WAIST LENGTH KINKY TWISTS!!!!!!!

[t23luvgod]

I was fumbling around on another board and came across this picture of waist length kinkies and I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone ever seen or had these??????

 

[Simply_Kelz]

I've seen them ALOT. They can be very pretty.

 

[lil_xelle]

wow these are CUTE!!!! i don't mean to hijack the thread but whats the differemce between kinky twist and seneglese twist

 

[SimpleKomplexity]

How the heck do you get waist length kinky twist?! I'm thinking this is my last time with kinky twists because she doubles the hair, and my hair is almost at the bottom of the weave....

She was like Kris DON'T KUT THIS WEAVE OUT AT ALL or ALL your hair will be on the FLOOR!

 

[ceedeelight]

It looks good, but I imagine it would be heavy.

They are very nice. That is what I have sported the last year and 1/2. They are not heavy at all. The main issue is to make sure you do them thin enough for when you want to put them in a pony. The reason most people who have kinky twists have them short is because often they braiders cut the hair into 4 pieces. I use one strand of twist hair that is 36 inches and fold it in 1/2 to give me an 18 inch braid.

Here are mine. I curl the ends.

I've been looking all over to see if they made these any longer than APL because I wanted long ones! I've never seen anything past APL. Thanks for posting!
They look very similar to my senegalse twists though, except you can tell they use different hair....they're "kinkier".

 

[t23luvgod]

whew! im glad somebody saw them before!



yea if when i get them, they'll be like half that size..

i like senegalse twists but these are a lil different

Maybe you could try the waist length so your hair isnt all the way at the bottom

 

[loolalooh]

I've done them before as well. Here's a pic of one from last year. (I used a bit too much hair though.)

I'll probably do another set this year. The length of hair I used was about 22-24 inches when you fold it in half. I used about 3 packs of hair I think. Just use the packs as is; don't cut the hair in half.

 

[mscocoface]

They had these at sally's. These are the ones I keep reusing because they no longer sell them.

These are not as thick as the ones in the picture though. They are more of a pencil width.

I thought I had a better pic of the length but this shows some of the length.

 

[Amari]

I really want to try these.It seems like it would be too heavy,and cause too much stress on my strands.With my regular kinky twists,I have to use a lot of hair because my hair is thick.They were heavy and too thick to put into a pony.

 

[genesis132]

I wore these throughout last year. I've had in smalller twists for the last 3 mos. I was thinking about sporting the longer ones again in the fall. Washing or wetting them was the only time they felt heavy. The key is to not use as much hair.

 

[Netta1]

I had these done

These I did myself

you did these yourself??? how???

idk if im that talented
hmm..

 

[ladylibra]

i did kinky twists once, very big thick ones. they were only BSL, that was the longest kinky hair i could find.

but, they weren't heavy at all. almost like natural kinky hair, it's a lighter weight than the straight yaki hair. doesn't feel heavy unless the hair is wet.

 

[kweenameena]

Those are gorgeous!!
What brand of hair is everyone using?

 

[Netta1]

you did these yourself??? how???

idk if im that talented
hmm..

LOL, well first I rinsed the kinky hair, conditioned it, sprayed it with braid spray and let it air dry.

Then I proceeded to add the kinky hair to my hair the same way you add braid extensions. I french braided for about an inch and then two strand twisted all the way down to the end.

When I was finished I braided the twist in groups and dipped the hair in hot water (and unbraided)for the crinkly look.

A lot of people don't realize how easy they are to do by yourself. All of mine I have done alone except my first set. All the BSL to Hip length kinky twists I have had were done by me.

 

[mscocoface]

I have done all of mine with the exception of the first 2 or 3 times I went to a salon, when I got tired of driving from OC to Crenshaw I figured it out.

It isn't that difficult when you get the hang of it.

The ones I use to buy from Sallys were made by Vienna Hair Collection called B. Marley Pony, length 19 inches. There were single strands so there was no need to pull, measure or work the hair together. It was about 40 or 50 strands per bag. Very easy to use.

I have been looking for this brand everywhere but can't find it.

Right and because you do them yourself you get to keep the hair on your head..lol

i heart these sooo much lol

It looks good, but I imagine it would be heavy.

It really is. I installed some waist length kinky twists of my own a while back and they were heavy. Furthermore, they were very thick and difficult to pull into a ponytail. I suppose the part of the problem is that my own hair is very dense.

When I've done Senegalese twits, they were not heavy or too full because the extensions are different and the parts are smaller.

Anyway, the hairstyle in the pic OP posted is very nice.

 

[hairsothick]

I was going to get Senegalese twists, but I think these look better. This is what I want.

i was thinking the same thing!

now i gotta figure out if i want to try and do them myself or shove out some money to a random person

What kind of hair did you use?

I think I can probably do these myself instead of paying the Africans 200 dollars.

Yup. You know how tight the braiders braid hair. I went through not being able to sleep. Never again and to do them that length you are looking at 140 plus. 4 packs of hair and a Saturday of doing nothing.

 

[Miamori]

I've been wanting kinky twists since I was 10 years old. I used to ask my mother EVERYYY summer... I was begging!

Maybe I will look into them now.
