Yes, I finally did it! Here's a more thorough and complete guide on how to flat twist your hair. There are two methods, both are equally good to know and master. I use both to ease tension on my hands when doing updos.

Thanks Laila... I enjoyed this thorough tutorial, I usually use method two and always have problem with tangling of the strands and just give up. I'll try the first method you showed to see if this is better for me. My hair has to have good amounts of leave in conditioner before I attempt flat twists.

Hi Laila, I came across your channel today and was so inspired, i purchased your practical guide for hair growth. I thought you would give guidance in terms of how often to moisturise, wash and trim. Though these steps may differ person to person, but it would be nice to know what you did. Also, a product guide, unless you utilise the you tube platform for that? Your hair is absolutely gorgeous and i am so inspired to try some of your steps for mine and my daughters hair journey. thank for sharing all these tips!

Is there a wig and a stand I can purpose to practice on, or is it better to work on my own hair. My hair is the length of yours and as thick. I’ll keep trying. God bless you Lelia for your time and patience. Y’all pray for me that I get it.

I can flat twist other persons' hair; but I have difficulty flat twisting my own. Perhaps because my hair is long and 'tangly'. It just takes too much time to separate and smooth the top section as you did in the first method. It hadn't occured to me to stretch my hair first. Thanks.

Hey Nicola, it's the exact same thing. once you actually master flat twisting and it comes to you naturally, without overthinking it, you can do it in any direction. How you hold your hands will come down to what is comfortable for you. But trust me, if you struggle to twist up, you haven't graduated yet.

@nicolareid6362 4 жыл бұрын

I've cooked and baked complicated dishes that came out perfectly on the first try... I make my own bar soaps, body and hair oils, lotions and body butters for myself and my family. I even make a few dollars from it as a side hustle... But no matter how many times I try, or how many video tutorials I watch, I STILL can't cornrow or flat twist to save my life! I have two young daughters with 4d hair, and I can't afford a beautician. Make THAT make sense!🙄
