Kinky twist wearers expecially DIYers which is better

[GodsPromises]

which do you prefer:

1. Starting twist with a twist or

2. Starting with a braid.

Which is easier and faster do do and which is better for your hair.

I plan on doing my next set myself and I have been practicing with the set someone else did both way so that when I do my whole head I will be quicker and faster.

In the Poll the second option should be starting with a braid. I don't know how to edit a poll or if we can edit a poll

The options for the poll both say starting with a twist.

 

[GodsPromises]

Thanks that's what I get when my fingers and brain doesn't work together. Can you edit a poll?

I like it better whn you start with a braid. It allows less slippage to me.

 

[GodsPromises]

Thanks that is what I am thinking also.

I like it better whn you start with a braid. It allows less slippage to me.

I agree. I prefer to start with a braid so the twist is more secure which means I have to re-twist/fuss with it less.

 

[NappyMD]

I only know how to do it tight with a braid

 

[DarkandLovely]

I tried both and I preferred to start w/ a braid b/c for me it was easier, quicker, and less slippage.

I've tried both and I definitely prefer starting with a braid. It's neater at the scalp and when I wash it, it doesn't unravel as quickly.

I like to start with a braid for all the reasons above, and also because it makes the style look less bulky.

 

[GodsPromises]

braid it is. Thanks ladies.

Start with a braid. Start with a twist around the perimeter for a nice look.

 

[Maguerite]

Start with a braid. More secure.

Start with braid. Once I did the twist method and the removal was very difficult.

I prefer to start with a twist. Removal is fast and easy. However when you are starting out it takes more practice to do to keep them from slipping. Even with slippage I prefer starting with a twist because of the decreased removal time.

Really? I would think it would it be easier to take down if you started with twists as the above poster said.

This is interesting. I am going to be DIYing my Senegalese twist in a few months. I've always had them done starting with the twist and I live it that way. Now I'm worried I won't be able to do that myself. Hate the look of braid at the root to be honest. I I'll need to start practicing.

I thought so too. They weren't even left in long, may be 4 weeks. I'm going to try it again with twist at the root. May be I did something wrong the first time. My hair was really intertwined with the extension hair.
