AFR0ST0RY Wearing Loose Twists

[virtuenow]

Here is a youtube video w/AF0ST0RY wearing loose twists. Her roots appear to be braided. I think *I would like to try this style at some point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_hN7SnRnrQ&feature=g-all-u

She reminds me of NY from I love NY for some reason. Her hair is pretty.

^It's the eyes and nose. I definitely see it.

I like her hair, but I guess I made my twists more traditionally than I thought. Hers are much looser than mine; my hair would've unraveled if I tried to style it similarly.

NappyNelle I think she did hers on blown out hair. You used airdry/stretched hair, right? Your twists were pretty as well. I can't wait to try this style

@virtuenow, I'm also intrigued and have been since I saw Cipriana doing it. I think I like the idea of braiding roots the way AFR0ST0RY does--or I'd do the roots as firm twists since I remember how I hated to undo braids at the bottom of twists. I think I'd feel less nervous if the roots and ends were done firmly. I would have to get used to not washing my hair twice a week though coz you can't risk getting those twists wet.

@NappyNelle, I think the way to keep them from unraveling is to do the ends tighter. Cipriana demonstrated it here: FF to 2:36

Nonie after a closer look, @10:50 of this video, you can see that AFR0ST0RY used firm twists at the roots; and it looks like she used firm twists at the ends too. Cipriana 'done started something

Oooh...thanks virtuenow. That does seem like something I could so do. (Files the idea away for future reference. )

I did mine tight at the root,loose,then tight again. Ciprianas looks like loose hair. Those are SUPER loose.

@pookaloo83 did you take pics? And I'm guessing your hair was stretched?

pookaloo83, you made me CTFU talmbout "I thought I was doing something!"

I have a feeling my loose twists would look like yours coz I know there's no way I would just wrapping my hair around itself w/o twirling first. Looking at your twists makes me feel a kind of peace coz it looks to me like tangles will not be a problem. Now Cipriana's hair makes me get the shakes and a twitch, although when I heard she doesn't wash it while like that I relaxed a bit, but not enough to cure the twitch. I would still have a hard time sleeping at night if I did them like hers. Now yours I can handle.

I laughed out loud at this. glad I'm not the only one who made the face at the tangly mess atop her head. Breakage city for me! But it works for her I guess.

pookaloo83, you laughing and she's got hair that laughs at ours. I think you and I just don't understand; she seems to have her system down pat and it's taken her places we are just dreaming of.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing she has course, thick strands? I don't get it either; I know I would have NO hair if I did mine like her...
