I started doing my hair in mini braids (not twists, just braids) in 2010. It was my junior year of college and I was still learning how to do my hair. It has helped my hair to grow so much. However, what really amplified my hair growth was my herbal powder drinks and covering my head with scarves. I started covering my hair last year when a stranger grabbed my hair on the train. This was not the first time a stranger grabbed my hair, but this time was different because he was so bold about it. I started to cover my hair because I was tired of people judging me for my hair and because I was afraid another stranger would grab me. I put on a silk scarf beneath the scarves and matched each scarf with my attire for the day. My hair felt softer and I barely had any knots using this method.
The herbal powders, I would mix them in water, sometimes an individual powder and sometimes several powders. I was mainly doing this to help my teeth and gums which I have struggled with for a while. I knew my hair was growing from them because my eyelashes and nails became thicker. The powders I used the most were: chlorella, maca, blue spirulina, white oak bark, damiana, horsetail/shavegrass, baobab, red clover and lemon balm. I also poured in other liquids in the water like Ormus (monatomic gold), colloidal minerals and trace mineral drops. My hair may be waist length or a few inches from it but I'll see when I get my next trim.
Is there a specific brand you use?
@@christinesimpson304 Since I work in a health store, I usually use whatever brand of herbs and vitamins we have at the time. For the herbs, I usually use Starwest Botanicals. If we don't have that brand, the other brands I can select from are Terrasoul, Frontier, Sunfood and Mountain Rose Herbs. For the vitamins, it varies. I usually will use Zhou, NOW, Solaray, Kal or whatever other brand we have at the time. With the oils, the brands are usually NOW and Heritage Store. If I am using tea bags, the brands are Buddha, Health King and Bravo
@@pageturningpriestess2859 omg I love mini braids! I also do them a lot and wrap them up in Headwraps too! Definitely has grown out my hair a lot! With the herbal waters, do you mix all those powders together? Or do you make separate drinks with different herbs? Please drop your herbal waters recipe!😆
@@dianaa-y9970 I love mini braids too 🌞🌞❤️ As far as the powders, sometimes I mix them together or use them individually. I also add them to my tea sometimes. The powders not only help with my hair and bones but a lot of them are blood cleansers, immune system builders and also help with the health of the uterus
Hey Page, awesome results..❤ Can you name the brand of herbal drinks you use please..❤😂❤😂
The "borrowing hair" "equal parts" tip is solid GOLD !
I started my mini braid journey because I wanted microlocs as well with out the commitment lol. I use Ayurvedic teas to moisturize my hair, and I still deep condition and wash my hair on a regular basis in my braids. I also seal with castor oil, I love curly proverbz the golden one 🥰
Curly Proverbz is OG. Literally the best at everything hair!

@@adenikefavouredYESS Curly Proverbz is the OG hair care Queen! Loveeee her sm! 🥰
@@curlcodeblack I do around 200 as well. And that coffee and orange oil has decreased soooo much of my shedding!
I'm so lost on how you maintain your twist for 2 months. My hair is a mess within a few days. That is with minimal styling. Your hair is beautiful.
What is your hair texture? Some texture "fuse together" "better" than others. My hair can stay in twists for monthsss. I used to religiously do 6-8 weeks. My new stylist told me not to, HAHA. So I am doing monthly, like in between going to her. I am guessing since my hair is REALLY course it stays put.
I used to have that problem then I started
1. Stretching my hair prior I usually wash and use African threading or blow dry. Ik I shouldn’t blow dry but it has saved my hair.
2. The parts I used to part by faith and not by sight. Yeah… I had to get serious about my parting because funky parts = funky twists
3. Twisting as tight as possible. This I struggled with. I worked on it by watching videos.
Now I can leave my twists in for about 2-3 months before i would be looking homeless by day 2 💀💀
Then again if your hair is very fine it’s kinda hard to avoid that frizzy look. My hair is quite coarse
You should only leave it for 4 weeks or it will start matting bad
@@JessicaSmith-ie7cm It's a mix a type 4
Yeah same here, I guess it has to do with texture. If your hair is looser it’s gonna get really, REALLY frizzy. It’s the same like with locs. Tighter type 4C textures the hair doesn’t slip out and instead fuses together and thus locs faster and better, but looser tend to take longer and they also get frizzy/loose.
This was a very affirming video. You echoed a lot of the things I’ve come to realize from trial and error. Currently redoing my mini twists, and probably for the first time I’m not stressing about how long it’s taking. I’m being very deliberate and intentional with every section. And to see how length is retained just from the past month, I’m so grateful to finally find the style and way to care for my hair. There was so much bs I dropped along the way, and I laugh at how ridiculous they seem to be, now that I am here. Something that I am also appreciating is new growth hair. It’s so thick, and strong, healthy. I used to dread seeing new growth when I relaxed or hot comb press my hair. Imagine the freedom in seeing the beauty of new growth instead of seeing it as a burden. This is the first haircare video I’ve seen in a long ass time. And I started my journey when all we had was a couple of message boards to connect to other sisters. You said exactly the things that needed to be said, and did it in an honest way. Thank you for sharing this confirmation.
I feel a lot of people still don't understand the concept of protective styling and what it entails.
This video makes a good reference for me to make people understand. Thanks for sharing this cos I thought I was the only one who is actually “protective styling" for real😅.
ur hair was not this long the last time i saw u omg. u are not lying about these mini twists 😭
Mini twists are the truth!! 🥹🥹
Braiding the roots and twisting the rest is a good tip.
I would love to see a video, "A week in my mini twists" to have a more detailed layout. Thanks, new subscriber here.
Putting my mini twist in rn😭man it’s been 2 days
It be like that! 😭
@@WilliamsPinch Fr😢
Truth! I do regular-semi mini twists and the GROWTH! My hair loves them and I do too 😊
Keeping them hydrated and moisturized is key!
Omg hey girl! Not me now realizing that I wasn’t subscribed this whole time😮 silly me my bad! Thanks for sharing this gem of video! Currently also on a mini braids journey at the moment but i’m taking a break for the summer with my new goddess knotless braids i had done for my birthday a week ago🤗😍 Yes please start a mini twists series! That would be awesome!
For your next mini twists related video, may you please do a full detailed tutorial on how you moisturize your hair in mini twists/a mini twists maintenace video for hɔir growth? Would love to see that next🥳🥳🥳🥳
I had my twist in for 3.5 months while recovering from neck surgery and baby let me tell you the growth!!! Next time I will do them myself because I didn't like setting foam on my hair.
Love your hair content. 💕 I l"ve been on a mini flat twist journey for the past almost 2 years. Prior to that, I was on a mini twist journey for up to 7 years. I've maintained the majority of my length. I trim my hair every 3 to 4 months as needed. Keeping ends tucked is the truth. Propper preparation and maintained as well.
Tailbone? I’m just trying to get to waist length 😭
You’ll get there. Slowly but surely. Just be sure to focus on length retention.
Meee! Just please Lord let me hit that 20 inches 😭
Me toooo
@@queennaturelle99 it’s been a journey. I’m at bra/mid back length currently. My current routine has been working wonders. So I’m hoping by this time next year I’ll have reached my goal 🤞🏽
@@alaysiab and you’ll get there hun, I know so.
I've been doing mini twists since 2015, and it really works. ❤
I will use this advice for when I do my kinda mini braids. My hands cramp when I do my twists or braids too small lol.
I wish you would've covered the following points:
1) Washing schedule for 1 install that last 2 months . Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis?
2) Install Prep: Do you start on blow dried hair or on damp hair. At first, it seemed like you were starting on damp hair and then you moved on to blow dried hair. I'm just trying to understand the benefit of starting a fresh set of twists of blow dried hair. if your expected to moisturize every 5 to 7 days, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
3) Do you refresh/redo your twists around your forehead over a period of 2 months?
2 she do a blow out first. I just binge watched some of her videos and that’s what I gather.
Hmmmm I do wonder do she wash it. But she gonna make me implement oil back into mines
When it comes to washing mini twists, everyone's outcome is different. In the 3.5 months that I wore mini twists, I washed my hair 3 times and had no problems. My cousin washed hers 2 times and her twists matted badly after 2 months, so now she will redo hers monthly.
I thought this was a two strand twist tutorial I enjoy watching those
Very good advice on caring for your hair, it makes perfect sense what you said.
I've found that having a good wash day 1-2 days PRIOR to removing the twists actually helps with takedown. The hair is more moisturized and balanced. Fewer tangles. It's been a game change for me.
I just started mini braids on 6/22/24. After a recent cut, I’m right above bra/mid back length. I feel like after each trim I’m somehow at this same spot. I’m hopeful to reach tailbone length within a year. I’m also doing other aggressive growth methods.
Loved the video! So informative and inspiring.💗 I would love to see a video on how and when you trim. Do you go to the salon or have you learned to trust yourself? Also, do you even plan to straighten?! Maybe a mini twist q&a?! Much love and thank you for sharing!
Thank you so so much!! This video was so informative💖
You're so welcome!🥰🩷
Aye I'm watching this with mini/two strand twists in my hair. It has literally became my new favorite style next to a good wash n go. It's been really helpful for me in the summer. I usually do a few weeks of wash n go, then month of mini twists, really just do what is best for my hair and life at that time. Braiding at the root was such a life changer too. Omggggg! It really helped with the tangling. And I'm the same with how far down I braid it down. Twists have helped me retain length so much. I don't get trims often and every time I go to a salon they are always surprised by how healthy my ends are!
Time and patience is gonna be the hurdle for me. But it's only on the retwist and takedown. To keep the parts I combine the process. That's why I can't do twists all the time. I need the 20min wash n go's to break the monotony and labor. That's why I do twists for a month then wash n go's for a few weeks. Cuz the more my hair grows the longer the retwist gets and I don't want to get lazy and take worse care of my hair. Excited for a mini twist series! ❤️
This is SUPER helpful!!! Thank you so much ❤
You're so welcome! 🥰🥰
I wonna get to tailbone length too. Thanks for the info. I mainly do mini twists and ayurvedic masks.
I love this. Thank you for sharing! ❤
You are so welcome!🥰🫶🏾
I was loc'd for a little under 2 years, when I finally took them out I had minimal shedding and my hair had grown to mid-back length. And honestly it is due to moisturizing and retwisiting with light products. I would retwist and moisturizer with aloe water and oil and that's it!
After watching this video, I'm going back to the basics but with mini twist.
I'm EARLY.....
Love to learn from you❤
@@ashleighcharakupa7837 hey Queen!! 🩷 thank you for tuning in! I really hope you enjoyed the video! 🥰
@@curlcodeblack
I loved it! Been borrowing hair & had a sneaky feeling that's what was causing so much breakage during take down. Will definitely restart the twist in the future. Thank you🙏🏾
Your hair is beautiful 😍
This video was everything I needed. Confirmation of what I've been wanting to do. 1 year micro loc'd, but prefer this method. Thanks for sharing sis.
I’m a mini twist girlie as well so really appreciated your insights ❤
I so agree with the mini twist best of both worlds
QUEEN!!! 😍💖😍👑
Hey girl heyyyyy! After finding your channel I was devasted to see it wasn't active for long form 😭🫶🏾
You have convinced me to stick to mini twists rather than extensions. Less time to install, cheaper to keep up with. And I can't wait to get some henna!!
MaaamAAAaaa I swear..😩😩😩
I bought extensions to do knotless braids over 4 months ago but I still haven't opened the packs. I been doing mini twists.... besides, I actually like to wash and moisturize my hair with ease. Extensions just weigh my hair down and my hair does not retain moisture.
@@QueenMufasa552 Exactly!
What’s your exact moisture routine? How many times a week, is there anything you do to avoid your hair mating; a specific way to apply moisturizer?
I retain so much length doing mini twists. I retain about 1.5 inches every 2 months.
How long do you keep them in? And do you wash them while they're in, and how often?
@@usainabolt5244 I keep them in about 2-3 weeks. I wash them while they are in, but I redo them after washing. Through trial and error I learned that I can’t wash them and leave them. The tangling is too much. I see other women who can though, so you may just have to see what works for you. I work out about 4 times a week, so I use aloe vera juice to cleanse my scalp in between washes.
@@usainabolt5244some people say 4 weeks but honestly you can go longer than that if you so wish. Just make sure you’re taking care of the hair or else it might get matted. Yes you can wash your hair while they are in and I guess how many times you want, just do retwists if you see any that unraveled
@@usainabolt5244 I leave them in for 3 weeks. I wash them while they are in, but then I redo them after washing. Washing them and leaving them doesn’t work for me, but I know some people do it.
Hey it will be nice to see how you maintain your mini twists, if you wash your hair with the mini twists in and how often, how long after washing you moisturize, how often you do a twist refresh or do you do over the entire thing
Hello. Peace and love. I had locs for 1 year and 3 months and I cut them off. I realize I miss my loose natural curly hair so my plan is to do the same as you are doing but I am doing a braid and twist journey but with extensions. So I will mainly do protective styles and wear my loose natural hair out every now and then. I did love my locs but I don’t think I will ever loc my hair again. Thank you for sharing. Peace, love and blessings 🌷💐💚💜💗
I have high porosity hair and I do medium twist and redo weekly!!
So helpful! Thank you! I started installing mini twist earlier this year, and I’m on my second install.
Do you have tips or suggest washing your hair during the mini twist period?
Great information. Tfs.
My density tho. So much scalp would be showing 😩😭. Your hair is gorgeous 😍
hey, quick question how often do you take down your mini twists during the yr? Is it every two months for washing or do you watch them in the mini twist? Also do you recommend installing the twist on stretch hair/blow-out hair? because in your other videos, you emphasize blowing out your hair before installing the twist. Thanks for the tips btw
Great video! Question : Have you ever done mini braids before? If no, would you do mini braids on yourself?
mini braids are harder to take out imo because theyre more compact but they keep the hair more stretched than mini twist if i did braids id do them a little bigger so they aren’t super hard to take out
I need to start a twist journey ASP love your hair I am a new subscriber ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would love to be a mini twist babe but I have hands in hair syndrome so I’m opt to wear wig for the month of July then mini twist for August. Vise verse. I just big chopped major head damage from bra strap to a mini fro at lease my hair can still twist and braid in cornrow so I’m thankful for the length still , while I did my own big chop, it’s very choppy so I’m growing it out and in 3 months I’ll go get it shape up properly
I'm really envious lol. Mini twists don't work out for me because I need to shampoo my scalp every 4-5 days. So stretching my hair and then doing mini twists is a waste. And even if I try to gently cleanse while wearing twists, they just tangle up and get puffy. I so wish I could just twist and leave my hair alone😔
Same, mine start to lock up. I'm going to try starting the twist as a braid instead so the roots don't tangle and also make them a little bigger.
@Carpathianpixie Yes, I try it that way too. Bigger twists with the roots braided do make a nice twist out for me. But I still can't leave them in...if I leave them in longer than a week they still tangle or start to loc up as well. 😒
I had to change to mini braids instead maybe that would be better cause mg hair locs uo 2 😭
I was very disappointed that you didn’t show us how you did your mini twists.
She has another video showcasing that
I recently just came out of mini twists that lasted two months (yeah I know) hair definitely got longer but boyyy my ends were in dire need of a trim
Hey!
Thanks for your video and tips 😊
I used to wear mini twists for years and for some reason never saw length retention. When I wore mini braids I did see length retention 🤷🏿♀️
I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.
May I ask how long you keep your mini twists in for? Do you wash your hair in twists? And can I ask if you swim much or are you active and sweat in your hair much?
I hope you don't mind me asking these questions x
Im sure you have used the camille rose honey leave in before. Would love to see how it works on your twists. I am not a huge fan of it but I am not fully against it either 😂.
I love your content! Starting my mini twist journey today 🎉 where do you get your head-wraps from?
Do you ever do styles with extensions or strictly natural twists?
Hey girl!
Thank you for this video! Do you have a video with the products you use to keep the moisturized while in the style? I’m a visual learner 😅 7:01
What leave-in are using actually ? And what is your top 3 fav leave-in please ? 🥰
Beautiful! I’m doing mini twists and trying to retain more length. Thanks for these tips! This hairstylist I went to several times discouraged me from using oil in my hair. Any thoughts on that ? So many natural girlies use oil and their hair flourishes so I really am confused by their recommendation.
I love your hairrrrrr 😊 no but once I left heat alone it’s finally growing back ☺️ I’m not even going to use a comb anymore and my hair sheds less ❤
hey thanks for the knowledge ❤
My mini twist get frizzy and tangle so quickly and i try to keep it in head raps whenever i can and i always sleep with a satin scarf.
can you help me plz ?
Thank you very much for this video, I'm looking to start my mini twist journey for hair growth too, please how often do you wash your hair now? I'm considering washing monthly instead of every two weeks like i currently do cause of i want to meet a stylist to install the twists and see if i can keep them looking neat and moisturized dor up to a month and if i decide to wash in between i feel thw hair will become very frizzy and way too unkept since o don't plan on retwisting till the month os over...
Please just lemme know what you think per your experience?
What is your Wash routine for the mini twists
She has a shorts video showing her wash day :)
I’m still at the twa phase and my hair only wants to be in a fro 😭 I’ll get there
Are you Canadian? You sound Canadian Jamaican. You sound like Ika Wong or some other Jamaican Canadians I follow
@@HairByPierre I actually am Jamaican Canadian love!! 🇯🇲 🇨🇦
Are you washing with them in? And when u say weekly maintenance, are u just redoing a few? When you take them down, are you undoing the whole head at once and combing out the parts, washing, then re-parting? Or undoing one twist combing it out and redoing it one by one and keeping the parts? Lemme see if there’s a tutorial cuz I need more info. Trying to do this the right way
Where do you get your wraps?
It would be nice if you included the pics of the products that you use.
Im so interested in the black stretchy scarf. Do tell?.. 😊
I wished my mini twist would last a week. 2-3 days and it looks like I hade them for a month. Sometimes I leave them and just take a few days taking them down. I cannot retwist every few days, but I wish I could.
Have you tried using a silk scarf before bed? It helps reduce frizz
Mini braids last way longer than twists, and can withstand being washed without getting tangled
To help it stay longer: You can use a light amount of hair wax or Murray's beeswax, curl your ends, use a hair wrap or stocking cap to sleep - don't allow your hair to rub against anything thats not smooth.
That’s so normal, you can braid the root it helps. Mini twist don’t last long but you don’t have to retwist them when they start to be frizzy. Retwist after 2 weeks at most. Wear silk or satin scarf.
@@ELLAWARD of course. And pillow cases, sheets, and bonnets. It is just the nature of my hair.
I have long hair, but a lot of breakage so doing mini twists get very messy and they look a hot mess.
My hair starts to lock in between other twist at the root. I thought it was because I was parting sloppy.
my mini twists always look boneless 😭
Don’t your hair start locking with keeping twist in for that long? I kept mine in for 1 month and it started locking up.
Thank you for that even hair on both sides tip! I definitely borrow hair from the other side and that’s probably where I get my single knot when taking it out
@curlcodeblack. I have been rockin with you for a while....But the sound of your videos are tooo low. Can you make an improvement there???
Have you tried wearing earbuds or earphones? I'm hearing her perfectly without either.
I would like to learn th brand mini twist and how to maintain the up keep I know you taught me to do mini twist but when do I was then?
Thanks this have started my hair growth jurney.
Can you please please please make a video explaining how to keep mini twist from getting soo tangle and matted.
whenever i install my twist, in one week or two weeks it so frizzy.
Thank you very much.
loveeeee your videos!!!❤
If you have mixed textures, there's nothing you can do about it.
I wish I could but I look like a wet rat when I wear mini twists 😢.
I had to blast my tv to even be able to hear you the slightest bit. Even on my phone it still wasn’t very loud. Such valuable information , but it’s a chore to even try to engage with your content. 😢 Adobe’s AI audio tool could have fixed this in seconds.
I have a 3yr old cheapy android phone and the volume on the video was fine. I didn't need to cast it to my TV to hear it.
@@beeznhoney4323I’m hearing well, without mac volume, as well.
The Kim kardashian style of talking is getting so old 😫
I noticed only Afro Caribbean living in America talks like that along with young American white women.
But yeah, mini twist routine is brilliant
Huh🙄 KimK is just on _your_ mind.
Not everyone blindly idolizes KimK, but she must be heavily on _your_ mind🙄
That's not how the brain works. Your logic and rationale lack intelligence 😂
So because she talks like Kim Kardashian, that makes me idolize Kim? Your comprehension skills are lacking 😂
She doesn’t sound like Kim to me.
