Almost Finished Now_DIY kinky twists*pics

[Mook's hair]

Hi Ladies, Now I've got all the twists in, they just need to be cut and I need to do something to the ends.

These are much bulkier than I anticipated. I guess because my hair is so uber-thick. Anyone have any ideas for how I can thin them out.
Also, What do ya'll think I should do with the ends?
Will spiraling them make it bulkier?
I won't use this kind of hair again. This brand is Bobbi Boss Jamaica Braid 20".

purty... and neat too!

 

[sydwrites]

Very nice, i'm so jealous you can do your own!

 

[Purfectalibi]

Guuurrl you need to do my hair, where you at? LOL ..... It looks very neat and professional, great job!

 

[lilsparkle825]

they're beautiful, mook. i dont think they're too thick at all. have you tried curling the ends with perm rods?

 

[SimpleBrooklyn]

Nice parts Did you blow dry your hair first? Your own hair twist looks good. Can't wait till you BC

I don't know much about extensions, but I think you would have had to thin the hair as you added and twisted it.

Am I right ladies?

 

[CenteredGirl]

I :heart2: your hair!

 

[msdeevee]

Very pretty...if someone said I'll give you $10,000.00 to do your own twists. I'd have to pass, no way I can do that

They don't look too thick to me, maybe they'll relax a bit if you wet them down. The only way you could have made them thinner is before you added the hair in.

If it's synthetic hair I agree with the perm rods & hot water to put a curl on the ends.

Wow u did a good job!! Ur hair is neat and pretty!

 

[joib]

I likey.So professional.

Great job Mook. They don't look bulky to me. Plus twists usually need a day or two in order to settle. Are you going to use perm rods and dip the ends? How long did they take?

 

[missnurselady]

Those look great Mook!!!! I would rod the ends w/ or w/o the hot water.

 

[BrooklynSouth]

Mooks, your technique is awesome, so professional looking.

 

[msdevo]

You did a great job.

If you wanna thin them out, try not to use so much hair next time.

 

[Whimsy]

You did that yourself?! NO WAAAY!!!!!
Very impressive!

I think I might redo some of the ones in the middle. I am thinking about making some of the squares bigger.

I think next time I'll just use loose hair instead of the kind that is already grouped into a strand. It seems my hair is too thick and therefore needs less hair per twist than this pre packaged brand has divided.

I'm getting ready to start cutting these now. At the moment I look way to 1994 circa Poetic Justice.

I swear, I look just like my Freshman college ID photo.

Your twists look great!!!! You have have AMAZING twisting and braiding skills!!!!

 

[audacity.]

you did a wonderful job!

 

[ShaniKeys]

Do you have any idea how good that looks ? Hairgasm

 

[patient1]

If you want to finish the ends without them sitting "out" the way this style usually does, just braid them up into big bunches and dip them in hot water sans perm rods. Let them dry and then release. The smaller the bunches, the tighter the "wave" on the end and the more the heat can compact them.

Good luck. I think you did an excellent job...especially using the no-braid method. I've done that on others but not myself.

I cant believe you did that yourself. It came out so pretty! Have you ever thought about doing that on the side?

 

[asummertyme]

good job mama!

 

[wheezy807]

Very pretty Mook!

 

[SunnyDelight]

Mook they dont look too thick to me. You did a great job girlie. Very neat. Use tiny perm rods and curl the ends.

when i do mine i use about 1/2 or even less of the pre clumped twist piece. that way they dont get too bulky. they look good and i love how you attached them. it looks like its all yours.

 

[Likeyouneverseenme]

Dang Mook, can you do my hair??
It looks awesome!! great job

 

[Essensual]

Nice work, Mook!

How long did this take you? It looks very professional. I think you just found a side hustle, fa real!

 

[TrustMeLove]

You did an excellent job. The way to keep the bulk down is using less hair. I know the hair I use comes like pre stranded (whatever that is), but it is way too much hair sometimes. So you have to find a way to pull the hair apart. I tried this weekend and I kept messing up at least the second piece of hair I wanted to keep. So I get 1 good piece of out of it....I hope to change that.

You could try to set the ends on rollers and curl.

Your first post inspired me to try flat twist extensions for the first time. They came out pretty decent. My ends aren't great, but I planned to wear my hair bunned up anyways or in some type of up style. I might take pictures later. THANKS!

They look so nice Mook!!!! I hope I can do that one day!!!
