I think I might not 'get' twists.

Or is this how they're supposed to look?

I tried them for the first time a few days ago. They look a bit more 'scraggly' and thin than other people's. Are you supposed to add extensions or something?

I quite like how they looked though. It's a bit like dreads, but without the commitment

You can really see my thin ends with them though. Will be getting about 4" cut off soon.
My usual transitioning style is blowdrying/flat ironing and while doing the twists took me a bit longer, I could do it while watching DVDs, unlike straightening
So I think I'll be trying it again, probably with smaller twists.

Are there any good twist tutorials on the web?
Also, what do you use to style the twists? I used hair wax but they kept on unravelling.

they will look like that for u if u have relaxed ends still on...when cut those off the ends should curl up and the hair should be puffy more like u see naturals hair...

some relaxed heads on here do twists but i think it's mostly for a twistout...

I agree, once you get rid of the relaxed hair, your twist will look fine.

What she said. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I was hoping to wear it as a transitioning style though. I might anyway, it'll probably look better after my cut (maybe mini chop) tommorow.
I look forward to trying twists when my hair is fully natural though.

Oh, the twistout looked awful on me!

Okay... I thought it was just me. I thought I could do the twists as a transitioning style like so many others have, but mine came out the same as yours, Doak. And my twistout... I am going to stick to the bun until I can get these ends off.

I can't do twists and twistouts either, because my relaxed hair is too thin. I did do braids and braidouts during the summer.

I love twists and twistouts, but I will wait until I'm fully natural to do them.
