DIY Havana Twists

[meecee]

Hey Ladies,

I just wanted to share pics of the Havana Twists I did last night. I used one and a half packs of hair from finger comber.com. For each twist I used two pieces of hair. It took me about 4 hours because I had trouble starting the base of some of the twists using the invisible roots method. Overall I love the style and have plenty of hair left over because I ordered 5 packs of hair. The havana twist hair was very easy to work with. It blends extremely well with 4a/b hair. I twisted in dry stretched hair that was air dried overnight. Hope that's enough detail

I also watched every video I could find on YT before getting started.

It was pretty easy to do once I got the hang of it.

Oh, I really want to try these. I thought I could do this with regular kinky twist, but Im seeing that the fingercomber hair is a bit different.

A lot of the ladies on YT and various blogs did their own using marley hair. I think it can be done, but the marley hair is rougher than the havana twist hair. I think it's worth it to order the hair from fingercomber.com especially since the hair can be washed and reused.

I love that Havana Twist hair from fingercomber.com, I recently installed some Puffy Twists using that hair:

Just took them out this weekend, I wore them for 4 weeks (I redid some of the front after two weeks as well as washed the twists/my scalp). This was my 3rd set of these using the same hair, I could have saved the hair and continued to get additional uses out of it but I did end up discarding the hair this time around. I may try them larger like you did though, I really love the look!

ShyIntellect your twists are gorgeous! I love how you've reused the hair several times. I love cost effective products.

I'm thinking of doing this to my hair for the summer. Does the Havanna Hair come in different lengths? My hair is close to MBL and when I went to Fingercomber.com, I didn't see a length option.

THey only come in one length but since you'll be using multiple strands you can adjust it to lengthen or shorten. Unstreched it's about 24 inches and stretched it's about 30 ish give or take a few.

Thanks Fhrizzball! I'll probably purchase the hair this week.

What color are you guys getting and what color is your hair? Please describe since I don't know what the 1B, 3d, designators are as applied to hair color. I, know, but I don't color my hair, I only henna........

Thanks!

I used about 2.5 packs of hair for mine.

@curlicarib
I ordered the hair in Chestnut Black, which is similiar to 1B.

Very cute I may have to try this.

Oh I like these a lot, they look great, you did a great job! I want to do these for my daughter for the summer.....off to research

LadyBugsy I used just over two packs of hair. I used two pieces for each twist except on my edges I used one piece. I've had the twists in 4 weeks now. I retwisted the front 2 rows last week.

curlicarib I bought the colors dark hazelnut and amber for the highlights. Dark hazelnut is similar to color #4.

You will love this style. It looks more natural the older the twist get. I was able to wash my twists pretty easily using diluted shampoo and tresseme naturals to condition.

Unfortunately it only comes in one length. I would like to be able to continue using this brand as my hair gets longer. Make sure you post pics of yiur twists.
