4 REASONS TO LOVE 'IN-BETWEEN TWISTS'

Hair-lo folks,
As mentioned all over my Instagram page (Naturally_High_Hair), I oddly often find myself preferring the look of my in-between twists to my originally styled twists due to the added volume. I consider them a treat at the end of a more tightly twisted style. There are other reasons I like them though: they save time, they reduce manipulation, they mimic loose hair and they can be washed without looking a mess. Watch this video for a clear explanation as to why I delay re-twisting my hair and also to see what the process looks like.
Give me your feedback! :)

This is the Cipriana technique from urban bush babes. With it your hair will go a looong way (literally!)

[@NaturallyHigh]

Thanks for your comment. I didn't know she kept her hair in the same twists she washed it in. Would love to have a mane like hers! :)

[@sweetandsimple.]

Naturally High we all want her kinda mane lol. I don't think she washes with the twists in but she does leave her hair in loose twists all the time for the reasons you mentioned. It resembles loose hair, less breakage and it's easier to move and style. I try washing with twists in but they always unravel. What's your secret?

[@NaturallyHigh]

@@sweetandsimple. I think my texture keeps them in. I also normally plait my twists before washing.

[@candlecane]

@@NaturallyHigh Yea, she doesn't unravel them. She usually twists the loose twists to wash them so it's twists made up of twists and then unravels them back to the loose twists once dry. TK, her twin, does the same but with braids.

[@Prov31Beauty-Seeinglassfull]

@@sweetandsimple. Mine too, am wondering if I might also braid not just the root as NH says but to also braid near the tips?

[@honeygirlnyc]

Your hair looks gorgeous. I had to flip back to the beginning to re-read the warning/apology because I wanted to be sure I'd understood properly! That tipped bun is lovely - if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have assumed that was purposeful and beautiful. I almost never wear twists out in public because mine look wrecked so quickly that it didn't seem worth the effort to me. I see if half-twists might be a game-changer!

[@oneflowerlover]

Honey, I wear a tipped bun all the time. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

[@astridm9705]

Same! I love the lopsided bun!

[@boutux]

I recently started washing my hair in twists because it saves water and time but I need to add product and detangle then retwist (if I'm not doing a W&G) or else my hair gets really bad knots especially at the roots. I'm afraid my hair would get matted if I left loose twists in my hair for that long, especially if I didn't retwist them first. I picture the nightmarish detangling session after. So nope this one is not for me.

[@QueenBee1118]

I never wash loose twists. I rarely wash regular twists. And if I wash twists, I braid them. I find the best success with avoiding tangles and mats by washing braids. I cycle between braids and twists to detangle and clean up parts.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Washing twists in plaits is indeed really helpful for preventing knots! Thanks for the comment! Hopefully others will see this so they know to do the same thing.

[@chalseywilder937]

That makes more sense, this seems like if you don't do it just right you'll have locs

[@abbieroberts3093]

Thank you for this advice. My hair tangles very badly even in normal twists (I have fine hair and the back of my hair is looser than the front so it just unravels by itself). I think this will work well with my hair in braids 👍🏾👍🏾

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

This is nearly my exact process! I put my loose twists in and let them sit for two week. Then I give it a week and wear my hair in a wash and go which I stretch with the banding method

[@Prov31Beauty-Seeinglassfull]

Ahhh the description sounds like I have just found my desired hair-home! If this dont work with my shorter hair, I d try it braided - loose-braids - hehehe!

[@briellastellar6673]

I like the loose twists look on you.

[@hannah60000]

I agree. It's a style that won't suit us all. I'm glad if this works for some. We got to do what's best for our hair :)

[@siobhansmith6527]

Thank you for sharing 💙 I've been wavering between recommitting to loose twists or just do two strand twist (that don't last a week in my frizzy hair). Looks like I can do both!

[@valeriesmith15]

Thank you for your video, very informative. Your hair looks very beautiful. I wash my hair twice a week, so I wash my hair in loose twists, my style is putting my hair in flat twists. I detangle with a conditioner, using a Denman brush. I use a lot of oil on my hair, which I also add to my shampoo.

[@BB-xv2xk]

Can't wait!!!

[@user-um7tw6kx4r6]

Interesting! Your hair looks great!

[@JohannaDenny]

Already, I started shedding LESS hair. Thank you.

[@daisydavis3974]

Interesting, i'll be trying these in-between twists. Are you able to do a demonstration of how you do it after a wash and them maintin it afterwards? After washing my hair I've just been re-twisting my hair but after hearing your advice I don't wanna over stress my hair! Love your updo or bun. Thanks allot. 😊

[@paralite22]

I usually start with loose hair after having my hair in twists for 3 to 4 weeks. Currently I'm in a protective style and have been for 3 weeks. I only redid my perimeter after a cowash that left stray hairs (baby hairs) coiled up around my perimeter. I've used edge laying product before but my 4 c hair laughs those off. I will try loose twists. The less manipulation the better

[@daana823]

just beautiful!

[@AmandaMaHlophe]

Liking the video without watching. Just for just!

[@NaturallyHigh]

Thank you Love!

[@elizabethpacquit-davis4336]

I can't do loose twists because the bigger the twists the more the become undone. Even with cowashing my hair gets knotted if twists aren't redone 😒😥 Love your videos by the way.

[@candlecane]

You don't have to make them big. If your hair is shorter then make them smaller and they should hold.

[@j2d532]

Late to the scene. Flaxseed gel should hold it.

[@lovedestinae6997]

I need to get on board with twists..but i find i cant get then to last long in me hair...urs always look so good..im goin to give it another try tho

[@solarlola5953]

Just learned something. Thanks

[@beautifuldreama8714]

You are so beautiful, sis!! ❤

[@NaturallyHigh]

Thank you Love!

[@Ossouko]

I have to look into this . I have tried but they always unravel. I will check the Quann twins I think that's how they rock their hair too! 😄

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

Very pretty hun💕

[@NaturallyHigh]

Thank you!

[@tiyang44]

Might give this a try. I usually remove twists, wash hair and twist over my hair.

[@NaturallyHigh]

tiyang44 it’ll save some time for sure! Be sure to monitor your knot situation. Let me know how it goes! 😘

[@londonpurses6533]

Love your channel and content so much!!! Very helpful tips ❤️ Are you living in the UK?

[@NaturallyHigh]

Really pleased to read that. Nope, I haven’t lived in the U.K. since I was a child. I live in Zurich right now.

[@RochelletheRealtor]

Great video!

[@NaturallyHigh]

The Effortless Naturalista thanks Love!

[@joanc551]

i do try to keep my hair in twists for as long as possible,(4 to 6 weeks) I have shoulder length 4c hair and I find, the more I wash it, the worse it looks and the more breakage and slower "apparent" growth I have.

[@aliciabrillante]

I need to know more about these in between twists. I am so scared if I did this my hair would look fuzzy and messy and mat and tangle... I do want less work though so I'm going to try it.

[@LaaDiosaa]

Hey Girlie, my protective styling has become ridiculous due to laziness... I had bra strap length, I just put a chunkie braid in my hair like a ponytail braid and I rock it! I felt guilty because I got so lazy this winter I haven't wash my hair for 2 weeks but I unravelled the braid 2 hydrate it today and my hair was visibly longer 😲! I got shook maybe this is what my hair likes 2 be completely left alone, plus it's stretching my hair wow. Now I think why bother with long ass hairstyles, I will eventually let my hibernate with a wig on it!

[@NaturallyHigh]

That sounds fantastic. It also sounds as though it's a pretty hairstyle. Honestly, that's the key and you've found it. Wearing your hair in these two plaits and then taking them out to wash and re-style will help you gain those inches. I'm really happy for you and tempted to try out a similar style myself. If only I could do semi-decent French plaits on my thick hair!

[@LaaDiosaa]

@@NaturallyHigh Your hair is absolutely gorgeous but you're more organized than myself... You have really found a method that suits your hair, and you keep it detangled as you go along. My hair clearly loves minimal level of manipulation, so I decided to put into cornrow throughout the whole winter protected by a wig or a turban... I will wash, condition and moisturise every week then every 2 weeks I will refresh them 👊

[@hushedthoughts]

Hmmm I'm going to try this! I've been experiencing extreme dryness so dry that I've been clipping my ends almost weekly due to split ends and fairy knots.I hope this will help.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Sarita Mckinnie oiling your ends should help with that! Good luck!

[@r.m.miller]

I normally take my twists down and work with my fro but right now I have yarn braids in and I have a pretty busy schedule coming up. I'm already leaving the braids in longer than I would normally have and when I finally take them down I might do in- between twists with the sections until I can braid my hair up again. Maybe lol.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Rachel Miller being busy/lazy leads to extreme length retention, in my experience! Sounds like a stellar plan!

[@hushedthoughts]

Can you do a tutorial on your twits and wash routine? Would love to see it! How many (a guess) twists are there. Trying to get a feel for how small my twists should be

[@NaturallyHigh]

Sarita Mckinnie I’d estimate around 30.

[@alesiethedon]

You're so pretty been looking forward to your videos for a while now. Can you do a video about your job I'm in the last year of my bachelors in bioscience. 😘😘

[@NaturallyHigh]

Alesie aw thank you! I’d love to but I haven’t found my final job yet. I’m learning German intensively (in Zurich) and job hunting so I don’t think I’m the right person to talk about that just yet.

[@aleidamina7828]

Thanks for sharing ❤😚 una pregunta en tu experiencia puedes decir si tú cabello cuando ganaba longitud cambio su "comportamiento" habló de la textura hidratación...

[@NaturallyHigh]

Aleyda Mina al respeto no ha cambiado mi cabello.

[@xXMoonlightQueridaXx]

I have no time to be pulling out,wash,detangling, then parting to put back the same twists.....nope stop doing that. However, what is important is that when it is loose and detangled..you take the time to part it well so that you have defined sections that you can wash, untwist individually and retwist and not have a lot of mixing. Yes I approve the method...the first time will take long but after you can relax on next sessions....aumm why ma comment suh long🤔

[@xXMoonlightQueridaXx]

Do you get hydral fatigue from using the conditioner and oil to detangle

[@lovedestinae6997]

I don't like this premiere setting..shoo i keep checking and each time getting upset cuz i cant watch it yet lol

[@memesimone2121]

I'm pushing for every 4 weeks twist 😂

[@latishalatta1053]

Twisting is such a great style when you don’t want to keep manipulating ur hair that’s why I do it all the time. I try to redo my twist and make them loose, but I always have the issue of having individual strands of hair in different sections which makes it hard to re-twist them. Is there a technique that u use to help with that so doing loose twist won’t be such a hassle?

[@NaturallyHigh]

Hey there, Is your problem that hairs migrate from one section to another? I always coat my hair in conditioner and coconut oil before taking my loose twists out. Maybe that'll help you too!

[@latishalatta1053]

Okay yes I forgot that you do that, I will try that next time this will help me a lot 🙂thanks!

[@sassys1240]

I like the style, no need for disclaimer

[@ToyaF82]

Do you braid the end of the twists to keep them from unraveling?

[@NaturallyHigh]

lfutrell82 not normally. I just twist as much as I can and then twirl.

[@NaomiMordi]

Yeah. If you mean in between tight and loose, that's what I've been doing! 😄

[@NaturallyHigh]

Naomi Mordi hey, not quite. I mean the twists I wash my hair in. I normally detangle and retwist my hair before washing it. After wash day, I tend to re-style my twists as soon as possible. In this video, I talk about the benefits of not restyling the hair right after washing. 😘

[@NaomiMordi]

@@NaturallyHigh Would love to learn about that. Watching now. 😊

[@christine1962ful]

@@NaturallyHigh Goodness! IEvery time I think I get it, I'm even more confused! I really think you need to hold our hands a little bit more and do baby steps. You do different types of twists that I'm not sure what to start with. Frustrated...also, for us shorter hair girls, we can't just throw out hair into buns etc so even more frustrating. I need styles that if I have to go to a red carpet event etc my hair is presentable? I'm not bothered about work or just bring out and about as I can rock a trendy hat or heafwrap. Looking to invest in wigs but not really keen and don't want to depend on them. As for the Her Given Hair wig that you showcased, it's beautiful but too expensive for me @ $439-549. and I haven't even considered shipping and taxes when it arrives into the UK? The 'natural looking' wigs here arent that great either. Sorry if I'm coming across in a negative way but I'm just expressing my thoughts of what many shorter haired 4ç girls might be feeling. Especially when trying to find ways of retaining length. You really do inspire us but we need that extra love and support. I'm now even thinking of doing cornrows and following the rest of your advice as the frustration is making me flit back and forth as I just want to get started! 😉

[@BougieBettas]

Do you plait the root for the in between twists as well?

[@NaturallyHigh]

no

[@0ut1and3r]

Do you get knots in your hair and how do you manage them?

[@NaturallyHigh]

All the time. I manage them by learning to love and make jokes about my predicament. I loosen the knots very gently over an entertaining Netflix series or film. What about you?

[@0ut1and3r]

@@NaturallyHigh oh i meant single strand knots. I just cut them because i would need a microscope to untangle them 😭. I'm trying to figure out how to lessen them.

[@TaShar16]

At 2:05, is that plain old shea butter?

[@NaturallyHigh]

Nope - it's deep conditioner. I couldn't find a special one so it's Hair Mayonnaise from ORS.

[@tiyang44]

OK so im early. lol minus 5 minutes.

[@NaturallyHigh]

[@barbiesinparadise]

So, in between twists are basically washing your twists, moisturizing and sealing and then styling later???

[@NaturallyHigh]

Miranda Black kind of. They’re new twists I put my hair into just for washing. I used to re-twist twice: on e for washing and again as my new style.

[@barbiesinparadise]

Naturally High oh!!! I kinda get it now, thanks for clearing that up! Also, the lopsided bun is adorable 😂💖

[@lgfuad4lyf]

im confused. I have really wated to try this since the urban bush babes days, but how does your hair get clean with twists in? like how does all the product get out without matting?

[@sophiah4315]

Most people who wash their hair in twists squeeze in the products. So rub scalp with the shampoo and squeeze into strands in downward motion a couple of times. Then rinse. When you rinse it long enough it all comes out since the hair is twisted so loosely. I do my whole routine in twists before I style my hair. I detangle in the very beginning with a prepoo.

[@lgfuad4lyf]

Sophia H thanks for the advice, I tried it and it worked but not with my mini twists. that was my fault tho lol
