MINI BRAIDS VS MINI TWISTS

[@anialafrance7492]

I like the look of the mini braids better because I like the length BUT I like doing mini twists more because it is faster to do and it’s just easier

[@LavishlyBritt]

I definitely love the ease of mini twists

[@candypietravels]

I agree mini twist I can do in like an hour or 45 minutes depending on how I feel

[@Waterfallcreationsevents]

Yes.

[@Elledakween]

Ania LaFrance agreed girl braids take waaaaay too long to do.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

@@Elledakween the longevity makes it worth it. I can leave them in for a month or two with wash days but twisted last me 1.5 weeks max 😩

[@beholding3]

“Mini” braids for week one, then using the same parts to transition to mini twists so that they’re already stretched. Game-changing👌🏽

[@beholding3]

I should add that my braids tend to not be too small for the sake of repurposing them efficiently into twists the following week. Esp to allow for washing the braids before the transition!

[@aaliaj6298]

Heldana Tewodros oooh I like that idea!

[@dgyrlc1123]

Yeah but as soon as you put water in it (twist) its going to shrink up

[@beholding3]

Dgyrl C if you wash it with the braids, then apply the styler of your choice once it’s 75% dry, you can twist it w/out as much shrinkage

[@e.dandfamily673]

Thank you ♥️🤔

[@heyitz_nyia2880]

Braids because they don't unravel as quickily and it has more length ❤

Twist also sometimes tend to loc depending on how long of a period you leave them in

[@LavishlyBritt]

This is true

[@itznaz6854]

Lauryn Chandler i suggest every once a week (depending if you wanna keep your twists in for a long while) you retwist them so that way your hair is being manipulated and not in one place loc’d up

[@redrose14152]

Maintenance is key.. i kept mine in for 3 months.. washed them, deep conditioned them etc. Braid the root about an inch then rope twist the end. My hair retained soo much length it's amazing. I rather minitwists n i do so much with them, bun, pony tail, updo etc etc

[@noaddedsugar2930]

Team mini braids here! lol Im in love with my mini braids because on me, they look a little better. The twists get frizzy overnight even with a satin scarf and/or pillowcase because im a wild sleeper lol I just spread the installation time over 2-3 days so I dont go crazy since my hair is super thick and super long.

[@LavishlyBritt]

Dang! You must be really wild! 😂 . I definitely understand spreading the installation over a few days it makes it easier

[@bossladywesley228]

Use twisting gel to minimize the frizz.

[@ivymbugua1723]

I can't choose, so I'm just gonna start with braids at the roots and the transition to twists...

[@dgyrlc1123]

I always do my twist that way but it still doesn't change the shrinkage and frizziness that the twisted part cause

[@judywilliams6623]

I’m a twist girl. I love love the full look twist give. I embrace the frizz, it’s kinda cute. My blown out hair is almost waist length so curly hair length is no issue. Even when I had my short hair from my big chop I still did twist, gotta love your hair in all its glory, get that confidence sis and own it all 😘

[@BeLynn89]

This comment was 2 years ago but it inspires me sooooo much right now. I wanted to do mini twists on my twas but was scared of how it will look. I'm doing them on my crown!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@1cakesz]

What I do is wear mini (not really mini but not medium either) braids and wear them for 3 weeks then throughout the third week I wash my hair (before I would use dry shampoo foam), start taking each braid and detangle and turn it into a twist. By the 3rd or 4th day all my mini braids have turned into mini twists. I reapply gel on my ends and seal with an oil, trim where needed and wear the mini twists for another week and then take out for a twist out! So basically the best of both worlds :)

[@itsrashard]

Both take hella long if you have thick hair and a big head like me. 😂 But if I had to chose definitely TWISTS. Just cause twisting is easier than braiding.

[@LavishlyBritt]

😂 bless your heart ❤️

[@mrod87]

Wanting locs was a huge reason i started doing mini twists...and now i love doing mini twists MOST the time and still having the freedom to do braids and loose hair on occasion. If you never go all the way to locs, u still get them sometimes! Love ur videos!

[@mamat1213]

Density and texture matter! I have tween and teen daughters, with different textures. My type 3 girl needs mini braids because twists as you stated will look frizzy almost IMMEDIATELY after taking alllllll that time to install😭 any style will unravel or require constant retouching. My eldest is type 4 and she can do both with no issue! I braid or twist her hair and it looks neat for wks! So #teamboth and #binge because I need to catch up on those style, take down and wash vids!!!

[@LavishlyBritt]

You are so right. They definitely matter. Shoutout to mama bear for knowing and doing what is best for her daughters. ❤️

[@Chrysanthemum808]

I can confirm this having 3C type fine hair. That ish gets frizzy as soon as I’m done with the last section.🤣 It’s so annoying.

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

I don't really use typing system but I'm probably in the 4s, anyway, my braids are frizzy within days, my strands are fine, so I think your daughter's strands are coarse(thick) and that's why it stays neat for longer, I always envied people for having neat cornrows when I was younger, thought they used some kind of special gel. Mine wouldn't even look neat after walking out the salon.

[@faithwithrachael]

I wore the mini twist for 7 weeks refreshed after 4 weeks ! I think I will try the mini braids to see how I like it! Glad I found this video considering I will be doing my hair tonight 😂

[@mrs.rembert]

I really Love Both Of Them But Mini Braids Only Took Me 3 Hours And They Give Me ALL THE VIBES!❤️

[@nikkilove1782]

I love braiding the roots and twisting the rest to make sure the style lasts longer

Mini twists are my go to style.

[@LavishlyBritt]

I’m definitely adding them to my list. Debating if I’m going to do them this week.

[@jaeminlover3000]

I mean I got a combination of both in my head rn... i like the look of the braids but i got lazy and twists were faster 😭😭

[@LavishlyBritt]

Lol. I almost did this when I was doing my mini braids too

[@apinder53]

😂same. But I just braid the root and twist down when I get lazy

[@Chelsiepea]

Before my big chop I loved mini twists but I “discovered” mini braids and I loved them even more!I completely agree with you! Elongated hair , easy wash and go, and very versatile. The main thing is i would spend hours doing it and even more so taking them out. But I did notice I got faster at it. Can’t wait until my hair grows back so I could do mini braids again.

[@LavishlyBritt]

Yeah I have this weird love hate relationship with the mini braids. I wasn’t expecting to like them at all but ended up liking them but just not more than the mini twists

🤩🥰 I’m waiting to find out how much imma like the mini twists it took me like almost 7 hrs to do my mini braids to my hair and my hair is a little bit longer and they were kinda on the small side as well. I thought I was gonna look like a young boy with the braids in but once I put them accessories in bayybee they were good compliments errwhere

[@LavishlyBritt]

😂 lol. I love your energy but slay on sis. I was the same way. Like watcha out now 😂😂

[@najma2613]

Sad Africa American believe braids ate a masculine style. They were wrn by women. Specifically mini braids/box braids which we were introduced to by eastern Africans (we origanlly called them Egyptian braids in the 70s) and are a female only hairstyle. Because some racist music corps hired black me to wear ad masculinate our hairstyles is meaningless. Who cares if bow wow and such wear braids? They look gay. We don't look like his when we braid up minus beads and jewels. We look like women😊

[@valencia23ish]

Mini twists are easier to take down for me. I like them both but haven't done mini braids in a long time.

[@valencia23ish]

I think I'm more likely to take the plunge and do the mini braids. Even if it's just one time for the one time. I wear mini twists all the time.

I think you should try mini braids at least once. You might actually fall in love with it. Never know unless you try

[@JoAnnaTheSoulStringerJohnson]

I totally agree with all your pros and cons. For me mini anything is gonna HAVE to be twist. My hair is 4C super kinky super thick, super coarse and waist length. I ain't doing no micro braids and doing the take down. No no no no NO!!!🙅LOL The twist are so much easier for me and I don't mind the shrinkage to mid back. Plus I'm always very self conscious of the micro tears that braids do that you can't see with the naked eye. When they're that small I'm always worried about damage. It took me until I got in my 40's to get my hair this long and I don't wanna do anything to ruin it beyond me cutting it by choice. Love ya!!!! 💜

Thank you for making this video, it was 👏🏾right 👏🏾on 👏🏾time!! I’ve been going back and forth on what I want to do with my hair and dreading holding my arms up cause I’m pregnant and it makes me short of breath. I love both styles but I hate how thin my hair looks afterwards. The best solution is to do both: braiding the roots and twisting the rest. 1. You still get the new and fresh look at the scalp for a longer period of time. 2. Your take down time is still shorter. 3. No “scalpy” or thin look because the twists cover up your scalp. Indigenous strandz keeps her twists in almost permanently and has some good tips for long term maintenance. Threading is also an option for keeping them stretched and less frizzy.

[@LuckeyClover]

Mini twists all the way, their easy to make and love the full and thick look it gives to my hair (I dont like when people see my scalp) and honestly I dont mind spending an hour every week to tuch up a few twists here and there, and when you use the right products they look super shinny and juicy💦. Plus I got a ton of compliments that there was so much shrinkage going on and my shoulder long twists stretched to bellow bra strap length 😋,

[@jasmine77746]

I prefer mini twist. Again like you said because of the volume, I love how it makes my hair look fuller. as far as shrinkage goes I tend to hold the ends of my hair taunt and I concentrate the heat with my blow dryer at the routes to mid-shaft to give my hair a little bit of a longer look. but I love wearing mini twists especially on humid days or when it's raining or when I just need something quick that's going to last a while.

hey @LavishlyBritt! I lobe your videos btw. Your hair texture is very very close to mine and I enjoy the tips you give. I do mini braids in the summer and keep them in for a good two months. They last a very long time. During the cold months though I do mini twists. Shrinkage is real, but to stretch them I just sleep with my hair in a loose bun.

[@thegirlgamer8518]

Mini braids. They make my hair longer and don't shrink as much compared to mini twists which I love. Also, I can wash my hair when in mini braids and it's easier to handle but my mini twists always come undone by the end of the wash day. Mini twists do give a lovely curl pattern when taken out and they are easier to commit whereas braids take hours to do and additional hours to take out. Worth it though😆

Interesting

[@RakelDaNell]

My hair is an awkward mix of what makes both of them a bad idea... it's too thin and fine for mini braids, but too coily for mini twists (I wouldn't be able to wash them or swim, they'd slip apart) But I work outside, sweat a lot, have to wear hats and head gear, and generally do not like doing anything to my hair besides two french braids (which don't last). But I really need to do something to just give me more time to not think about my hair so much and mini braids my be it, scalpy and all on this massive dome (people think I have thick hair, and really I just have a big head lol).
