MBL & Longer...Braids and Twist?

[Ms. Tiki]

Hey ladies,

I need to find something to do with my for the summer that will be running and working out friendly. I'm trying to figure out what type of braids or twist are best when your hair is MBL of longer.

Suggestions needed...pics and video links welcome.

Help a sister out Thanks!

BTW, I'm texlaxed so I have to add hair to my twist or braids for them to hold.

My hair is nowhere near this long, but maybe you could try medium/ large twists? Like the diameter of a nickel, depending on the thickness of your hair?

I am MBL and just put Kinky Twists in my hair. I have also worn box braids at this length.

I only add the same thickness of extension hair as is in the part I am working with. I keep my extensions in for 6-8 weeks and wash every two weeks.

I'm MBL in the back. I use my hair and medium sized twists/box braids.

Austro-Afrikana What kind of hair did you you for the twist? It looks like regular kinky twist, marley braid, is too short.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

Thanks Aviah and luvlylife. I think med twist is it. I just have to figure out what kind of hair is long enough

I don't know anything about braids or twists but boy am I excited to see the pics

@Ms. Tiki I think I used sensationnel afro kinky bulk. All I remember is that it was toyokalon fibre. I was inspired to do them after watching beautifulbrwnbabydol's video.

I've never tried them but I remember about some good info found somewhere, I think here. It may be common knowledge but it doesn't hurt to share it anyway (and I had no idea about it). Basically, when you get box braids, if you braid your own hair only then the scalp gets matted after a while. If you add extensions while braiding instead, you don't end up with crazy matting.

I don't do braids or twists Ms. Tiki, sorry. However, I wear high bun or bantu knots when working out.

Thanks for the tag! But I'm only sl at the moment, I just self installed some senegalese twists. Unfortunately, I don't like the look on me

 

[Ms. Tiki]

@Angelinhell that's why you got the tag. Now where are the pics. I still wanna see'em

 

[Angelinhell]

Ms. Tiki sorry for the late response, using the mobile version.

I installed them myself using kanekalon hair. The last pic looks wild because I had taken them out of a bun.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

Angelinhell What length are they b/c they look like you did a short set? I don't see anything wrong with them

 

[Angelinhell]

Ms. Tiki when they are down they are bsl, it's too hot to be wearing extra long heavy twists. I just don't like the look on me. I guessI should have done them smaller.

Angelinhell I can understand that but you did do a good job
