HOW TO STRETCH MINI TWISTS ON NATURAL HAIR

Hey guys! In this video I am going to be showing you guys how I stretch my mini twists. Mini twists are such a great go-to protective style because they're so cute and because the hair is twisted up, it helps to lock in that moisture a little longer. Even when the mini twists are starting to get dry, there are easy ways to refresh them and then go about your day! When it comes to this video, the plan was to first upload me installing the mini twists, and then stretching my mini twists would have been the next video. But, long story short, some things were happening this week and it just didn't work out! Whenever I install mini twists again I will obviously try to film that for you guys! #howtostretchminitwists

This is exactly what I did!!!! I plan on wearing my natural hair more often, so I put my hair in mini twists and plan on keeping them in for a month or two. Twists are the best for hair growth when it comes to my hair type (4c)! Great video 💕

yesss i’ve been itching to install some in my hair again! they’re just such a great protective style and so cute! 😍 and thank you!! 🤍

My twists are thin 😫 I have fine hair but it looks so thick when worn in Afro 🙈 nice idea on stretching them

@ImaniSamone_ 2 жыл бұрын

yeah if your twists come out thin i would def be more intentional about how you stretch them. so basically i would make sure not to overstretch your twists and maybe use bigger sections of twists. if you overstretch it could end up making your twists look more thin so just keep that in mind if you try this :)

awesome tutorial. im gonna try this method bc lord knows i dont wanna put heat on my hair to stretch it. i was initally going to stretch it first before installing, but i like this method more bc ill do my twists, maybe wear them shorter/shrunken for a bit and then stretch them for the linger look. very beautiful style. also we have the same name hehe :) #twinnemm lol

Hi! Can i let the banding overnight, or would it be disadvantageous for the hair? 😊

@aamateur-artist 5 ай бұрын

You can, in fact I think it’s ideal for this style tbh. When I wanna stretch my twists I do them before bed then take them out before I leave home for the day

@ImaniSamone_ 5 ай бұрын

hi! yes, you definitely can! i honestly prefer it. in my opinion, it gives the optimal stretch because at that point your hair would have been banded for more than enough time! if you really didn’t want to/if it’s uncomfortable, ultimately the idea is that it dries completely bc that ensures that the hair would’ve had enough time to mold into that stretched state. so as long as you at least do that, you should be good!

Can I do it with rubberband?

@ImaniSamone_ 3 жыл бұрын

I personally wouldn’t use rubber bands to be honest. If you don’t have satin hair scrunchies, any type of other hair tie should be fine (but of course try to stay away from the ones with the metal band)

Can you use rubber bands?

@ImaniSamone_ Жыл бұрын

ehhhh i wouldn’t recommend it because it wouldn’t be the easiest or safest thing when it comes to having to take them back out, and honestly i think it’d be a hassle putting them on the hair too

Can rubber bands be used instead

@ImaniSamone_ 2 ай бұрын

ehhh I wouldn’t use rubber bands. for one you can risk them getting caught in the hair, but also it just would be a lot harder to use for stretching. the elasticity of hair ties/scrunchies are just more effective overall. I have some linked in the description box that you could get!

whenever i stretch my mini twists they become wavy, is there a way to prevent that? my hair be dry too

@ImaniSamone_ 9 ай бұрын

honestly the same thing happens to me even when I stretch a wash n go sometimes. I think there’s been some times where it does and some times doesn’t do it but over time the waves may drop some. if i had to guess maybe slightly less water could help with that, and then just not tying the bands too tight and just using more throughout the length of your hair instead
