For the past year and a half my protective style has been two strand twists and headwraps and my hair has grown so much and is so full and dense! I've saved my edges, hair and pocket doing this. I go to my local markets and buy loads of different coloured/ patterned scarves for super cheap. Wayyy cheaper than buying hair extensions and paying someone to install the style every couple of months. Similar to wigs I can just whip it off at the end of the day and tend to my hair. Plus my whole look/ aesthetic has changed and I'm way more confident with my appearance. I don't feel the need to have the coiliest twist out or fluffiest braid out to feel confident. I take comfort in knowing that my hair is moisturized and protected without compromising my self image. Nubian queening it 2k19💁✌

Yasssss sis! That makes me sooo happy hearing that! We must take back our queendom!!!!

[@DD-po2hh]

This reminds me of an elderly lady who had long hair. I never knew it until one of her braids was showing out of her scarf. All she did was braid her own hair and wear a regular scarf over it. She didn't even use what we call headwrap.. just a plain ole scarf. I never saw her without a scarf on.

[@Allahaziah1]

I wonder why? ☺️🤎

[@j2d532]

I’ve been covering my chunky twist using head wraps for 3 months straight now. I’ve also been consistent with washing & retwisting every week for the past 6 months. My hair is growing like a weed. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful hair care regime.

Yes that was what I was called when I wore what I call a partial head wrap. I had a scarf with fringes and I wrapped it around and around my head to form a wide headband leaving a little bit of a puffball or here out in the center Crown area. Got the Erykah Badu comment at work but got really nice comments out and about at the grocery store and as I ran my errands after work. Even from a guy.

[@sunnyedaize1262]

Why not try it with just the end papers (or gift tissue, or fabric strips) like old school paper bag curls? It would be so much lighter, less bulky, and you'd still get the protection and curls at the end.

That routine sounds like you’re on your way to waist length. I have long hair and I tell people all the time there is not magical product. Low manipulation is the key. As long as you’re keeping your hair moisturized and your scalp clean, you don’t have to do anything to it.

[@kiwij7705]

Love the shimmies 😂 when I first went natural (1 year and a half ago) a few months in I decided that my #1 style would be to tuck my hair under a head wrap/scarf , I wore this style in a low bun (covered w/ scarf) for a year. It was convenient af, my bosses didn’t care and it kept nosy people out of my hair 😂 My hair grew so much in that year ! A little Over 6” (currently waist length). My hair underneath were in Felicia braids 😂 I kept it clean and conditioned , even tried chebe. Anyways now that I’ve been wearing my hair out more often my growth has been slower (probably breakage)so I returned back to my low bun turban . You and another KZbinr talked about using rollers for your ends, only she does it just over night (but still has seen growth). I recently incorporated this method using satin rollers and my scarf style. I think you both are on to something . Especially with what you said about your hair being entrapped in heat and having tucked ends. During my weave phase I got a lot of hair growth despite not taking care of my natural hair and I attest it to those same reasons.

[@sable7114]

As you know, black women traditionally what wear hats to church and not necessarily because of their religious belief but it's just how we dress. So I somehow think that people, particularly the black people who mess with me, think that any kind of head covering is inappropriate for work and should be reserved for church or used only if your religion calls for it on a daily basis. To me it's the same as a Caucasian person wearing a hair ornament or something of that nature. Ornaments or a way of dressing up your hair or your head and that's how I see the head covers. Then you put on some bad earrings that sets it off just perfectly!

[@desereeokunzuwa6037]

This reminds me when I was young my mom used to braid my hair for 2 weeks at a time and wrap the last 2 inches or so in barrettes or beads, I never had a problem with my ends back then. I'ma try this

From South Africa and I have been wearing headscarfs religiously. I'm also a lazy natural and I'm pretty good at headwrapping so it works well for me-stretched my hair is almost passed my shoulder blades. So I cleanse, moisterise, twists/braid and only when I go out I do a a formal headwear, during the normal day at home (i worked from home) I wear a satin or thin scarf around my hair. Tip: never make the scarf too tight - depending on the style you wrap-it may pull your hair

I’m sorry if you spoke on this already but do you ever do protein treatments? If not, what do you think has contributed to retaining the strength of your strands? I’ve always assumed that over time the ends get withered and thin the older it is. Resulting in split ends and sometimes excessive amounts of fairy knots.

[@cringybird755]

gorgeous. How do you do this for shorter hair. Would I tye it is the back. And where are you From? Also... Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 (NIV ) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. John 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 10:9 (NIV) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We are all evil and put ourselves first alot of the time. We have all contributed to the sadness in this world. We make up our own morals instead of looking to the one who made us for them. We even sometimes get so angry at people that some of us are mud*r*rs in our minds. Evil is evil and desevers to be punished. We can call ourselves good but we are only good compared to others but compared to God we are all guilty of a number of offences. Think about all the evil we have done in our lives. Just because you have done some good or tried to change you ways, you still need to be punished for your wrongs. You can't bribe the judge with your good deeds. Without jesus changing us we would ruin heaven if we got in because it is for perfectly loving people who love and appreciate the one who gave them a chance to exist and serve him and others. The reason God wants all glory to him is because when we focus on good things we change and become more like them, and God is perfectly good. With God I have developed amazing self control and other things such as that. Jesus loves you ❤️ he wants you to turn to him. When you are saved, when you sin jesus doesn't send you to hell , he will be waiting for you to repent of those sins and try to live a better life and he will disapline you. You are sent to hell by rejecting the gospel and hell is not a fun place like the culture makes it seem. You won't be hanging out will your best friend you will be alone and suffering.Hell is everlasting fire. Even after a billion years in hell you won't be any closer to relief. I don't wan't you to go there. Jesus doesn't hate you. He loves you. You are Gods child.If you really don't believe ask God to make you believe but you have to be extremely willing to except him as Lord over your life and savoir of your life and be patient.God bless you. (im not forcing you, you decide what you will do with this information. Any questions ask me.). ❤️❤️❤️💗💓💕

[@blessedby5]

I wore my hair in twists for months last year, and I've been wearing my hair covered for spiritual reasons pretty much every day for 2 years now. Maybe its the fabric of the covers (linen or cotton mostly), but i didn't see any progress in growth, i wore my twists in a small bun (my hair is fine and short anyway), and I mostly did a bun style wrap. or maybe its just my lack of a moisturizing routine...either way, i stopped doing twists because i caught myself retwisting all the time and tearing out more hair that way. I tried plaits and bigger twists, even just plain old buns.

[@amandathomas-chughtai6017]

Covered my hair for a similar reason and I saw growth maybe my method might be something for you to consider... Before wrapping my hair was just past my shoulders but not quite armpit length. My hair is now bra strap length. - I do not wear my hair in buns all the time to reduce the stress that, thay style can cause. I also make sure I keep my hair moisturized and I do not wrap my hair too tight. - I twist my hair into 8 sections - I wrap my hair with a satin scarf without putting it into a clip... so I tilt my head forward and take the twists on the right side and gently place and pat them on the left side and vice versa. Then I quickly wrap my hair while my head is tilted so it doesn't fall out of place lol. - With my head still tilted I place a "Volumizing Scrunchie" on top Normally placed at the back to mimic low bun -Cover it with a satin wig cap to keep it all in place - And thennnnn I use a head wrap usually black cotton material but I'll use a colorful one from time to time. May sound like work but it takes no more than 5 min. All the best with whatever you decide is best for you 😊 *For anyone else reading this I am tatted and I work for the govt. It's definitely possible in some states and countries to be covered and not discriminated against.

@@amandathomas-chughtai6017 Sounds doable, I think the trick is probably the satin scarves you use under the actual wrap. And the moisture! I'm REALLY SUPER BAD at sticking to a moisturizing routine. I've been natural for 8 years, and my hair has stayed the same short length or even gotten shorter in that amount of time. The only time I saw growth was during pregnancy, but it quickly went away after. I love @IndigenousStrandz because her products are really affordable and her routine seems simple enough, but it still takes a lot of dedication and its too much for me, i love seeing someone else succeed at long healthy hair.

Use silk!! Not even satin, 100% pure quality silk. You will never regret it!

[@yasha36]

Try switching up tour routine! Sometimes the hair needs something new ^^ like a different oil or dc.

[@Wachera]

You are so pretty!❤️ currently I’m at bra strap length and I’m looking to grow out my hair. Thanks for this, I will totally incooperate more satin scarfs and the two strand twists.

aloe gel works nicely for edges

[@Bii_ba]

OMG there I was thinking I was crazy for doing twist all the time I love it cause it gives me access to my hair and scalp thanks sweetheart

[@williamsj4852]

Love the headwrap. That is a good idea with the permrods. Do you eat healthy also for hair health. Fruits, veggies, protein, and lots of water.

[@everythingmckate9905]

I have noticed a difference by eating all those things and drinking water. Staying ahead of the dryness.

I just have to watch this video everyday 😍

[@sweetsperfection860]

Thanks for sharing and thank God I Don't want or need 40 in of hair. Lol

[@17yogabbagabba]

How long do you usually keep each set of twists in? Like how far apart are your wash days? Do you ever retwist your whole head without washing first?

[@wapaa26]

Definitely watch her earlier videos. I luv em. I believe sometimes she does a section at a time for her retwists every so often (it's a lot of hair so don't blame her). Plus if I remember correctly she washes her hair every 3 weeks to a month, or really whenever she feels the need to. Everybody's different, so above all else listen to what your hair wants and needs.

[@17yogabbagabba]

@@wapaa26 Okay thanks.

[@vegassmiles]

where did you get the bonnet?

[@Mckduchess2013]

This head wrap regimen would be perfect for the winter

[@willojam5787]

My eyes and ears are grateful we ran across your channel!

[@lindacoleman4657]

How much does that weigh?

[@IndigenousStrandz11]

Around 45 pounds not including my head lol... No it's only heavy if i try to star gaze lol then i fall back.. Thats why i said its better to have chuckier twist with less rods maybe like 10 -15 or even 20 is good

[@msoyinda.a6798]

Hello... Did you get any damage or thinning to your edges when using Two-strand twists or wearing headwraps long-term?

[@0rignallity601]

Instead of perm rods can I use hair beads? also where did you get your head wrap from? Link?

[@Goddessofmelodies]

What if you hair is short? Can I still do it? My hair is thinner in the front. I wear wigs but I have this urge to wear wraps.

[@tavi5841]

I did this today I did twist then wrapped my ends in a thin flexi rod and put a saying scarf on with a wig cap to lay flat it then I put another head wrap on 😊😊foing this for 6 months

[@JWALKERS]

Can you use beads instead of rollers?❤❤

[@themakingsofmahogany1201]

Love your hair! Who’s veve is that tattooed on your arm? Is that Legba’s?

[@apriljohnson7447]

You got crooooooooop!!! Beautiful

[@JonesyFit]

I think this may be good for locs too - minus the perm rods of course. Thanks for the idea!

[@dandeelion]

It is. I have locs and while I don't wear them eeeeeeeeveryday..I do wear often in pineapple method and have witnessed hair growth/length retention! Love it!

[@SimplyMee..228]

What about silk rollers I would think it won't be as heavy. Might be a bit more of an investment.
