Ladies who wear twists...relaxed and natural..

[IMFOCSD]

How do you keep your ends from unraveling? I have discovered that I LOVE wearing my hair in two-strand flat twists and I put between 2-4 beads on the ends to keep them from unraveling. I want to try a way without using beads on the ends.

I tried doing a search but nothing came up about this particular topic. If anyone could give advice, suggestions and/or links I would greatly appreciate it. I am texlaxed but my ends are more straight then the rest of my hair. TIA

If you are natural, you can coil the ends by twirling them around your fingers a few times. When I was relaxed unless I rolled the ends around perm rods, they didn't last very long.

This is what I do; I also like to use an oil or butter on the ends during the week. My ends still unravel, but not to the point where the whole twist comes loose.

Using a butter to twist helps them hold, as well as rolling the ends on perm rods and also braiding the last inch or two worked well.

My hair holds on to itself.

Someone in a thread, I don't remember which one, said they used one of the edge control pomades which helped hold the hair very well.

Try a twisting cream they're usually thick enough to hold ends together

Thanks everyone

I am going to try all of the suggestions. I may just stick to placing beads on the ends if nothing else works. I actually like the beads but I don't know how that will look on really small twists.
