      That is awesome 24nautolover, congratulations! I never even thought of doing this style until I saw Whitney's micro twists tutorials...it took me a few months to gather up the courage to try them though but once I did I wasn't disappointed AT ALL! : )

    Since I've been natural I have struggled with protective styling because my hair is short and I just don't think the styles look good on me, but I tried mini twists for the first time and though it took me nine hours I have to say I absolutely love them! It's a lengthy process, but the results are always beautiful, and I'm left with a style that I can wear for at least a month, so to me it's worth it. This is definitely a go-to style for me!

    Hi Whitney I just want to say thanks.. I did my mini two strand twist for the first time three weeks ago. It turned out very nice and its still holding up today. I find your videos very helpful and very inspirational since im a newly natural.. Your videos has really help me through my 1year natural hair journey.. I graduated from hair school in 2003. But I've learned more about natural hair on RUclips then in hair school.. Keep inspiring other.. Thanks again..

  • @ALLforLOVE13
    @ALLforLOVE13 12 лет назад +2

    I braided my hair into single braids without extentions to grow my hair. I would rebraid them whenever they got loose at the roots. You can do a lot of styles with braids. I recommend them to whoever wants to grow out their hair.

    I had to re-watch and push that "thumbs up" when I first watched this in fall 2012(still super late to the viewing!) I was not subscribed, I didn't even know about RUclips accounts, so now that I'm well acquainted with RUclips commenting and I'm gearing up for my annual fall/winter "micro-mini twists" I had to come revisit this video, remind myself why I like this style so much AND why I'm willing to put in the 8+ hours it takes to have em! It's so strange seeing you with this length of hair, it seems like you've been in the "I've Got Mega Long Hair Club" since forALWAYS! I've used the opposite side twist laying technique and the wrapping for my 2 strand twist styles, so thank you! Whelp, great tutorial Whitney and Fabulous shiny twists!

  • @theycallmekurn

    I am in the mini twist phase of growing my hair longer. It is currently at my collarbone, unstretched. My hair type is 3 a/b and is a bit of a pain as twists and plaits tend to slide out more or less as I finish them, because my hair is really soft, like baby hair. My hair is also very fine but I have lots of it so it is a struggle to maintain, much less grow although it does grow long. But it is pure struggle! Thanks for these tutorials Whitney! I am going to give my hair a trim. It isn't even and I was doing the splitting thing without understanding the implications so thanks for explaining that and about the need for neat partings too!

  • @JGT318
    @JGT318 13 лет назад +2

    Great technique! I really wish I could do this with my hair but my 4z coils won't have it. Tiny twists always matt up after I wash them no matter how much I moisturize and end up looking like frizzy dreadlocks. Twisting my hair seems to make my hair cuticles lock together, but strangely that doesn't happen with plaits. Perhaps I'll try this wrapping with my next set of mini plaits. Thanks!

  • @omgsockss
    @omgsockss 11 лет назад +2

    I've always thought that I have thick hair... until I tried these mini twists. I've done medium sized twists on my hair a million times but this weekend was my first time trying twists this size. I did the twists exactly how you instructed and the twists themselves came out great and will last but they look HORRIBLE on my head bc there are so few of them. I have to style them definitely cannot wear them down or out.

    This is a really cool idea, never thought of wrapping my hair. I usually rope twist my hair and keep it for a month but I got fed up with the shrinkage from week 3-4 so I switch to plaiting my hair which last a bit longer. Next time though I'll twist it and wrap it :)

    will have to try the mini twists,thanks for the info, this natural thing is relatively new have had for a few years and had one stylist in town that has moved and she was limited in what she was able to do,once 1 1/2 ago she talked me into getting a relaxer to "stretch" my hair since I have very thick,6 mths to a yr still had 4 in of straight hair, I was crushed cause before that length was decent, had to do the big crop, so I've turned to the internet for assist, thx so much.

  • @lawrencejoseph2518
    @lawrencejoseph2518 11 лет назад

    Actually, she can get healthy regrowth first of all she didn't add products to cause build up on her scalp, and while the hair is in the twists, the already "done" hair will minimize the pull on the hair. Your hair is left alone so it has the time to grow. The twists are really amazing :)

  • @msdarkchild1971

Another youtuber said that she washed her mini twists, and found that they started to dred up at the roots (Scary)! I've had mini twists but not for a month, I wanted to know if washing your hair while having mini twists for that long will make your roots start to lock?

It is not yellow/golden or milk white. Milk white shea butter is actually refined. Also, when people are selling 'yellow or golden shea butter, it is either the kpangnan butter or it is dyed.

    You look like you're in really good shape. I'm curious if you work out on a regular basis. I do, and I would like to keep twists in for a month at a time but I find it difficult to not wash my hair because I sweat so much during my work outs. I love your nightly routine and I think it would really work for me, I was just hoping your could offer any advice for curlies who work out.
    P.S. How often do you wash your hair?

  • @omeganme
    @omeganme 10 лет назад

    i've mini twisted my hair for the first time last month, but i could only maintain it for a week :(
    I was wondering, how do you maintain the style, not just at night? my hair grows really fast, and by the end of the week, the twists were frizzy and and i had so much new growth at the root i didn't know what to do with it so i ended up just taking them out. my second question would have to be, how do you handle new growth while wearing this style?
