I went ahead and braided the hair from the root (quarter inch) and then proceed to twist. I braided from the root because it was much faster than twisting from the root. Be sure to check out my vid on youtube My hair was freshly washed I usedCreme of Nature leave in moistirizer- no oils It took me 8 hrs - with help for about 3 hrs I used about 6 packs- colors 1b, 2, 4 I'm 5' 5" Dipped in Boiling water  Let out Like, why not go super long?? :) Blessings J

This was sorta spur of the moment lol TIPS Be sure you're in the mood to do your hair Be patient & have at least 2 hrs to spear Have an extra mirror at hand Don't think too much about it, you can always tweak it when finished You CAN do it yourself :)  I used Do- Grow Medicated grease and a little gel  Right side Right side and back finished Left side finished The front in progress Front finished I twisted the remaining loose hair in the middle That's how the left side looked at first. After, I took 3 flat twist out and made single twists The back- hair down I pinned up the back a bit Friday- 3 days later, I took the twists out Of coursed it frizzed a bit. I added a little gel I talk about it in this video Hope you like this post! Blessings J

This is my go to protective style when all else fails; two strand twists! I came up with 3 very simple styles that you can do if your hair is in twists and you have to make a quick (or not so quick) run somewhere One: Flat twist both sides and pin where needed Two: Put twist in pony tail, tie scarf (optional) and tuck from twist under Three: Pull front twists in opposite direction (to give flare lol), put twists in pony tail and wrap scarf around Mac: 'Up the Amp' on lips Blessings J
