TWAID?! I Finally Tried It And...

[@Cbachus1]

It looks really good. Great Job! I actually do this all the time with my natural hair. I call it a Brist out. Lol, since you start with the braid and end with the twist, but awesome job. I love your content keep the videos coming. 🤗💕

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

To me “Brist” makes SOO much more sense. Imma steal that!

[@patriciacampbell7296]

I like that name a Brist out❤❤

[@victoriateniolalarunsi]

I didn't think that there was a name for it I just do it because its hard to braid the ends sometimes. Love the video x

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I didn’t either! One of you in the comments mentioned the name and I looked it up. Ya’ll are so helpful!

[@DH-uw3us]

I didn't realize it had a name either. I forget what KZbinr put me on to this, but I've been doing this for years. Not just for braid outs but just putting in braids in general because it makes it so much easier to unravel. I can't imagine going back to the old way lol.

[@Sunshine_Hime]

The hairstyle looks cute😍. I've tried it but with 3 strand twists, after braiding the root, because it gives more definition and elongation than the regular twists. I also get less frizz because I didn't manipulate the section to have 2 strand twists, and I find that I don't have to separate as much after taking down the 3 strands😊.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oooooo I like your method!! I’ve never done a 3 strand twist. I might learn how to because it sounds perfect for this method!

[@Sunshine_Hime]

@@LaToyaEbonyHair Yep, every since I tried 3 strand twists outs there's no turning back. It's a bit confusing at first because our hands are used to doing braids, but once I learned I loved them. I hope it works for you too😁.

[@donnathomas4960]

Three strand twist is just an old school plait.

🥰 You’re so sweet. Thank you!

[@JermaineAuNatural]

The twaidout came out so good! I am with you on saving time. Smart with the braid to the back. I am living for these brows😍

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oooo thank you Jermaine! ❤️❤️❤️

[@zinamckenzie5391]

Love this technique, my stylist did this for me when I went in for a trim. I have my hair in medium sized twaid’s going on 2 weeks and haven’t taken them loosened them😂🤣, it’s just been so simple. A bun. Half up half down, buns on the side. Will most likely let it flow… time for wash da🤣😂. Keep the ideas flowing. Love it. Thank for sharing.🙏🏽💐🌸💕

[@valenciawhitehead9589]

I love this video-the music; the way you finagle the LAST portions of product out of those bottles just like I do; and also your “inclination to separate” or maybe even compulsion to separate LOL! I also really appreciate your analysis at the end and “lookin’ too church” HILARIOUS!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you Valencia! ❤️

[@karmajames3275]

I have been doing this for a long time. I don't braid that far down though and make smaller 'twaids'. I like doing this because the roots are flatter and I like the look of the twist at the end. Also, I don't have to separate as much. Small perm rods on the ends makes everything look more even. You mentioned wanting to use them. Give it a try. Your hair cane out great!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you! Whenever I’m exploring a new technique for the first time, I get so much information. It’s great because I start to think about practical ways I can use it. For example, you talking about flatter roots - I agree! I’m more of a twist out person, but I love the idea of getting a flatter root if I need it.

[@ReigningGlory9083]

Girl ,you did excellent on your 1st attempt! I love twaid outs. It eliminates that puffy roots. If you have the desire to " remix" it try a bun where the middle part is it could make it worth the challenge. You could do a side part swoop too.

[@keritingaslialami]

Omg, that's what happened in my head too the other week, when i did a Twist-out- separe it or not separate it🤭🤫🤔..ended up having two ponytails, cause one section turned out good and the other side was frizzy, so did 2 ponytails instead😄🥰 your hair is gorgeous, I am acared of straighten it to trim, going to check your video to gime in an inspiration 😍 I am going to try open my twist tomorrow morning, and hope it turns okay. I also did like French braid on the front, I hope they won't too frizzy, when I open them tomorrow. You are so pretty🥰😍

[@MrsLegalDiva]

“I’m looking too church” you are too funny. I think Zoe looks awesome 💕👍🏾

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Hehe! I like my hair a little wild. This was very tame so I wasn’t used to it 😅

[@MichieKy]

Well dang....I've been doing this to my hair for years! I braid for stretch at the root then twist the rest of way because I like the curl from the twist at the end.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

From what I’m hearing it’s very common. Ya girl is late to the party haha

[@mica0408]

I agree. It's a winner with a few tweaks. I just wish you went ahead and separated, but still looks good.

[@JustJoia]

You should try doing a hanging bantu know next time you do a regular braid out. I haven’t tried this style yet either.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oooo hanging Bantu knot. I’ve never seen that before 🤔 The creativity is wild. Ya’ll be knowing’!

[@sable7114]

It looks very pretty and shiny even though you didn't use oil to separate

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you Sable ☺️

[@ExclusiveBarbie94]

Have a great week!!!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank youuuu! You too 😊

[@MsRouge2000]

I plan to try that style next weekend! Your hair looks great!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you! Good luck trying it out!

[@PreppyFay12]

I've been on a twist and hanging bantu knotted ends kick. lately. I'm not super into braids and I already feel like drying twists is more time than a wash n go so I don't want the extra extra dry time of drying a braid. I don't feel like it fits into my lifestyle. However, thank you for sharing.

[@1GoldenBreeze]

It came out very nice. It's brave to try a new style when you have to go somewhere important the next day. Props to you for that.💜 Although I don't know how to do them, it seems like a three-strand twist would work very well with this because you wouldn't have to split a section of the braid into two.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I agree! Someone else mentioned it earlier and it was a “duh” moment lol! I don’t know how to do them either, but maybe one day I’ll sit down and learn.

[@Ossouko]

Got to love the younginz and their rebranding of old techniques.😆

[@annyetta890]

🤩🥰🔥 Your internal debate that you're having with yourself out loud...yep, we've all been there 😂😂😂 Given how little density I have as compared to you, I know not to even bother trying this because I would look bald AF (like I have to *fluff* my hair to get close to the volume yours *condensed* to)😬 I would love to see how it looks on you with a side part! Watching you take down and style your hair wearing your rings made my anxiety act up lol. My hair gets caught on EVERYTHING!

[@ChinaJasmin]

That’s it. “Twaid” reminds me of Tweety bird. “I think I taw a puddy tat!” 😂

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m over here cracking up!

[@Ebizzill]

omg me too!!! " I twaw a putthy cat"

[@jeanninegorden8142]

I usually do I guess what is considered to be a reverse twaid out. I braid the last 1/3 of my hair instead of the 1st part. It's so thick in some areas (esp the front half of my hair) that I can't twist it to the end. I can't get a taut twist to the end, especially when I do flat twists, my go to style. So I braid it instead. Works for me. If I do a traditional twaid I still have to braid the ends.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Nice tip! I’m sure this will help some people looking for an alternative. This hair thing is so diverse and fascinating. ☺️

[@maryclarke4208]

Thanks for sharing. I recall do this awhile back. Hair rules mousse is really good. I'm not sure about the Melanin brand. I still use Jane Carter. Wrap & Roll. I need perm rods for my ends.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I’m hearing a lot about hanging Bantu knots 👀

[@nataliemukunduofficial]

Awesome, it turned out the way it's supposed to. Leave it like that 🙂

[@Ebizzill]

I do a three strand twists to accommodate the three strand braids I started with, so that I dont have to split anything

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

So smart!

Hi Ms.LaToya. Can you give an update on the surgery you had to help with sweating? I first heard about it from your channel and I am considering it but I wanted to wait to hear your thoughts now. Thank you!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oooo I haven’t given an update. That’s right! I’ll probably mention it in a future vlog but you can always DM me on Instagram and I can update you. ❤️

[@DH-uw3us]

I did a flat twaidout today. I prefer the smaller sections so I don't have to separate necessarily.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Good point!

[@consciouscrypto3090]

LaToya, have you ever tried the Eden Bodyworks products? Your hair is most like mine of all I've seen and I'm attracted to the ingredients, price, and reviews, but not wanting to waste money if you've already tried them and found them not to work for your hair.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Yes! I used to use the one that smells like mint or eucalyptus. It was years ago when I first began my journey. Back then I loved the products, but I’d have to try them again now that I have so much more to compare it to.

[@MrsLegalDiva]

Happy Mother’s Day 💕

[@cheshiredj]

I like the results, and if you have time tomorrow, you can separate to see if you like that too.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you! I literally want to have a krimped Afro by the end of the week. Lol

[@jewel3567]

Love it 😍

[@ChinaJasmin]

This is new to me. I interpreted Twaids as mini twist that are in big chunky braids. Looks like starter locs that are braided, but they’re actually twists that have been braided. 🤔 That low key may be a look. *hold on* I’m going to go over here and see something. 🤫

[@monicabranch7011]

Idk how these ends are going to turn out. I don’t see you coiling them with your fingers, you kind of get to the end and stop. My brain is like nooo twirl it. Lol. But I will see how it turns out. :)

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I think next time I’ll try perm rods ☺️

[@monicabranch7011]

@@LaToyaEbonyHair every time I do perm rods it creates too many different crinkles. So I just got on my coiling game. Try coiling the ends with your finger until it’s like juicy and you can tell it’s tight if you do like a mini refresh on the front. But your hair definitely looks better with the fresh cut. Very luscious.

[@MT-yx5cu]

@@monicabranch7011 I agree, twirling the ends helps especially if you use the right type of mousse. I learned this the hard way. Rodding the ends crinkles my ends as well. It never turns out well.

[@monicabranch7011]

@@MT-yx5cu I think it’s the too many bends and twists for my hair. It’s like look lady which way you want me to go. Lol. But when I twirl the ends and I get that juicy bounce coil I know everything thing will work out. Lol.
