Discovering the secret to a great twist out | 4C Natural Hair

Most of you may already know this, but this is my own discovery.
Doing a flat twist will create better definition and longer a lasting pattern. I'm still working on what products are best on my hair and which products will help retain moisture. I was happy with my results but my hair was a little bit dry and started to frizz.
This maybe because my hair was not freshly washed, it was 3 day old hair so I would recommend maybe doing this on freshly washed hair or try better products.

I know that this is nothing new but its the first time I tried a flat twist so its a new revelation to me. Yes I know I'm late, blah blah blah... just sharing my experience. lol

[@deez596]

okay this came out BEAUTIFUL!! and you said your first twist out but in your video you mention a regular twist out..whatchu mean?? lol ...i just subbed so i'll go back and watch your other vids for answers. oh btw what do u think of the sheamoisture coconut & hibiscus line? I use the curl enhancing smoothie AND curling gel souffle to set the flat twist, the souffle is not great by itself, very sticky. my style lasts for almost a week before re-twist

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

wow! I haven't tried the sheamoisture & hibiscus line yet. It may sound weird but I'm waiting for the hype to calm down lol. When I say regular two stand twist I mean the ones that are not cornrowed to your head, you know the ones that hang loose (am I making sense). Please correct me if they have different names. thank you for watching and for subbing. xx

[@deez596]

Love Layefa ooh got it ..I know what u mean.. well I could listen to u talk all day so... more videos please lol

[@BLISSSHAIR]

I love your hair!!!

[@mosimamokoena7569]

How long did it take to grow it that long

[@isabellamartinez5383]

girl your hair is beautiful, and I loved the blue contrast against your skin and hair, not to be creepy.

[@sailormood]

You have a seriously great voice haha

[@RondawritesNet]

Love this and love your voice/accent. I'm going to try this tonight, hopefully this is the one that works for my hair because I'm seriously tired of cyber stalking every natural hair twist out video! :)

[@leem2473]

your hair is insanely beautiful... I LLLLOVE IT.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

Lee M thank you

[@kcl060]

Very cute! Thanks for the video! For the dryness, try flax gel. You can just make it with 2 TB flax seeds and a cup of water and boil it until desired thickness. Just strain it out with cheese cloth and refrigerate it for 1-2 weeks. I use my flax gel just as a nightly moisturizer, and I make mine somewhat runny for this reason. Your hair looks great!

[@LashayneHampton]

This is the 1st tutorial Ive seen done at night....I LOVE IT!!!

[@peepla7]

Looks simply amazing! If really pressed for time...2 braids or twist down each side works too.

[@paigerocks6529]

Cool!!!😇

[@gemqueen1866]

I tried a flat two strand twist out this weekend before seeing this. Just randomly as I didn't think it would work, I only ever cornrow my hair in two for everyday or pony tail just to change it up. Well I must say I surprised myself, my curls were poppin', my hair black (yes there is some grey..lol) and glossy that I was complemented on it whilst out by a young man💞 Yes it takes a little time and I did get myself in a bit of a tangle as my hair is thick, though not as thick as yours which is gorg btw, that said it's nice to be able to explore other style options I only wish I could be more creative, but my you tube family keep me going so I will continue to watch all with a keen interest.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

gemqueen1 its great when you surprise yourself! nothing wrong with grey, I think it looks great with natural hair. Most days I don't get time to be creative with my hair, but I try every now and then. In my next video you'll see that. thanks for watching. xx

[@nancytalks5802]

[@jadedbreezy]

It's def worth the time and if u don't pull it out at the roots too much u can actually retwist at nite fairly easy!.

[@rayellwilhite5464]

right now I have a TWA. Did the big chop 2 months ago. I CAN'T WAIT till my hair grow out to do this. Beautiful and thank you for sharing!

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

Rayell Wilhite WOW! Enjoy your TWA while it lasts. Sometimes I miss having shorter hair because of its simplicity and manageability. I also love big hair hence why I haven't cut mine but thank you for watching.x

[@cmtb1231]

Very simple and easy,I like that! Thanks

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

Jearlean Jenkins I love flat twists. lol

[@Bizz2k]

Love Layefa gr8

[@IvyMosley]

I have 4C hair because I can barely get a comb through it and my shrinkage is 90% when I see hair like yours its so hard to believe your hair is 4C the texture is completely different from mine. So I'm convinced that if your hair is 4C then mine is 5E.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

The Ivy League of 4C lol. Oh I have shrinkage... check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqHOmJqDfKaFibM it's my wash and go experiment

[@AutumnFour]

I couldn't help but look up the song in the background! Thank you for the vid!

[@ShaneiceCrystal]

just subbed :)

[@prettyricky_03]

I know this probably really late but u are a life saver. I've been trying to get my 4c hair curlier because it has a more kinky affect. Again thank you. 😄

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

Ericka Varnedoe you're welcome. thank you for watching. xx

[@sexyblaquetb]

I came here for style ideas but I'm currently on your SoundCloud in love with this music...

[@Tmimages07]

[@1MetroEliteNaturalHair]

Nice, I just did some flat twist out in my hair today. I love to them, it such a faster method to do a twist out. I will post my video soon on my channel, to show my results.

[@mgillespie12]

Ok I'm sitting here now trying to do flat twists! It had been on my mind to try them and your video was confirmation that I need to take the flat twist plunge, lol.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

yes please do. let me know how it goes. x

[@mgillespie12]

I just finished them and they look a hot mess, lol. Can't wait to see my twist out tomorrow.

[@phamoalina]

Larger flat twist. Love it. 🙌🏾

[@berylnyamwange7893]

Your voice is awesome! So is the hair.

[@brendee84]

Thank you for sharing! I love that your fingers got a little stuck in your hair and that the flat twists were a little messy. Mine turn out the same way and I was getting a bit frustrated with myself because other vloggers I've viewed end up with such neat twists. I don't feel so bad now.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

brendee84 Im glad, please doth feel bad we're not all hairdressers. LOL

[@rc8534]

YOU HAVE SOME VERY SUPER DUPER THICK HAIR! I WILL HAVE TO TRY THIS TOO

[@Petitephysique]

Lol, ok thanks! I will try once I get to this length.

[@aliceofosu5650]

you look beautiful with your natural hair.

[@ValentinoQ]

Wow !! Your hair is gorgeous!! I just posted a video using a DEEP Conditioner as a styling product for a twist out. I loved the results, you might want to try it too!

[@polycitymom1]

I have gotta try this. My hair is thick and I had been using the smaller twists that I saw but for me this looks easier and less time. My only problem is that my hair is straighter and longer on the top front but I think this may work.

[@brittanyx8968]

Layefa darling! How many years of growth is that on your head? Beautiful.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

As of the recording of this video about 2 and a half years. X

[@colottac5510]

Beautiful 💖

[@latriceking8887]

I love your accent...your hair looks beautiful. :-)

[@TDScott16]

Camille Rose Almond Jhai Twisting Butter and Moisture Milk are great products for retaining moisture. And the leave no residue in my hair. As an added bonus, the twisting butter moisturizes my cuticles so it's great for my nails.

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

+Tonya D. Powell thanks I'll look into it. x

[@williamsj4852]

Very pretty! 😍
