Impromtu Protective Style : Chunky Kinky Twists

Chuky Kinky Twists

It was night time, and the plan was to retwist my hair using Beautè Organics Styling Butter. But, that did not go as plan. Yesterday, I did some crotchet braids and cornrows on my friend's hair. I'm practicing my skill at crotchet braiding. I fell in love with the extension hair she got. It was so soft and light.

So... I decided to install chunky kinky twists. It took me about 2 hours to complete the twist and the fishtail braid.

I used the invisible parting method to install the twists. Click here to watch.

I used 2 and a half bags of "Dios Fine fiber Mali Twist Braid". I used 2 colors F1B/30 and 1.

I alternated between the two different color to give it a different look.
 
 
One reason why I do not wear extensions a lot is because my scalp is quite tender and I find that the styles pull too much on the edges and scalp. For this style, I did not make the roots tight.
 
My plan is to wear this style for at least 2 weeks and at most 4 weeks.

    Wow, 2 hours not bad at all! I've seen the invisible parting method and that's what I would do! I don't know how to install braids or twists but that method seems pretty easy! I had kinky twists for the 1st time and only in 2006, I believe it was my 2nd time having extensions(Sola I had a braided extension nightmare a few years before that, lol) and I agree they do pull on your edges! I'm not tender headed but I am hesitant about extensions because of the whole edge pulling but like I was saying earlier if I was gonna do it, I'd use this method, it's seems a lot safer on our edges. Great post and fabulous twists, thanks for sharing!

      Thanks. The method I used is very kind to your edges and the roots to each of the twists is VERY loose, almost like loss twists.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
