The fact that you stood the entire time while doing these twists is crazzyyyyy😭🔥

[@Jchev973]

Right 😂 standing the entire time is wild but it came out bomb!! 🔥

[@shaniaa7477]

It low key is comfortable but of course your back gets a little tired. That’s how I do my hair most of the time.

@@shaniaa7477girl literally 5 mins standing and my back hurts from doing mini twist 😂, I literally debated for a hour if I wanted to do mini twist or straighten my hair and I went with straightening it since that took less time haha

[@cakedecor8]

Is it difficult to untwist and comb out?

[@kekeliw5348]

@@cakedecor8it’s not too difficult. It’s just time consuming because you don’t want to rip your hair out.

[@zchats26]

For people scared that their hair will loc up: don’t use a gel, try not to create too much friction in your hair (while sleeping, washing, etc). And every so often, take a rat tail comb and poke through the twists that seem very frizzy to undo any intermingling of hair - XO, a loctician lol

[@WizaGaming]

are you able to wash these? because i remember last time i did it my hair was hard to detangle taking them out

[@zchats26]

@@WizaGaming you can, but as I said, don’t scrub them too much or you’re going to create loose/free hair that can then tangle

[@Avi.joyyy12]

Mini twist for hair growth is the TRUTH!!!! I been natural for so long but my hair never went past my shoulders. After four months of wearing mini twists my hair is past my collarbone. The key is being consistent in the maintenance of mini twists!!! I keep my twist in for a month but every for every 2 weeks I keep my twists in and only shampoo the scalp and let the shampoo run down my hair length. I deep conditioner and dry the twists till damp and then I undo a twist and finger detangle the whole length then use sweet almond oil or hair butter and retwist the hair. The routine keeps my hair looking fresh and moisturized. If I find my hair to be dry during the week before wash day I just spray my hair with warm water + sweet almond mixture. This routine works with mini braids but it’s alot more time consuming with mini braid compared to mini twists.

[@IsimemeEdeko]

Ayyyeee🔥🔥sounds like a dope routine! I barely did any refreshing or maintenance upkeep this first time around on some lazy natural energy lol BUT I will definitely keep this in mind for next time👌🏾 Congrats on your healthy hair growth journey btw😉

love that for youuuu!!!!!!!

[@skyyjohnson6460]

I always start my mini twist with a braid . It definitely makes the take down process longer but it lasts longer and lays flatter/neater. Love your videos

[@IsimemeEdeko]

I thought about doing that at first but i watched a girl’s takedown video of that and it was ROUGH😰 + I LOVED how full it looked the older it got for me personally… wasn’t as “neat” but looked super natural🔥🔥 & thanks btw sis❤️‍🔥

[@debbieora5587]

I do the same cause my hair starts to frizz out on the first day and by the end of the week it is so bad to look at, mine last 3 weeks max cause am not a fan of gel and i do different sizes.

[@taneshia1583]

I started out doing 2 strand twists and keeping them in for months (even washing my hair in the twists, taking them down, and retwisting them) and now I’ve been locked for 4 years 😅 it was/ is the best protective style but it could lead to locs 😂

I did my first set of mini twists february of last year and I'm never going back to anything else!!!! This type of low maintenance was a game changer for me!!! I do them just like you, on streched hair, small and neat sections. The only different thing is that I start off by braiding the roots, then I twist. I really love how they came out on you! It suits you very well.

This style is super cute. I feel like my hair shrinks too much to do this without adding some hair. I did this style last year but slightly bigger. I dont like all the extra baby hair out but that part is just preference. Your hair is beautiful goals

[@luishanejones7016]

My hair shrinks a lot but I embrace it what I do over night though is use scrunchies to stretch it so the next day it’s not that much shrinkage

[@AdoseofAlana_]

@@luishanejones7016 I've tried tocembrace it but chile my head is just too big 😭😭 so when I added a piece of hair and did it to the length that my hair is when it's stretched which is a little past my shoulders, it only shrunk up to my shoulders and I loved it. And I didn't have to retwist it very often at all.

[@ValenciaRose.]

I agree, the twists are cute, the adult hairs with the edges looks ridiculous, especially bc her forehead is already small. Regular sized edges would look nice though. And short twists are just as cute as longer ones. I think the shorter ones look better smaller though

I was excited when you decided to go smaller because that's so me lol. mini twists have been a staple hairstyle for me probably since 2020, and every time i've done them and decided to go smaller (which is basically every time lol, those first couple twists don't stand a chance they're ALWAYS too big) i never regret it! I agree they just look so much fuller somehow when they're smaller, and I feel like they're more versatile too! when I do my mini twists it honestly scratches the same itch for me as having a silk press. i love my floofy fro but the maintenance can be brutal on my ends lol.

[@melodiouslowtalker]

Looking gorgeous rocking those twist ❤

[@BeingJordean]

I love this style. I braid my roots to make it last longer and in 2021 i did micro ones and let them loc for 14 months. Combed them out and just redid it again lol. I probably wont let them loc again but I definitely will continue to do the style every couple months

[@neltakimsley540]

Watching this with my month old mini twists in I have hair around as long as yours Been doing this for over 5 years after my hair grew out from my tapered cut(big chop) Each time it gets longer I say I won’t do this anymore because it takes time the longer/thicker the hair gets + I have 2 kids under 2 so…. But then I see someone in person or on the internet with it and I remember the beauty and convenience of the style and I do it again 😅 I personally freestyle part with my fingers and only use a serum all over my hair to avoid reverting my hair And I keep mines like 1 month to 1 month /2 cause the roots starts to lock🤦🏾‍♀️ It looks great on you🤩

[@sakhofatimata4128]

❤❤❤ love it i used to do it but without all the preping i'll definitely try streching my hair first

Also this other usage i saw on my container of African Shea butter, but didnt see on yours is "prevention from windburn" as well. Girl the way I never read these usages until recently & was blown away, African shea butter is that gurlll ✨✨💓

[@user-zk5tq2hl4h]

I've loved wearing mini twist since my sister first did them for me when I was in middle school (I do my own now). I'm now a junior and mini twist are still my favorite go to hairstyle😁. One thing that really helped me to maintain them for a longer span of time is braiding the root of the twist then twisting the rest. This way the chances of the twist entirely untwisting is less likely and they'll probably only unravel slightly at the ends.

[@Acyuta-Priya]

Looks super cute! In my experience, less product allows them to last longer, attract less lint, and keep scalp cleaner so can go longer before a wash.

[@BlaqueRainbow]

I would have been crying real tears on camera sitting on the sofa after 2 hrs and you G’d through 7 like nothing 💪. I have thick hair and although it’s short, it still took about 2 hours to do regular sized twists that lasted about 2 weeks before I took them out. I’m in the process of growing it back out. Taking hours to twist my hair is what kept me buzzing it down to the scalp. I’ll keep braids in also, but I kinda suck at braiding (they’re always too loose and end up coming loose before I finish. maybe I’m doing them too big). Anywho, thanks for the inspiration. I checked out your vid on the heated brush since I was looking for one on Amazon and ended up here.
