My long Kinky Twists (pics)

[Lynnerie]

So I've been getting frustrated with my natural hair. Tired of wash n go's and just tired of having to deal with it daily. I had a few bags of hair for Kinky twists at home so I decided to give it a try. Initially I wanted them to be short so I started by cutting the hair in half then i discovered that my hair was actually too long to do this.

So some of my twists are short due to that first bag I divided in half but its my first time doing these so you live and learn. Let me know what yall think.

How do you keep it from stressing your hairline and thinning your edges?

Well, I understand that sometimes we need to give ourselves a hair break but I don't think the twists do you justice. They disguise how pretty you are. I think shorter would look better, but even then, I don't know.

Several months ago I did mini twists on my natural hair (no extensions) and they lasted a good 3 weeks, were convenient and I got tons of compliments. We have similar hair and I think you could probably do the same and look great. Anyway, enjoy your hair break...I really do understand.

I think they turned out great!

I didn't know you could get them that long.

Well, for me I think its important to not pull too tight along the edges. Don't make them too small and redo the edges after 2-3 weeks if you get build-up.

You did an excellent job. I have some bags of hair somewhere that I need to try on myself.

I love them! When I do mine this weekend, I'm going to make them longer and use Kanekalon for a "Senegalese" twist...great inspiration!

They look fabulous. You did a fantastic job. And you will be able to wear a lot of different styles by having them a longer length.

How long did it take you?

 

[thaidreams]

Very pretty!

They look great!

 

[Ijanei]

Great job, u look beautiful with them

 

[ebsalita]

Good job they look great - you should be pleased. I'm huge fan - been in twists for over a year, I find they're very versatile and not too harsh on my edges and can be washed regularly.

Thanks! They took 7.5 hours which isn't that bad I dont think.

I used the Bob Marley Pony Braiding Hair By: Vienna from Sally's. I was actually surprised how light the hair feels as opposed to kanekalon and it didn't tangle either.
