Not as scary as I thought it'd be

But perhaps because it isn't on YouTube, privy to the criticism of millions of hair people. Alas, it's only a minute long...



So here, I have taken the time out to make some pretty nice twists on my own without help and with a cut on my finger (ouch!). I left the last one to do for the video, as it's much easier, with my hair, to not have a foot high fro in the way.



I decided to make this because most people with natural hair (that hasn't been locked) have a tiny bit of it, only a few inches, so they can coil/twist their hair with a comb in seconds. Most of the videos I've found are of people with tiny amounts of hair that they can twist in no time, after they've used a ton of gel. In my video, I show that I have my Aussie Leave In Creme, my Magical Gro oil, and my water bottle.



In order to prevent my usual puffy roots, I begin by plaiting the hair close to the scalp, then comb it out to keep the ends from knotting. Then I use a teensy bit of the creme, run it through the section, get the two sections made from the plaited three, twist it out, and near the end, grab some oil and finish by coiling. I use only a little bit of product because I hate buildup on my hair (it makes my scalp itchy).



As you can tell, twists are NOT like dreadlocks. And I've got some pretty nice length (before it shrinks) and sheen!
