Finally . I’ve watched 987,000 flat twist videos but now I can finally see the full motion. You separate the moves so well you see the pinch then grab motion. Thank you cuz I was about to give up 🙏🏽

[@laurieg5]

Seeing and hearing that (and the repetition) were SO helpful! At least I finally understand the mechanics of it instead of just hair flying around fingers!
