Your hair is not short

[@KlassicallyKept]

lol I know, for some reason I feel bald when I take out my freshly washed twists, the shrinkage is real

[@candicerachel5247]

@@KlassicallyKept hmmm. Not sure am okay with this your title is actually misleading. And it's not very pleasant to see somehow with super long hair call them short. Like, what are the real short haired girl supposed to say then ? Your shrinkage is litteraly still long. So please. Hair is a sensitive topic i don't really think people enjoy seeing someone who has more hair than they'll probably ever have call it short.

Thank you Nina. lol ma am ! I am sure your hair is beautiful. I know my hair is not short.

Hello Lauren! Thank you so much! I am so happy that my channel has helped you. I hope it continues to help you. The number one thing I tell people when I get asked how to maintain length is mini twists and keeping my ends tucked away, when I leave my hair alone it flourishes. Thanks for watching.

How are you not going viral right now 😍😍girl your twist look like passion twist 😍😍. My hair is almost the length of yours but I’ve been trying so many methods to make my twist look like passion twist and you helped me a lot with that. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@KlassicallyKept]

[@kylasbibi]

Short hair where?

[@Superlife1369]

Never thought about using color-coded clips - one color (purple) for all the major sections not being worked on and the other color (blue) for the working section…absolutely genius! I had just been using random clips and couldn’t always remember which clip was the working section and end up letting loose hair that was supposed to be bound and losing the section I wanted. This caused me to have to find the piece that I wanted and rebind all the other hair until I made that mistake again. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello super life! Lol thank you. The clear colors came in one pack and the solids in another. I just know I’m very forgetful and will definitely forget what section I was working on! Thank you so much for watching!

[@mattieslaughter5382]

I have just finished watching your video again. My last comment was 3 months ago which I was in the decision process of whether to go natural. I have decided to go natural. It has been over 40 years since I’ve seen my natural curl pattern. This is so new for me and a process since I’m use to the straight look. I’m being very patient. God is giving me day by day the ability to embrace me for whom he created. When we all begin to do this natural hair journey, we will see how beautiful we are as people and individuals. Our hair can grow long as well. I embrace my African American heritage. It’s time for us all to be thankful who we are as a race of people and stop trying to have our hair like other races. Thank you for your time in showing your hair videos, as well as the fashion styles.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you Mattie. I am so happy you have chosen to go natural. I wish you the best in your journey, it will not be without doubt and some type of struggle or learning curve. Once you get over the hump I hope you will find a routine that will help your hair flourish

[@deregudeta6187]

The style have ever loved

[@Listening4n0w]

Love your twist I know people think it's weave. I wear mini twist 98% of the time I LOOOOOOOOVE them, I blow dry my hair and use Shea butter to try and keep as much length for as long as possible. Of course they eventually shrink up but it looks amazing either way.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Im going to try this for the rest of the year. I’m trying to hit waist length in 3 years 😃. My hair grows very fast, Thank God. My hair is currently touching the top of my chest, I think i need about 4-5 inches. I have grown it using wash and goes only, but i have been noticing i need to trim more often, since it has grown out and now rubs on my clothing. I love the almond jai twisting cream so i will do this tonight! I’ll do a December trim and blow dry for my Bday. (December 1st) A twist out must look sooo good on you! ❤

I think all naturals go through that phase. Mine was okay, Im going to leave my hair in this bun forever, and then I had to cut off 5 inches. What helped me was getting on Pinterest for some inspiration, I found so many new hairstyle to try and inspire me, now of course they didn't come out like the video, but it got my creative hair juices flowing.

I’ve been doing mini twists for three years along with Marley twists and knotless braids. This year i only want to do Marley twists and mini twists, game changer for my 3c/4a hair. I do mine about the same size as urs but my hair is about bra strap length not waist length. I am going to try this “wash twist” method to dry and stretch my hair before installing my twists I’m interested to see how this helps this process. I do mine like once a month if my hair is well trimmed lol. I literally don’t touch my hair. Thank u!!!!

Do you twist on damp hair? Do you wash your hair between un twisting and retwisting? Do you seal the whole thing with oil at the end? Lastly, how many twists did you put in? Thank you.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello Erika! I twist on dry hair. I wash my hair every two weeks on Friday, let dry and then start twisting Saturday night and finish Sunday, sometimes I can finish in one day. Yes before washing my hair I take the twists out. To seal I use Camille Rose almond jai twisting butter. Sometimes I will put coco butter on the ends after I use the twisting butter. I have never counted how many twists I put in, I try to keep them all the same size and go section to section.

“Klassically” keeping “short hair” in the title to rage bait views and engagement because you know it wouldn’t have gotten as many views if you said “long hair” instead is insane. Really “classy.” Just weird all together. There was no reason to say “short hair” except to purposely mislead people for SEO purposes. Marketing is so clickybait-y and inauthentic these days… In no universe would your hair be considered short. Even without stretching it, it’s still medium length. Smh.
