Silky Twists

[mahoganee]

Hey ladies! I did a search and couldn't find anything about them so if any of you have had these could you tell me what the pros and cons of wearing these are and the maintenance? TIA!

I have had the silky twists or silky "locs" as some people call them. I really liked the style on me and I got alot of compliments as well but they took 11 hours to put in and they did not seem to last as long as other styles I have had.They were pretty heavy on my head... I have not had silky locs since then but I enjoyed them while I had them.

Ohhh, bad experience with these. I took braiders 9 hours to put them in and 25 minutes for me to take them out while driving home. Way too tight for my head. I looked like the monster from the Predator movie. They looked better on the model in the hair magazine.

I'm hoping that I don't end looking like the predator either. If it's too tight my braider is taking it right back down.
I'll see if I can find a picture of them.
ETA: Okay I found a couple of sites that have pictures on them.
