(19) Natural Hair Protective Style ~ Chunky Flat Twists Updo

I posted a picture of this protective style that I was able to throw together in about 15 minutes and was asked if I would do a video so here it goes. It was filmed late so don't mind my uneven parting technique LOL.
Leave your questions below!
Products used - Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioner, bobby pins, scrunchy & rat tail comb for parting.
I hope you enjoy the video!

My sister the hair is simple, lovely, and elegant. Thank you for sharing.👍

[@conniecalhoun8540]

I tried this style and was in Chicago over the weekend and was stopped by so many people regarding how nice my hair looked! One woman even took pics to take to her hairdresser, thank you so much for sharing!

[@lady_1076]

I know Im 8 years late, just now seeing this video. I absolutely LOVE this style. But I cannot flat twist to save my life lol. Could you do a tutorial on how to flat twist?!😁🙏

[@SumetraReed]

Lady _ thank you love! I have a how to flat twist video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6Omi62XfKxoj6c

[@lsutube4330]

Thank you so much for posting this hairstyle. I tried the style and it really only takes 15 minutes! Love it

[@brownysugar]

u have very beautiful thick hair!

[@katerina3451]

YES, indeed it is!!! I've watched it (and made with difficulty) copies for others, but it was worth it and I definitely spread the word and glad to see others are as well!!

[@yazonce]

I absolutely love this style! When I first went natural two years ago, this was the first protective style I ever tried. Two years down the line and I still love it. I've learned so much and this is honestly my favourite full on protective style. I always get so many compliments whenever I do it! Thank you for sharing!

[@Crimson2AT]

Really like this! Your hair is so thick that it is nice and full.

[@Niamba101]

That is the prettiest flat twist up do protective style I've ever seen on KZbin. I'm in my 8th month of Transitioning to natural and I'm going to try this one thanks so much 😎

[@satekelly]

Gosh I'll never ever think of styles like this :( FAIL! Thanks for sharing :)

[@ariahead]

Your smile at the end is priceless. Beautiful.

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

Very creative-great job!

[@NubianCafeTV]

Girl! You're hair is the BOMB! So inspirational. Thanks.

[@humminbirrrd]

To me this looks like pure magic! I can only hope to ever get that good with flat twisting.

[@Roohans]

I love that even though this video is almost 10 min you get right to it an dont waste time! love the style

[@MyNaturalRealityTV]

Wow you made it look so quick and easy :) That parting is what takes me forever and a day!

[@2downand1togo]

The best flat twist I've seen!!!

[@MzMelange]

You look stunning in this natural protective style. Thank for sharing how to create it! It's a very elegant style! I can imagine how nice and wavy your hair is when you untwist this style.

[@tammeracalisha5575]

One word....WOW! I must try this real soon! Girl you are amazing with hair!🥰

[@brittany5226]

This is cute. I hate when I try to look for updo styles and all I find are mohawk styles. I'm so over mohawks, lol. There's the mohawk puffs & buns, then there are the styles where everything is braided or twisted to the center OMG, enough! Or there's the two side flat twists with the low bun in the back, or the people who think they can roll tuck and pin and BAM, good enough to go in public, lol. I'm sure you can tell that I appreciate the originality in this look.

[@SumetraReed]

Girl you had me laughing so hard reading your comment LOL! So glad you like it

[@fitGURL67]

I LOVE IT!!! It is SO pretty and so are you!

[@Prettiuneekdesigns]

Love it, I am so inspired to try this one.

[@vchick2010]

AWESOME! !! Very GOOD! You inspired me to try this on my hair which is shorter but I think I can do it....at least I am going to try. I am so very inspired by all of the beautiful sistas on you tube ...you are showing us how to grow our hair, style and wear with PRIDE. Love it ....You are Beautiful. ...thank you for sharing ♥

[@jessica44120]

So fly! I love this. I will be going to a comedy show with my mom tomorrow this will be perfect thanks so much for sharing and making it simple to follow!

[@brendabrown5530]

I really like your video, the hair style was easy, to do but very stylish to wear anywhere.

[@cryptic976]

I think this seems like a really good beginner flat twist style, thanks for sharing!

[@dawnharris4261]

Still the best 'go to protective style'

[@tknight51]

Wore this to school today and got many compliments .. Thank you !!!

[@stephaniehaley6232]

I'm going to give this a try for church it's easier than what I thought it would be

[@shadicar6]

Terrific job! Finally a protective style I like that uses just my hair. I've been looking for protective styles other than buns and ones that don't require adding hair and this one fits the bill. Subbing because you gave me something I can do and you are just so cute!

[@tiffneyyoung4849]

I love it! Quick up do for the Summer!!

[@CrystalsVanity]

Yessss!!! I have been looking for a "different" protective style for a while now. I'm so sick of bunning! Ugh. I will be trying this tonight.Great video!

And she said she had watched your video as well.

[@BronxPrincess88]

Thanks so much for this style! I was in a style rut cause I was tired of doing a high puff and this was the answer to my prayers. I had to do the twist in the back like 6 times cause they kept unraveling but I finally got it. Yippeee! LOL!
