I know I'm late to comment, but I will anyway. I also have fine hair. You can make the twists look fuller by making them loose. If you twist them tightly, you get more length but less volume. Twisting them loosely allows your hair to "puff up" within the twists. It also takes much less time to install. You are very cute and look beautiful either way!

A lot of girls that do mini twist usually have thickness to their hair. So I agree with you, but you're pretty - you can wear any style and get away with it- some women can't.

Dang, you're massively pretty. Facial features giving Lupita.

I can totally relate. I feel it's a fine-strand issue, I resorted to twisting on stretched hair. That gives me better results

The problem you experienced was about thin and fine hair. Our kind of hair appears thick in the natural state, but in actuality it is really fine hair. My hair does the exact same thing, so mini twists are definitely not a go-to style for me because of the shape of my head. They look just like your finished product--which to me, looked fine on you. But as for me, I prefer to stick with chunkier twists so that my hair will appear as thick and full and is much easier when it comes to taking it down. Your end result looked fine because of the shape of your head, I looked like a little brown scarecrow, so I took it down immediately! 😂😂

Thanks for sharing the journey! It can be frustrating when a hairstyle doesn't turn out as planned, but it's nice to see what your realistic experience was! Really appreciate it. 😊

I think the issue is your hair in the back is longer than the hair In the front so it doesn’t look as full. The shape of your hair definitely helps. I have noticed when I had two different lengths my twists look thin. But if your hair was more similar in length and you do brick parting it would look good.

girl I relate, I just installed my mini twists and I had to come search on youtube to see if someone has had a similar experience and girl was I happy when I saw your thumbnail. No I'm subing to you channel 💓

Also sis… you are GORGEOUS!

I honestly think the stretching and refreshing the next day saved the style. That little high puff is super cute. I have medium-density, medium-to-thick strands (depending on the position of my scalp). I have recently tried mini twists and they looked more sparse than I expected! It was a new thing I had discovered about my hair, and now I'm learning to love it. It took me MONTHS to love the look of mini-braids on my hair. If you wear them for a few days in that puff, I think you'll start to like them a bit better.

My hair looks like yours when I did my mini twist the 1st few times. I just did mini twist again a week ago and it came out perfect. I have fine hair myself. The trick to getting my hair to look good I believe is the products I used. I washed my hair the added leave in only. I stretched my hair in fairly big 2 strand twist all over and then the next day I added a moisturizer and my jerry curl spray lol. Not too much product your hair should be barely damp. Sounds like a lot but it works for my fine hair

Your twists look beautiful. My twists are exactly the same. It's a natural look for our hair type and length. I used to leave mine in for at least a week, then I'd undo and wear as twist out which has a lot more volume.

My hair was the same way when it was ur length, except mine were boneless and limpy. Eventually, when ur hair gets thicker and longer you’ll be able to have those long chunky twists we all love so much! But hair is beautiful no matter the length, thank you for sharing this with us natural girlies❤

I loved it sis! I started doing mini twists with my natural hair maybe a year ago or so and since I have a bit of hang time now I’ll blow out or even straighten my hair and when it’s worn out I’ll just go right into the mini twists and I love the length so I completely understand why you was like idk which way to go lol. I usually only use a good moisturizer that doesn’t revert my hair cause ik over time my hair is going to shrink little by little one way or another. With that being said I think we may have a similar hair type although yours is thicker than mine I’ve always noticed that I have alot of hair but when I do styles like this it shows that my hair is thin at the same time.. it’s weird and confusing but in the end I just learned to love it because the style really does help me give my hair a break or put it up when I’m like 😭 girl I need a break from you lol. But none the less your gorgeous and I love your dimples ☺️😍

Your hair grows super fast!!!

Love this video. Thank you for sharing!! My hair is EXACTLY like yours. I used to wear mini twists, but now ai ear mini braids 1) because I no longer care and 2) they lasts so much longer in my opinion. I keep my braided up in a high bun, and it doesn’t look as bad to me than what I thought it would look. I wear them 6 months out the year in a high bun and the other 6 months (refreshing every 2 months), and I do 7 angled cornrows going into a low bun the other 6 months

Lol this is me anytime I do minitwists on my hair 😂😂 but I won’t lie they do help your hair grow

I think it turned out super cute❤️

Debssss😭😭😭😭 we have the same hair type. I gave up on twists as well so I’m also looking for the solution. Love how real this was

You make them look amazing thooo 😍

This cover photo is hilarious!! Great choice haha

Hi. Fellow thin haired cutie here. Honestly, I loved the results on your hair. It looked just like mine. I don't know if it'll help much, but I generally prefer to braid my twists instead of banding. It stretches the twists but still gives a curly look to them that makes it seem like I have some volume. Plus, it looks super cute.

I’m cracking up!!! 😂 That’s my hair too! I do NOT have juicy twists. I have fine strands, medium density, super soft, cottony, frizzy flyaway curls (roughly 3b/3c/4a). So, I do medium twists and wear them in cute pigtails or a ponytail. I do that for a week, then twist out for 2-3 days and finish off my 2 weeks with a high puff. Thank you for this video. We do not all have juicy twists. Not even close! 🤣🤣🤣🫶🏽

I am hollering at the beginning 😂. My hair is fine as well, so two strand mini twists don’t really work out well for me. But, I LOVED how you did your hair at the end with the bun. It is cute on you. You’re gorgeous anyway, so no matter how you style your hair, you will still be pretty.

to get your mini twists looking juicy, twist tightly at the roots and then looser once you feel the twists is secure and then when you get to the end twist tightly when you get to the end again to keep them from unraveling

You have the face for it lol 😆 I look a hot mess with my thin “mini” twists

Your hair looks beautiful . The more time its in it will look better and better and mini twist will help retain lots of length !

This is my hair type. My hair is dense but with thin strands. I do all that work and the mini twists just laughs at me😂😂😂

Finally i found a video i can relate to. I go through this every time i try to twist my hair... I think its the curling cream that we should not use wen twisting

I see what happened, because you have fine strands you need to do large parts to get the volume and fullness you are looking for, girls that have thicker strands do smaller parts to get more definition of the twist outs, you already have definition you just need the volume, so doing larger parts will definitely give you volume and camouflage the fine strands to make them appear thicker. Please note: nobody can change the thickness of their strands, because it is genetic, but there are techniques to accommodate fine strands to make them fuller and voluminous such as sectioning in large parts, allowing some frizz in the style, and using grease as a styling agent. 😊 I hope this helps! You have beautiful hair regardless, there will be styles that won’t work out for you --don’t let that discourage you from trying other styles, the goal is to find 3 that work and stick to it. 😊 I can’t do braid outs or twist outs because I looked like Jay Z with Freeform locs when I took them out. 😂 my hair looks amazing when I band my hair or when I African thread my hair with yarn and style it while it’s both of these protective styles. I also wear hijabs as an additional protective style.😊

I do my twist on freshly washed hair every time! ❤

We have the same texture/type of hair……. Girl you had me cracking up the whole video 😅😂 I can definitely relate to you. I don’t know maybe those other girls got the magic touch or something 😅😂. Cause when I twist my hair it don’t be looking like when those other girls do it. You are beautiful. 🌸 let us know how the twist looked when you took them down.

*Its just your hair.* *Your hair strands are very fine.* The look you really want isnt that achievable UNLESS you add hair. Thats honestly your best option for the look you want. I know what you were going for. (I have really fine strands also. I can 100 percent relate.) Btw, you said thin... your hair is not thin. Your hair strands are fine.

Your hair is soo cute you can get the best mini twist by just twisting your hair while its dry without any products then it will be full and bouncey🎉

Mini twist are beautiful i love them and yours look good too

The times I convinced myself that I can do my own hair, my twists looked similar to urs, but once I was done with d 1st section I kuku undid the hair I went to the salon 😂😂 the lady there said its cause I made the twists tight n not loose. A month ago I went to another saloon n some girls were there to learn how to do different hairstyle. That day they were asked to do twists n although they were the regular sized twists (not mini) she told them that d secret is to twist in the opposite direction that is to the right. I haven't tried twisting my own hair again to verify if its true but when they did what she said it looked way better than what they had started off doing

U should try again with fully stretched hair and do the Senegalese twist/rope twist w braided roots. And braid it w mouse after in three sections on each side and take out once fully set first two days it’s gonna be small but the longer u wear it the better it gets or u can try w ur hair wet and use leave in and grease sit under hooded dryer and stretch the hair after it’s set w a blow dryer mid shaft. Also ur hair didn’t look bad it’s just at an awkward length rn but the more u grow it out it starts to fall better a lot of the 4c girls are twisting at much longer lengths.

I have fine hair too. Your stretched twist were Beautiful. 💃🏿

Boms. I laughed so hard😂😂. I can totally relate. Mine never looks like what I see online😢😂

Add glycerin to your moisturize routine. 11g of glycerin n 68g of water. The glycerin gives the her fuller density. Some just use Shea butter it up to you. Over time your hair will get fuller. Meaning wearing your braids for 2-3 months with out taking them down

😂😂😂 girlll what is this intro I love it too muchhhhh

It was the same when i did mine for the first time. I have ro stretch my hair first and then do my twists. It grew so fast when i did them that way. I found out stretched hair grows more. You can stretch with or without heat.

my hair is fine too and I use mini twists (got some in my head right now). I'm ok that mine will never look like most videos on the internet. I will say I liked how mine came out when I blow dried my hair first and didn't use a lot of product once dry. But the shrinkage is real and that only lasted a couple days so kind of a moot point.

We’re in the same boat sis! I hated the way they looked the first time i did it. I made my twist too big. But one thing i did was put product and water on each twist not just on your whole head. I think that why they came out that way. But everything is trail and error

I can relate 😂😂😂😂it's how Africans love putting iiinng to everything..the twist is not twisting 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm here laughing at "throw the whole twist away" because I too have the same hair type that does not get the mini twist memo

Styling options: roll the hair, small puffs, braid rolls, curl the hair

It also looks cute all up

I experienced the same as you. I have thin hair also.

You should use leave in conditioner on each cut you make before twisting and don’t make the twists tight. This should help make the twist bounce and full

you are supposed to 3 strand braid it before u twist.

you could do mini twists and use a roller set on them to create curly twists. That would be cute. I think it will frame your face nicely.

i think it’s because you have fine hair , i usually do my twist on blown out hair and use a butter or crème. i think you should try that next time 🤍 beautiful either way though!!

As a fine hair girly I have to make my twist a little loose for it to look decent. A tight mini twist will have me looking scary 😂.

Debbie I've been looking for the kinda video, cause this is totally my hair, I even started thinking natural hair thing wasn't for me, they all made it look so easy. I don't think even when you stretched it like they suggest it will still be all bouncy and juicy😂

I also blow dry my hai before twisting. My hair is somewhat damp when I twist because of the products I apply to the twist. I do not apply to the whole head first. I use scrunchies to keep them stretched while twisting. It’s not bad looking. I just think it you blow dry it first your will have better results

Same for me and my fine strands in twists

Your twists are very pretty. My hair is mid back length, but when i wear twists, it shrinks up to my neck. I don't care tho because i don't have to worry about my hair for 3 weeks..

You making me laugh😂. I understand totally what you mean. I can relate...it don't look bad tho. The problem if you start to see how other girls have it then you start to doubt. I does add hair meaning kinky twist to make my hair look fuller and last longer. My hair is also thick but when I twist it it seems fine and delicate. I have it now in twist with my natural hair. I am.thinking to buy kinky twist so it can last long.

I can relate dear😂😂

so i used to have this issue! then i just started adding hair like ‘afro texture’ hair or i buy short maybe 12” twists and take them apart and add them! i get the volume im looking for and i don’t add a lot of hair !

I share your struggle sis😂. That's why I don't bother with mini twist. My hair comes out scanty and it's rought in 3days😅

I recommend watching tutorials on KZfaq on how to get juicy twists. 1 of your problems might be using heavy products that weighed your hair down. And changing your twisting method to give the twist a spiral look from top to bottom. Give it a second try ♥️

I’m thinking maybe u can twist the front towards the front to make a bang. Not sure if it’s long enough for that but after you took the bands off, it seems like it might work. I will try this too.

Ati looking so scattered 😂😂😂😂😂

My hair be like that too but you have to do a lot but don’t make them too small and don’t try to stretch it and use perm rods at the end

🤣🤣🤣 sis, i've faced the same issue i abandoned it 😂😂 i think we didn't need to use the cream

I do mine but I never add curling cream. All I do is add leave in conditioner on every strand. Then I twist loosely so it can become fluffy and bouncier. From what I can see, our textures are almost the same. Do it again and maybe do a three strand twist at the beginning, like 3-5 times and then twist to the end

Instead of using curling cream, use an oil based moisturiser next time. It won't give your hair that bounce you're looking for but it will stretch out your hair more. Then you you can retwist your parts after a few days to stretch it out even more. People always ask me if I used a flat iron or hairdryer to straightenen my hair and they're always shocked when I tell them, it's the twists. Continuously twisting your hair every few days is what gets it to stretch out naturally. Once you feel like it's stretched enough, THEN you can use a curling cream to give it that bounce and shine. But if you have long hair, stretching your hair might not be that important to you coz it looks long either way.

First to comment ❤😄 Notifications gang

I make my friends natural hair especially mini twists and it bounces,basically all I do is not making the twist too tight. I mean not twisting tight, make a loose twist.

Hey! It looks like you robe twist the hair. Sometimes with twist it’s try and error 😊 Also you could try and twist a bit more loosely on stretched hair. It definitely helps with volume

helpppp this video is so real 😭 mine looked so boneless 😭😭🥲

Tbh i dont see anything wrong with your twist,your hair is just short and have layers.because when my hair was shorter my mini twist used to look just like yours,but now they are longer they look fuller,and another thing that make any style i do look good i have a top heavy shape to my hair.

I spray my hair with water till it’s wet, then use 1/4 of a pea sized amount of this got2be glued stuff on each strand if that, less is more. My hair dries soft, the style lasts, and it is the Only thing that stops my hair from matting on itself. Can you do a video on how to do straight parts in the back of your head?

There's a technique to doing twists that'll comd out plump and don't twist too tightly so your hair can swell.

💫✨ My 1st time ever seeing your videos and I’m by no means, anybody’s professional hair 💆🏽‍♀️ consultant - - - but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if your hair is in a growing phase : longer, thus thinner looking !?! 👀 : That’s the consensus about my hair, at least. My hair changes with my body as the years pass by. I don’t use heat and yet the front is like “1a” (no ponies either; I twist 90% all over & I don’t even do half up, half down) ; continuing with you, though . . . Your hair is absolutely thick and beautiful and it looks so healthy! I had to do a replay on how it curled up when you released the twist!!) 👏😅 Your hair is just doing its unique thing. Keep up the great work on the videos and your hair care - you’ll never regret the effort as you learn! Keep laughing as you travel 🧭 on. 💫✨

I actually think it looks good 🤷🏾‍♀️😍

me too girl i though i was the only one man

I had the same issue when I did mine, my hair is dense but my hair strands are suuuper fine. I think this is a fine hair issue, I only had leave in and twisting gel in it and my results were actually the same. That being said I know twists are supposed to make your hair grow so I'm thinking this could be an under-wig style for me since I cant cornrow 😅

I can relate my dear but it doesn't stop me o still do it anyway

Hi Deborah, it's a fine hair thing o...I do mini twists with my fine hair and I just pack it as a ponytail and it's a wrap.

Girl I hear ya, I think my strand count is low.🤔 However I must say you are so cute it's adorable on you. I've got a hairstylist right here ready to do whatever for $50 because it's auntie but I want to twist it up naturally after this video.

I think it because you hair is damp. Im going to try mini twist tomorrow but i wash an moisturize my hair yesterday. So its not so shrinked its a little stretched so ill see if it makes mine turn out good

Yeah i feel like it's your fine strands because my hair doesn't turn out too juicy(as I don't have alot of hair) but it still turned out more juicy because i have fine, medium, thick strands of hair and low to medium density hair. I also feel like maybe the products have something to do with it aswell but I'm not really sure on that one.

Try on stretched hair. For finer hair. Do tinier sections. Then a little spray on them. The small shrinkage will make it look fuller

Always use water first though, Gorgeous ! Then product.

Try stretching with wider bands not the rubber bands 😅 But alsoooo mini twists can just shrink and be making you wonder what happened 😭😂 And next time you could try it on stretched hair Natural hair is a lot of trial and error😭😭😂😂

I think the problem is moisture overload since you have high-porosity hair.

You need water. You should spray each section and put product on each section before twisting. And by section I mean each mini twist.

Have you seen Jenn Jackson’s videos? She has some helpful ones on mini twists on coily hair

Sweetheart, it all depends on hair density, length and we'll nourish hair and then you need to twist it a bit loosely. You hair looks good though

it looks cuute on you & it looked even better after you removed the rubber bands. However, I understand your experience because I just did twists, and I think they're flat ( and I have really thick hair), which is how I landed on your video because I've been scouring the internet for help. However, my friends think it looks soo cuute on me.... It really does look cute on you though. I wonder if you kept it in for a couple more days if it would fluff up at the roots and give more volume.

Looks good 2 me!

😂😂😂girl I relate

Frankly, I think you’re giving yourself a needlessly hard time. There’s literally nothing wrong with your lovely head of hair. It’s just how finer strands look in mini-twists. If you’re wanting a fuller look, try circular free-parting. I promise you will love that ❤

This is the issue with my own hair, my hair is scanty, low density, fine thin hair, my mini twists look horrible without extensions. So far on youtube, I’ve searched extensively, I’m yet to see anyone with hair as thin and scanty as mine.

Doing your own hair is something else 😂😂 but it wasn’t bad .

The hair didn’t look too bad at the end tho 🫠😂

What is your hair porosity?
