHair
    @AfreensHair 11 лет назад

    this is the best twist tutorial. i hope i have the patience to do this on my own hair. Do you twist each strand/section individually before twisting (rope twist) the strands together?

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    Thanks Love :o) She's my best friend/sister --and you're right she's extremely spunky and crazy fun LOL! She's given me "full reign" on her natural hair, so I'll be posting more videos with her (she's got some twists with extensions in now).

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    Yep, your hair can definitely do nice twists. I've been doing twists from the beginning of my all natural length (about 5''). I even did a nice set during transition!

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  11 лет назад

    I used Eden Body Work Tea Tree Hair milk to twist, but that's not what held her twists. Even though I blow dried, I didn't use the heat to get it straight. I kept most of her texture, and used the heat to swell the hair so that it would stay on it's own. This process doesn't work on every texture hair. Looser textured hair may not stay twisted. I like twists better only because the take-down is easier and my ends wrap up to a secure spiral vs. braids.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    Thanks for the message Beautiful! I love to use Eden Body products to twist. I stay away from shea butter and use mostly oils. If you don't have that product in Italy (it's fairly new here)--just use a product with your favorite ingredients. I like to keep it all natural if possible. I use "As I Am co-wash product to co-wash my twists (I don't use shampoo the whole time I have my twists in--avoids knotting). Thanks for the love Italy.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  11 лет назад

    Thanks Love :o) The actual twists are pretty simple to figure out (just practice will make perfect lol!) So I didn't focus at all on the twisting process per se, mainly how to create the perfect texture, properly direct the parting for the hair to lay stacked and show as "full", and how to lay down the twists in the direction you want them to go. This may help to avoid the snakey, scalpy, thin twists that show out as problematic especially on shorter length hair.

  • @007newnew
    @007newnew  12 лет назад

    Hey! I was using the Eden body works products at the time of this video. I will definitely use that product line again to twist. Lots of good ingredients in that line (many oils). I don't know how much salons are charging for this, but it seems to be a lot. I looked online to price up getting the sides of my head cornrowed small--and the price was about $80.00!!! So I guess it depends. But a full head of twists can be pricey. Google your location 2 c local hair braider

Also, this video really helped learn how to twist my hair probably. Now, what do you use to moisturize the hair while twisting. Okay, waiting for your response. Thanks Mintie Jo from Italy

  • @Mssassysabrina
    @Mssassysabrina 12 лет назад

    You are awesome. What did you use to keep her hair moisturized while twisting and how long did it take you? I would have never thought to section the hair diagonally for stacking. Great job.
