[@nice.bernadette]

The definition when you took down the yarn, your hair is so nice 👍 keep it up

[@thandikamangat.k4757]

Finally got the technique! So we’re suppose to twist them in opposite directions 🙈 I always thought it was one direction 😂

[@Drthompsononthemic]

thandi kamanga the same thing happened to me when I was learning! I’m glad you figured it out! Thank you for watching, love!

[@yellahella7116]

[@elizabethvincent8095]

Seriously gorgeous hair! 💜

[@W2MyLife]

So glad I found your tutorial! Hunny!!!!! I am in the boonies and my hair is breaking because I can't do a protective style at my length. But you just saved that. I had some yarn lying around and tried this. It worked Perfectly! Heading to the store now to grab the colors I want!

[@zikhonapondo3418]

You are so pretty!!! Your hair looks lovely!

[@Drthompsononthemic]

Thank you so much!

[@shantel4676]

Beautiful! I am inspired! I’ve hesitated to do twists with my hair as they can be thin, but the addition of the yarn is so beautiful. You look so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! 💖

[@Drthompsononthemic]

[@Drthompsononthemic]

Symea Solomon Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a sweet comment! I’m glad it was helpful! I appreciate you 😘

[@shakes_]

Love this. The explanations are clear, and it was at a great pace. I do want to say that there was emphasis on twisting each piece in the opposite direction to incorporate the hair but you actually twisted them in the same direction and then proceed to twist using the opposite direction. Just clarifying!

[@NaturalMelB]

That color is Amazing on you. Love it 😍

[@youopened_mandorasbox]

“3 raggedy parts” lol you’re hilarious. I’m going to be trying this style this week

[@sue8347]

Olivia Leoria Heyyy how long did u keep urs in its my first time doing them great video

[@grbbyleo9964]

This video is like over a year old but I still want to thank you for making it! I’ve wanted to try yarn as a way to add color back in my hair. I had all blue hair but all the bleach just ruined my curls. I’m really excited to try this! Even if it’s just for a little pop of color underneath

[@bibble4135]

This is so cool!

[@katzmeow4]

Great tutorial! I've been wanting to try yarn twists, but it's waaaay too hot out for me to wear them right now, so I'm just going to wait until the fall.

[@Drthompsononthemic]

Thank you for watching! When you try them, let me know if you have any other questions!

[@jyamor]

Great tutorial! Your explanations are very clear. I'll give it a try anytime soon. One question though: how do you wash your hair? Does shampoo damage the braids a lot? Cheers from Paris!

[@Drthompsononthemic]

jyamor thank you for watching! I never wash my hair with the yarn in it. I cut out the yarn (like I show in the video) and then wash only my hair

[@jessicarabbit7629]

So pretty, that colour suits you, and made this look easy. How many hours does it take in total?

[@beyoudee687]

Ps you have beautiful hair!!! Im alittle nervous b.c. i have very long hair, i have grown it since i was like 10 (30 now) ...i dont want the locs to be too too long cause like you said it will be heavy, also will be cool to wear shorter hair...any suggestions?

[@gabrielaharada1852]

I'm almost ready to try this on my daughter and I'm so excited but also nervous!! Thanks so much for this tutorial. It's the best one I've found by far! I thought of some questions. How long do you keep the yarn in? (just noticed below you said 4-6 weeks. My friend said she left them in for 4 months lol. What happens toward the end of the 4-6 weeks?) Also, I heard you say that you blow dried your hair and I've never done this on my 5 1/2 year old. Does this straighten the hair some to make it easier to work with? Any tips or specifics on how to blow dry the hair? My daughter has a really high volume of hair. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@@Drthompsononthemic ohh, alright thanks :)

[@tazberry4110]

Is this the same method for doing twist with braiding hair?

[@uzomamaledo8698]

Kindly list out the hair products you used to keep your hair moisturised, i cannot see or hear their names clearly. Can Cantu products also work fir it?

[@Whistlesonthewind]

How do you get the twist to stop unraveling on it’s own? Thank you.

[@empress_876]

Nice job!?How can I rech u/can u do my hair?

[@Tunenine]

I do not understand in 2023 that people ask how to do something with KZbin, I don't get it. I haven't seen a hair salon in 8yrs which saved me a lot of coins, btw, your hair looks beautiful I'm on the color too.

[@MonicaLaudat]

Nice vid. Do you turn and twist the yarn or just twist?

[@Drthompsononthemic]

ButterPecanLaudat at the root where I attach the yarn, I sorta turn and twist the first 5-7 times just to make sure the yarn it’s locked onto my hair. As I continue on town the twist, I’m just doing twisting. Good question!

[@Nya0525]

[@omggiiirl2077]

But can we take a sec to acknowledge you radiant beauty!? You're features are perfect, regal, and worthy to be immortalized in art! And your smile could end wars!!! I just love seeing my Beautiful sisters killing the game!! #webeenwinningtheyjustnowrealizingithaaaay

[@cdropable]

Beautiful! One question: Are yarn twist heavier that synthetic hair?

[@Drthompsononthemic]

cdropable Thank you! To be honest, I’ve never done this style with synthetic hair so I don’t actually know the answer to that question. I would assume that synthetic hair would be heavier since it would require more hair to get the amount of fullness that yarn naturally has. I hope this helps!

[@Adepah272]

Please how many yarn did you used for your hair??

[@uniquelymubarakat6149]

how many strands of yarn did you use for each twist, pls?

[@marcellepepe]

thanks a lot for this clear tutorial ! How long you can keep them before they go "bad" ? 1 month ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@Drthompsononthemic]

marcelle pépé you’re right! About 4-6 weeks. I talk a little more about it in my maintenance video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnW6c2egbs6Ym7s

[@Drthompsononthemic]

marcelle pépé and thank you so much for watching!!!!

[@dorcastweneboah8880]

Is it heavy? Wanna try it but can't risk my neck

[@oluchi_theresa]

Please I'm trying to make mine and I was wandering Did you use the same length measurement for all your yarn? Please reply

[@Drthompsononthemic]

Yes, I use a suitcase to help me measure the strands so they’re close to the same length. You’ll be trimming off the excess at the ends of each twists... so it’s not necessary to have them all exactly straight in the beginning.

[@anyaj80]

Love this style.....How long did this take

[@Drthompsononthemic]

anyaj80 Thank you! I’d say about 9-10 hours. It depends on how large I make my parts!
