How I wore my twists - pictures
Hellooo my people! (I woke up this excited. I wonder what I dreamt).I promised to share pictures of how I styled my kinky twists in the almost three weeks I had them in. Most times I wore a half up style. Gathered to one side was another favourite. No need to bore you with those pictures.
A few other times I decided to get creative and go for something more interesting:
This was for Capital Naturals 3 hair meet-up here in Abuja
I was so glad I made the effort because I got a lot of appreciation for it- compliments, people wanting to know where I got my hair done, me blushing as I told them I did it myself...And my picture landed on Natural Nigerian's account of the event. Air punch :D Thanks NN.
I did a big top bun with a braided back for a day out with a couple of friends:
One great thing about kinky twists that I LOVE is that most times I didn't even need a pin to style. They just stay in whatever position I put them. Just tuck here and there and you're good. These styles above were pin-free.
This one time I used a couple of twists around my ears on each side, to make a twisted headband which I pinned in place. The picture isn't clear enough unfortunately but:
I love how these twists make everything look so intricate. Actually all I did was just roll, twist, tuck tuck tuck randomly. It took just that one shiny hairpin on top to hold it all together.
That's all folks! Hope you like.

DeleteI love the kinky twists. What kind of hair did you use to do them? I want to copy you and get some done too
ReplyDeleteHi Yvette, you'll love it. I used Xpression Premium Kingky braiding hair. Supreme and Noble have the same kind too.
DeleteYou've got skills. They turned out so professional looking, well done.

Hi Fola! Yes they're also called marley twists. I used Xpression Premium Kingky, you can also use Noble or Supreme. They're all very similar. I'm not on friend connect but I followed back on google+ and followed your blog and I love it!
DeleteLOVE your twists and the styles too! I need to protective style soon and you've inspired me to give marley twists another shot! The ones I did myself last year were too huge and too crazy, too much for me to handle! But wait oh. Isn't your hair longer than these twists? How did you manage to compress it?
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteTwo things- a lot of the length got displaced horizontally. ie the pieces were much fatter than my real hair so my hair had a lot to wind around with each twist.
2. The curls. The twists were a lot longer until i curled them then the length shrunk.
I can't wait to see yours
I love your twists. I am so jealous because braids/twists and i have divorced. They hate my hairline and i love my edges so we had to sign the divorce papers...lol. But i love seeing them on other people's heads.
