Jess, I have my mini twists in for 6 days now and they're still perfect.
I don't do too many styles to it. I let it be without a pony tail. And in day five I wet it fully in the shower and they bounced back to life. I then re moisturise it and let it air dry. The secret is to not over manipulate it.
How do you shape them in the mornings after sleeping
This is sooo trueeee
@@ifunanyaamanda6316 I mostly use my hands through them or on a day I'm feeling them I put it up in any style of my choice
I really appreciate your honesty on the longevity of your twists. I feel like so many people pretend they last longer than they do 😅
The little screams at the beginning....GURL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
They had me dying 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'll be feeling fly in my mini twists on the first day but 5 days later, they'll be looking like Grinch fingers. My hair be doing me dirty most times. 😒
Nobody does us dirtier than our own hair 😂
When I say I laughed so hard I almost pee’d 😂😂😂😂😂
That wild growth is truth.... it’s a reason they keep it behind counter at beauty supply store lol
Okay!? Got me sounding greedy like “yes can I have 4 of those please... yes 4, thank you” 😂
@@OnlyOneJess I've noticed some sort of controversy surrounding the ingredients of the wild growth hair oil as it seems to have 2 different formulas. Which one did you use?
@@__d3sire there are 2 types,the white one is for hair growth and the yellow is for moisturizing so depending on what you are going for but its great to have these two around
Ikr 😆
This must be why CVS locks up Got2B glue spray now 💀
The ONLY reason I’m not taking these out is because they took sooooo long 😂😫🥴
*felt that
PERIODDDDDD 😂 ima make these last an extra week idc idc idc lol
Next time braid the roots about an inch and twist the rest of the way down. It's alot of work but it lasts longer 😅
and always stretch them before bed so they wont shrink. I used to do the band method
Yes "Plat"aka braid thema little in the beginning... that's what I was thinking
I realized that the smaller you do them, the longer they last. I usually keep mines in for 4-5 weeks
If I do mine any smaller these gon be sister Locs 😭😂
The sounds effects are sending me off a cliff 🤣🤣 the screamiinngg lmaooo anytime I've done them.. it's at that one week mark it's either a bun or pinned style because it just looks rough SO fast 🤦🏾♀️
😂😂😂😂 Yea I had to throw them hairstyles in on day 3 I was like what the hale going on here! 😂
i have mini twists in now and when they start to look a little old after week one, i just wet my hair and add a veryyy small amount of leave in to my hair in sections. then when i feel like it looks juicy and moisturized again, i'll spray some mousse on top and then wrap my head with a scarf to lay any fly aways down. that works like a charm for me and doesn't require any re-twisting!
That's so true,water is so so good for our twists! I bounced back so beautifully
Same, I use a lot of mousse though and it'll make my hair a lot less stiff
You’re a life saver! My hair was looking limpy on day 7 and your suggestion of water, leave in and mousse trick worked!! Thank you!! 🥰💯💯💯🙌🏽
Your twists made me grab a bottle of water lol my throat felt dry!
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yooo 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
damn 😂😂😂💀💀
I am deadddd 😂😂😂
Yup, my mini twist looks like this at the end of each week. After working out every day, I have to remove, wash, conditioner and re-do
Whew that’s so much work but at least during the week you don’t have to be bothered with it so that works out pretty well
You certainly have a lot of patience.
It’s the background scream for me 😂😂
Lmaooo just the title has me cracking up
Me too 😂😂😂
These twists played me 😂
OnlyOneJess it seems so lol but jess do you oil your scalp every day? And use your scalp massager when you do. Like what’s your schedule with that?
Her twists said “aight imma fuh witchu👋🏾” lmao
Much love jessss💕
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I found that when doing mini twist the easiest way to do them is to rope twist the hair. Basically twist the strands the opposite way them twist them together. I've been doing it this way for a month now. I can definitely say detangling the twist after take down is much easier. I can wet my hair with the twist in and it doesn't get fuzzy.
This is so true. Rope twists last so much longer. My sister is a super lazy natural. The last time I put twists in her hair she had them in for about a month or more. She didn't expect to her them that long, but the rope twists just lasted. Now I've taught her. Lol
I have mini twists too. I sleep with a satin scarf while my twist are flat on my head and tie it tight. Then out a bonnet on top. Works like a charm and twists last weeks. The key is to sleep with your twists flat in your head and not in an updo. Then you can put it back up the next day.
I just did my mini twists too!! When sleeping flat have your twists smushed at all?
shaq b you have to stretch them around your head with bobby pins. kind of like wrapping them but in the direction of how you want them to lay. in the morning when you take them down, they’ll be neat, less frizzy, and you’ll have a little extra hang time.
I’m here for all the suggestions! Thanks :)
This is me EVERY SINGLE TIME I do mini twists. I dunno how anyone keeps them in for a month. That's crazy to me
Girl. Mini twists last 4 days max in my hair before they unravel even with a scarf. I’m convinced nobody wants to tell the truth about it like you mentioned lol.
I’m saying like I can’t be the only one 😂
I definitely think it varies with hair texture. My twists last well over a month but my hair is coarse/nappy whatever you want to call it. I literally think with water and grease or Vaseline I’d be good. I can sleep without a bonnet or scarf at night...I’m still good. They won’t come undone and it’s probably because of my texture-I’m guessing. My hair is always in two strand twists or mini twists....I don’t wear twist outs. It’s the only style I know how to do.
@@JessicaSmith-ie7cm yess type 4 coarse hair be looking so good in braids and twists last longer, even with box braids after 3 weeks my hair is fuzzy , the ends are out
so i dont know how you feel about using beeswax. ECO has a great one with black castor oil and flaxseed oil, i use it on my daughter and i hair when i do twist and it helps them stay twisted for weeks. my daughter be wilding with her hair doing flips and rolling in the DIRT and they stay twisted. i make sure to put it only on her hair and only oil her scalp every two weeks we only use sulfate shampoo so i dont have to worry about build up and any problems. just a suggestion. Love ya! ;)
jdc1lovelylady thank you I haven’t used beeswax since I was relaxed some years ago. I forgot how well it works. I will try it. It will definitely hold the strands together for a while and keep the twist fresh looking.
Hmmm... I’m not opposed to it, it’s better than spending 5 hours just for my twists to unravel in a week lol love you too!
@@OnlyOneJess true lol
Omg that is genius! I’ve never used gel on the length of my hair, just on the ends and edges so idk how my hair would respond. Im def gonna give it a try though, thanks!
OnlyOneJess make sure that you use a good shampoo and not conditioner to remove that wax. Heavily moisturize your hair before putting the wax on because it’s going to lock it in. 😊
Mine usually last 2 weeks. When they start to mess up, I just redo some of the ones in the front lol.
Edge control on my mini twists CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can go for weeks now without touching them!
Do you use it in the whole strand or just the roots?
@@Gabriellaella23 Start an inch away from the root and extra on the ends😊
It’s something about that oil... it makes my scalp stink and itchy after about 2 days of putting it in.. idk
Gurl same!!!
Miesha_Marie You might be using too much. It’s a pretty heavy oil so I also notice itchiness but only when I put too much. Be more light handed and it shouldn’t itch anymore 🙂✨ If the problem continues, you might just be one of those people’s who’s scalps just don’t like oil sitting on top of it 🤷🏽♀️
Itch means your hair is growing
Girl! I just started going mini twists aswell and my twists look like trash after 1 week too 😩 my roots look like they're 4 weeks old after 1 week. I really thought I was doing something wrong because I'm watching all these vids of people saying the leave them on for 4 weeks but mine barely last a week 🤦🏾♀️
well, i mean, at least they aren’t getting completely taken down🤷🏾♀️
It’s a start lol
The mini screams as she shows the unraveled twists 😂😂
You really missed the chance to say “new twist who this” after the first twist and I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little disappointed 😂😂😂 jkjk literally my twists have been in ALL OF QUARANTINE . And they look just like that but I just don’t care enough .
I love mini twists....i braid the first 1/2 inch then twist the rest.....lasts 4 -6 weeks. I Bantu knot them once weekly. I wash and deep condition them in jumbo plaited sections. Loose the section...LOC or LCO them then replait the jumbo section. Let them dry overnight. Pull sections mist and style.
My mini twists bounce back to life when I full-on wet them.
I love the cute-almost locs-style it gives when remoisturized.
When you showed the wild grow, I turned my nose up with the quickness lol. The smell of it is why I stopped using it. I may need to start back tho. I just wish it smelled better cuz lawd 😩
It’s the WORSTTTTTT. But I do think it’s helping a lot.
lmao i like the smell 🥺 it's like a strong herbal tea
This how my twist be looking, that’s why I always talk myself out of doing them lol
Can I just say I was waiting for you to upload. Girrrlllll I’m here for everything u bring.
This was my experience as well. I feel like doing small braids lasts longer for me. When I do mini twists they get hella frizzy automatically. 🤦🏽♀️
Firs of all, I love you lol second mini braids might have to be the move next time because I heard they last longer has well :)
OnlyOneJess But why am I soooo hyped right now 😂 The simple things that make me happy. I commented this on another video. Stay true to who you are because your personality is refreshing and it’s EVERYTHING......
Neither did mine.
First day was so hawt, second day was afro & day 3 was like your intro. Lmao
I think you should try flaxseed gel to coil your ends and they won't unravel, then the twists will last longer. Happy retwisting! I also spray water, add leave in conditioner and seal with an oil every 3 days. It works!
I’m new to mini-twists and taking notes of all these great tips! Thank you! I’m going to do this moving forward.
i've had my hair in mini twists almost the entire quarantine and i feel like leading into that second week is always the roughest lol. also, for moisture i just let the steam get to mine in the shower. do a lil shake and then seal as soon as i get out
Yasss to the steam and sealing afterwards.
You deal with an oil after you let the steam hit your hair in the shower ? Also how often do you do this ?
Sis! Something went wrong. I have mini twists in and I'm on week 2. I've moisturized every 4 days and ool my scalp. I sleep in a satin scarf, with a satin bonnet on a satin pillow case. And I workout 3 times week with running so yes something definitely went wrong. They may be too small???
you should try spraying your hair with water every night of your havent been! i know you dont like the shrinkage but it helps the twist solidify which will keep them from falling apart 😊
Girl I'm in the same situation with my twists chileee they have to wait till Saturday my twists never last a week😩anyway be safe love ya as per usual ❤️
I’m reallyyyyy trying to get them t two werks but it’s looking rough for me 😂 thank you loveeeee
I love that you were honest enough to post this. Also it is awesome that you posted how to remedy this situation 👍🏿
Thank you!! ☺️☺️
I use this oil on my baby hair because she went bald...and babyyyyyy that stuff works! I don't like the way it smells but screw that my daughter was balding
Castor oil?

Me too my twists only last a week and I thought may be it was just only me but seeing you having the same issue I feel relieved
I am cryinggg at me noticing your eyelashes coming off right when you were about to mention them LMAO
Girl I don't know what you're doing that your twists look like that!! I twist my hair every 2 weeks. 30-40 twists on my head. I use the lco method to twist my hair and keep it in a bun like all the time. I don't put the bun all the way down cus it's bad for my edges. I try to oil my hair every day or every 2 days, plus my edges. And once a week has passed remoisturize my hair by putting leave in, cream and oil in that order. Just over my twists, I don't redo it unless the ends are a bit open, but I just redo that part and not the whole twists. I also heavily focus on my ends and work my way up. And when I put my hair in a bun I make sure to tuck my ends in. When I go to sleep I use a satin wrap or scarf and cover that with my bonnet! And then when 2 weeks are up I gently twist my ends in the other direction to unravel it with some oil on my fingers!!! Hopes this helps, it's a bit long tho😶
Hunty... do not sleep on Wild Growth... if you want to change the smell, just add some essential oils... been using that stuff for around 30 years!
Thank you for sharing because I seriously thought I was the only one experiencing this. I workout 5-6 times per week and believe that contributes to it. This week I plan to attempt to keep my hair tied down for at least an hour after the workout to see if that helps. I've tried different products, techniques, adjusted the size so we'll see how it goes.
I've done 2 strand twists on quite a few people and they've lasted a week or more til they've come back for a new do. Even after separating them but. That's life
I redo mine every two weeks n I love them ☺️
People: The smaller you make your twists, the longer they last.
My micro twist after three days: You say what? 🤣
I feel you my twist never last more than a week , after one week they're frizzy and i have to take them down
As I notice the eyelash coming off, Jess makes the disclaimer 😂😂 i friggin love her
Jess! Girl, can we just take a moment to appreciate how absolutely beautiful you are!!! 😍
For my twists, I band them at night and then wear a scarf instead of a bonnet. In the morning I just spritz with a little water, shake and go. That helps my twist stay for weeks. If you aren’t going anywhere just leave them banded until you gonna wear them down.
What do yall be doin!!??😂😂😂 i got mine to last a month before I even washed them and only refreshed the front row. Maybe it’s a hair texture thing. I don’t have silkier finer strands (only in the nape) and my hair stays twisted well. Maybe it depends on the technique too. I basically rope twist.
Everyone telling me they last a month I need y’all to come to my house, we need to have a team meeting lol
I do mini twist so much my advise is too not put your hair in ponytails this allows the hairs to stay neat and also to keep the shape all you need to do when you go sleep is leave your hair down and put on your scarf my twist last me weeks
sameeee. just leave them be. styling them and “hand in hair syndrome” causes them to unravel.
Last for weeks!??? Love the sound of that lol thank you :)
I might be alone in saying this but, I like when twist look older. I would go for the mini rope twists if you're looking for them to last longer. You twist your hair up slightly differently with this style of twist. Also, is bed of a satin cap where a satin scarf or du rag.
“I don’t understand the whole twist is gone! Are they suppose to be goddess twists?”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that’s why i don’t do mini twists lol. They don’t last.
I struggled w/mine sooo bad. The trick for me was to make BIGGER twists, braid the root 4-6 times b4 twisting, blue magic & shine n jam on my strands, & I kinda wrap my hair @ night as if I had a blow out. Bobby puns help me keep it flat.
I do medium sized twists, but I keep them in for 2 weeks and retwist to refresh them around week 1. I do sleep with a satin scarf and I don’t put them in a pony tail. Twists are a great way to grow your hair back. Good luck!!
try mini braids so much neater and last WAY longer. thank me later 👏🏾♥️
Chunky wearable twists are the way the go. Braid at the root. They last a week and I can take it down in about 30 min to be a twistout. Only takes about an hour compared to 4 hours+ for mini twists. And I don't feel bad and exhausted to retwist them again on wash day.
I never knew this happened to other people's mini twists lol Mine always last for weeks, even up to a month, without a problem. But I do make mine a little thicker than yours in this vid, maybe that makes a difference.
I hope these hold on mines and I’m glad somebody with short hair did these I was a little hesitant at first smh but ima gon head and see how these look on me
Go for it sis! Just be prepared to have goddess locks in like 4 days lol
girl my name is taliyah and when you said taliah wajid my heart nearly jumped out my chest, i thought i was in trouble for a minute there lmfaooo
Girl you are funny with that scream😂😂
Sorry not a plug but I can keep my twist in for 3 months. I have great tips if you want your twist to last longer
My hair does that too. The best thing that helped me was using rubber bands kinda like a bunch of mini ponytails. It seems like a lot but my roots stay laid down and it helps me
I laughed when I seen the notification pop up...Jess I had zero faith in you to keep this hairstyle in longer than 4 days lol and the screaming sound effect had me in tears you play entirely too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOLLLL sis I’m tryna keep these in longer come on have faith in ya girl 😂
Great. I got my lazy self to do some mini twists not too long ago. I usually keep my twists in for a week, because how they will look.
A tip: I started doing the banding method with elastic hair ties on my twists to keep it stretch and also maintain the shape. I part my twists either in three (two in front and one in the back) or in four (two in front and two in the back). This prevents unnecessary shrinkage and the shape of the twists return in minutes after release.
Lol, mini twists will ALWAYS let you down before the 2 week mark 😭 but it's ok bc your face still looks good Jess
Noooo, the scream effects 🤣😭😭😭
mini twists were my favorite. tbh, hair texture plays a big part in whether they'll last or not
I've followed a few ladies with 4C hair, and I feel your hair is the closest to my hair texture and length. I have totally felt your pain especially when you had to cut your hair because I recently had to cut a lot off, but it was needed. From all of the other girls I've followed, I feel that the information and tips that you suggest are a true life saver and works for my hair the best.
I did the mini twists, and I definitely had to refresh them within in the week. Within a few days, my hair looked like I had not done my hair at, lol. So I definitely understand where you're coming from. But they're a great protective style and I will continue to do them.
P.s. I braid it a little bit at the roots then twist which I felt made them last a little longer.
We have basically the same length and type hair. I don’t even make parts lol. I just section my hair in 4 and use my fingers to break small pieces to do the twists. I don’t use anything that will make my hair revert but unlike what you did I add a dabble of product on each piece as I’m about to twist it. I spray a mixture of leave-in, water and my concoction of oils on it every day to refresh them and oil my edges and nape. I oil my scalp every other day. They last me two weeks. Then I rinse and repeat lol. It does take a long time to do but it’s worth it cause you don’t have to do anything but refresh, shake and go. Hope that helped lol
My twists never come out. Maybe it’s cuz my hair is a tighter texture but mine like NEVER come out. All I do is twist it tightly and I either coil the ends with some gel or roll it between my thumb and index finger (think like the symbol for money 🤏🏾👌🏾) and it stays in. Maybe you were doing to much styles with them. I usually am able to make them last 3 weeks maybe 4 if I’m really pushing it. Around two weeks is when they start to get a lil frizzy.
Mini twist are very cute but unfortunately for me they don’t last longer than a week either. 😂 I prefer mini braids because they show my true length and they last longer. Plus, I can braid faster than can twist 💁🏾♀️
plaits (braids ) are longer lasting & better , not mini tho 🙃 imho
yessss to the wild hair growth oil 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
highly recommended
☆☆☆☆☆
I’ve noticed if I leave my mini twist in a high bun for a long time it gets messy quickkkkk or if I wash it, it frizzes up at the roots.
What I do to preserve is braid them down during sleep time.
I always tell myself I’m never doing them whilst taking them down then a few months later I’m back again twisting smh
Yessss I stretch mine to the back into 2 low ponytails and use pins...this worked for me
Tiffani W hm! Im going to attempt it this way and see what’s up... once I trick myself into doing these twists again 😩😭
Mini braids last longer than mini twist. Mini braids last a month, mini twist needs touch up weekly or serious manipulation to avoid matting. If you have a boar brush, once done moisturizing, brush your twist or braid gently via sections and wrap your hair for about 30 mins. It will look a lot neater. Those were some tricks we did back in the day to maintain school hairstyle for 2 weeks lol.
I thnk that why they came apart. No moisturizing thru the days it look dry where they came apart@ im on week 3 tryna wait til the 3rd of June b4 i take thm out. Ben wearing my hair lik that for on &off 2years and it helped it grow alot. &i noticed my hair will grab whtevr (hair nets, inside of hoodie hoods among othr things) as if it has lil hands(😂) when its dry ! Thnx for reading
You have to find a good moisturizing product to twist with, wear a bonnet at night, and don't do anything else to them! Mine last a month. If you spray with water or add any products they will frizz up. I had to learn for myself..
I use Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to twist with
See mine at one week and my scalp is on fire lmao.. the twists at my nose are loosened but everywhere else is ok except edges but I want to refresh without redoing them all cause I have 253 twists 💀💀💀
I slick my roots down with edge control (Arcani Coil Care) put a rubber band on my roots and sleep with a satin bonnet every night and I just shake them out everyday and they’re good you should try that. I can send you a picture of how they look if you want.
Are you “rolling” the twist before you cross the two sections? If you twist each strand before cross then over it might help them lay longer. Like the motion is basically a snap but with your thumb and index finger.
Mine literally lasts only 3 days. I thought they would go well with my 4c hair 😀😃but
👁👄👁my hair said no huney❤
Try using a satin durag instead of satin cap because the cap still allows the hair to move around and rub together that causes unraveling and frizz but a durag kind of sucks everything together holding it in place... and we have similar hair characteristics so I definitely feel and lived all your struggles 😁
You honestly crack me up 😂 your struggles and commentary are so relatable omg
ĶI like my twist like this I call them my fake dreads lol. Anywho try braiding before the twist, it will look neater longer. However, when it's time to take them out, I always regret braiding it first 😂.
Hi jess, first time ever commenting. I use the mane choice growth oil but not really sure if I am getting results. Do you prefer using the mane choice growth oil or the wild growth oil? Love your videos btw.
Those screams regarding your unraveled twists. I am Bussin’ up!!😆
Your hair texture is same as mine the contrast between your hands and face is ale as mine. I found my twin people…
So it’s true my hair isn’t bad after all lol it never lasts God😂😂
Try banding them in four at night. Helps mines last 2/3 weeks without touch ups.
That’s why I can’t do styles on dry stretched hair. I don’t how y’all do this and go 2 weeks..my hair and scalp could never..
Huge fan of this protective style, but is it just me that my hair tangles (like ras locd up) in a matter of 2 weeks and more if its in too long...lol🙈
Yeah it's not the best smelling and it itches like HELL, but you can't argue with the results
Fellow island girl here - Do we have the exact same hair? My twists look trash after 5 days no matter how I try or what kind of shine and jam I use. If you find the secret let me know sis!
That wild growth pulled my hair out DONT WORK FOR ME
Girl I am so glad to hear you say that your twist lasted a week because mines never last long so thank you for your honesty. But your twist in the back looks good.👍🏼
Be careful Jess you might be on to something with that goddess mini twist idea🤔🤣...
Not surprising... my hair dries in twist and my edges disappear..... easier to wet my hair more often, then to protective style
