MINI TWISTS UPDATE: Four Years Later & 3x the Amount of Hair LOL! | Type 4 Natural Hair 

😂😂 the walking back and forth while twisting your hair is so relatable

I love you for you. I lost my hair because of stress of a job and Covid. I lost 4 inches. I'm struggling sis. Still love you. Keep thriving and surviving

Damn the flu, monthly cycle and cold water after only 10 minutes of being in the shower would have been my breaking point ngtl😭

Anthony Dickey has said that for every hour you spend braiding/twisting your hair, you can keep it for up to a week. So, for the 5.5 hours you've spent, you could keep it for a bit over a month 😊.

Your hair grew so longggg do you think one day you can do maybe kind of like a product haul?😭 (yes I’m nosey) not really a haul but showing maybe basic products you like to use?

They look beautiful! First time I did twists it took also forever!! Several things helped me cut down the time: 1. Twisting slightly more loosely. 2. Using the proper twisting technique (which will allow you to twist more loosely without them unraveling); Get glam fam has probably the best YT tutorial on twisting. 3. Twisting faster. This is also aided by correct technique. But also, to protect my hands while going faster I wear hand braces (the kind you get from the pharmacy section at walmart). I just take the metal out. Makes a huge difference.

The hair growth!!!!

As someone with fine long natural hair, I can appreciate the full expanding twists. They look beautiful. Hope you feel better soon and thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous twists!! 🤩 Girl you have so much beautiful hair - not just very long but super thick 😲 Now that you have so much length there are so many more twist styling options if ever you want to change your look, either way it's gonna be gorgeous every time❤❤❤

I used to love Jimmy neutron as a kid and Libby was my favorite character. She was so sassy. Oh I love your hair.

Your mini twists look so juicy and gorgeous and your hair growth....just wow!

Love mini twist hate installing them 🤣 They are worth every bit of the effort. Yours turned out beautiful.

You're right, it does look beautiful! Wishing you a quick recovery!

I feel you on the body pain after doing your hair. I have to use a heating pad on my back or neck nearly every week when washing and style day comes around. And it’s even worse when I’ve done my own box braids or senegalese twists

First off, your twists look great! But, you had me crying 😂at the end (empathetically, ofc!) because last year, I injured my finger creating that same style on my head right before a week of traveling. Except, I hadn't made the connection as to why my pinky had become so sore. I thought I was developing arthritis(!) and went to the doctor in a panic. The diagnosis was trigger finger and I was given a little plastic oval finger brace to wear on my pinky for a couple weeks. This helped keep my finger stabilized until the swelling/soreness subsided. Swelling went down within a week and the brace became too large for my finger. Eventually it came off on the plane back home without my noticing until hours later. Hope your fingers are back to 100% capacity soon! ❤

Came out nice your hair really grew.

I love your channel! Thank you for being true to yourself and embracing your natural hair. I love that you do so much with your hair that is relatible and its with YOUR hair. Thnks, and i hope your twists last a long time.

Your twists look beautiful! Feel better soon ❤

Oh wow, the last video I watched on your channel was that one with the yellow tank top. I've been away for a while and almost didn't recognize you 😮 your hair is goals for me right now ❤

Love love love your hair. It’s been a joy watching your journey. You have such beautiful hair and so versatile. Been sporting micro twists almost exclusively lately. Just the perfect low maintenance style. Try to twist them a little more damp, with a Jam gel, and tighter twisting (don’t pull out as you twist, twist in short more compact cross overs) they may not relax and puff out as much. Hard to say with your thickness though, but I see other naturals with super thick hair have no puffing when they twist shorter and use more product or moisture. Mine will only puff if I moisturize them after they dry. They will 1/2 double in size. I do that when I wear micro minis and there’s too much scalp because the twists are tiny. It gives them a slight lived in look and you can’t see my scalp. Been wearing mini or micro mini twists since last spring. After I wash and condition, I put them in larger twists like 12-14 and then take about a week to turn those sections into micro twists. I will spray the section with a hair milk or use a mousse, section and then two strand twist with Jam gel. I have about 120 currently, but I like them at around 250. It’s just too much to do that. I don’t know how you did that in one sitting. It took me a month to install about 300 last fall as I was going on a trip and wanted them to be micro. I just kept breaking down the sections even further but only worked on them after work in the evenings or on the weekends a bit in short sessions. My last install was 80, but I broke them down further a week ago to 120. I wear them about 4-6 weeks. I like twisting them in larger sections and putting them in flexirod rollers. I started wearing them to see if I would like locs. I don’t have your thickness, but the length and hair maintenance has become something I don’t want to deal with so much anymore. Still considering locs, but on the fence. I’m afraid of alopecia from the constant strain of reties. The twists are just two strand, no braiding at the scalp or anything. I wore the 300 micro twists for 8 weeks. Took a week and 1/2 to take them down. I absolutely loved them. Another two weeks and they would’ve started to loc up. 😅 If I could find a stylist who would redo them for me every 8 weeks at a reasonable price I would go for it.

Hope you feel better.

Stunning 6 hours for it wowww sending love from beautiful haiti i♥️♥️🇭🇹🇨🇭

yout mini twists are beautiful!

The arms and hands aching are so relatable! It caught me off guard when once on video call friends asked if I started an arm workout regimen. 😂😂 meanwhile it was just the minitwisting!!

Your hair journey is incredible. You have beautiful hair

You did good. I have not been taking care of my hair since I started watching you, so my hair has just broken off. I recently got this same look using kinky hair. I love it.

❤your hair it looks fantastic 😂👍🏼

Hope you’ll feel better soon. 🌷Get help with all that hair girl! Treat yourself❤!!!

Im amazed by how your hair has evolved over the years! My hair is pretty big at times and when doing twists I try to make sure if I want a sleek look I twist the hair as I’m twisting down like a Senegalese technique. Hold it firm and twist each as you’re twisting down.

Beautiful results! 😍

Your mini twists came out gorgeous! They look so full and soft looking 😊.

Hey sis love your beautiful hair 😊

Damn that some thick hair. My mini twists are pathetic compared to this lol. It looks like she twisted fake hair into this!!

Your hair look good

So sad you haven't been feeling well! Sending you tons of love and healing energy ✨️

Hey, about your arm. Its probably due to muscle strength imbalance. I started doing light upper body workouts with 2kg dumbbells and my arms are usually fine even after hours of twisting. Maybe it can help. It will surprise you how weak the left arm is. Try it.

Great job Joyel they look beautiful.. Feel better! ❤

Pray you feel better ❤❤❤🙏🏾

Looks great!! You can save some time by flat-twisting the front and 2-strand twisting the back. And wear a bandaid on your finger if you can to prevent rubbing.

You did an amazing job, they look great! I love mini twists, I used to do micro a lot in 2020 but just like you, I have high density hair and nowadays my arms hurts just of thinking about doing it again 😂 hope you have a fast recovery! ❤

I just discovered your videos. I love your confidence! I am mixed with similar features and hair texture, so I can relate a lot to your videos.

Love that style

❤ hair came out beautiful

I just got my hair down in mini twist with extensions. I love it. Versatile 💕💕💕

Love it!!

Thanks for sharing 🎉 (Rev 21:3-6)

Lmao! She had anchor arms the next day! 🤣

Sorry the ice pack and sleeping pad has me 🤣🤣🤣

Love it! What color do you have in your hair?

Your wig looks BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤ 😅😂😅😂!!! I ❤ it!!!

Love your content! Been a subscriber since the beginning 😊. Also sis I LOVE the pink shirt lol may I ask where you got it?

Oh snap your hair got long lol been awhile since I've seen a video or post from you lol

Try adding a bra at the base of your twists. It will help stop them from getting frizzy fast. It has been a game changer for me.

Hi! How did you melt the sulfur 8?

I’m doing minis the first time this weekend and I want them small but may end up doing them like yours because they will take me 2 days 😩

hey is your wash days and hair care all still the same? it’s been a while since i watched your videos, i’m still natural… i just completely forgot how to take care of my hair, i shave my head last year out of frustration, i had a lot going on in my life. The length of my hair was so long before… and i would go to your channel for advice. my hair is regrowing back. Its now an afro, i have been lazy taking care of it, i see now you have new content where do i begin? 😅

Hello

😊🖐

How often do you wash your hair ?

I've never seen a white girl with type 4 hair
