Hello ladies! Here are my spring twists. This is my second time doing these and I just love them! I'm trying to save money by doing my own hair, and truly, God is helping a sista' out! I am considering transitioning and will use these as my primary style for a year. My hair is thick, coarse, 4a (healthy) relaxed hair.

Question: I'll be using the Crown & Glory method for maintenance. I plan to keep the twists in for two months at a time and break for a week in between for some deep conditioning and protein treatment. I want to do this for a year. Is this safe to do? Do I need more time in between twists? (Note: I do not believe in tight braids! These are very secure but in no way too tight on my scalp--I don't have that bump action going on around my edges.)

Thanks for your help and your feedback! :grin:

They look nice and I don't think there's harm in your regimen. I wore my twists 24/7 for months.

Question: what are "spring twists"? How different are they from 2-strand twists?
 
Wonderful job!!!! They look really good. I think it's enough time to moisturize and deep condition, I do it and it works for ME but I'm sure some of the experts will come in to give you sound advice. Keep up the good work and HHG
 
Was about to ask the same question...

They're beautiful :yep:

Hi Nonie! Thanks for replying! Spring twists are the same as the 2-strand twists, except for the type of extension hair used. The spring twist extension hair is a self-coiling hair, so no hot water is needed to secure the ends and no braiding is needed on the ends. Man, I love this hair! That's why I stopped using the regular kanekalon hair. I hated having to use that hot water on the ends.
 
These are so cute! I love 'em. I'd say just get a good DC in between before you put in the next set. SMART GIRL for not braiding 'em too tight. You won't have a bare temple like I did :nono:

Hi. Thanks! I used e-on hair. We don't have a local distributor in the Southeast. I can only find the hair online. I'm sure you can buy it in the BSS in the Maryland/DC area, though. Call 301-577-0606 or call Sundance Co. at 1-800-258-1668 to order.
 
HURRY UP with the tutorial! :giggle:

These are very nice. Do you think they would work on longer hair? I am running out of ideas for my sister and she is natural 4b APL.
 
:wow:

Those are SOOOOOOO cute! I was tripping for a minute and was like, her hair ain't relaxed! :lol: (a little slow today) I didn't get that it was an extension style. (thanks, msa for elaborating)

Wow, just wow. These are SO cute on you.

Did you secure at the root with a plait/braid and then twist into your hair? How long is your natural hair? How many packs did you use?

Thanks! My hair is almost APL and if I use the entire length of the twist, I have about 2.5 inches of extension beyond the length of my hair. Your hair will coil up into the twist, shrinking the length of your hair considerably. So your sister should be good with these! I luuvv them!!!

I'll post a tutorial soon!

LOL! Yes, I started with a braid for about an inch or more and then twisted to the end. My natural hair is close to APL. I used a little over 4 packs. As I told someone else, my head is big, so maybe I needed more, but contrary to what the site says (2 packs) you might need about 3 or more.
