If your starting with short hair twists deffo grow your hair at a quicker rate but once it’s long enough to braid then that’s the best option

If I ever wash my hair in twists, oh my god, it would be one hell of a disaster with tangles and knots. Medium braids and mini braids for me all the way no problem. I rather spend the time putting them up and taking braids down. Last me longer, less time in my hair and I find it very versatile.

Plaits/Braids are easier for me. Once installed tuck the ends inside the base of the braid. Stays moisturized longer under wig cap and plastic bag.. Take down is easier after a month's time. Btw CC you remind me of a mix of Tatyana M. Ali and Zoe Saldana 😀 Thanks for sharing 🙂 (1 Tim 2:9,10;1 Peter 3:3,4) 🙏🏾🙌🏾☝🏾🙋🏾♀️💜💐

Great video!! I love the length of braids, but the time involved both in the install AND the takedown means I do mini braids very rarely. (Chunky braids are a staple and I generally wear anywhere between 1-5 braids on any given week.) Chunky twists don't work super great in my hair, so I tend to default to minitwists, and I've gotten them down to just under two hours! 🙌🏼 I still can't go more than a week with either style, but I find they're equally versatile for me when it comes to creating secondary styles. Your hairstyle is really pretty in this vid. ❤

I’m 66 and I now gets cramps in my old hands so that why I prefer twists, easier take down but I also like individual medium braids, just takes longer to take down. Somehow, I feel twists can cause hair breakage more than braids cause of how the individual twists moves around.

Thank you for this video! I’ve had mini twists in for two weeks, but my hair is at an awkward length where it’s too short for all of them to get in a bun, and my strands are fine so they won’t lie down lol. Moisturizing my ends and my hair just makes the frizz worse I’m going to wash the mini twists and turn them into braids and see how it looks, maybe the thinness wont be too bad.

Twists hands down! All of the reasons you gave regarding the not so positive side of braids contributes to why I don’t where my hair braided. Another issue for me, is that braiding and taking my fine hair down from braids can be too rough on my fine strands. Do you think that mini twists are more damaging to fine hair than larger ones?
@CoilyDiaries 7 ай бұрын
@@rinawallace1962 I think the damage would be dependent on how you care for the hair while in twists. The nature of finer hair make it so that larger twists are gentler but smaller ones wouldn’t be that far behind

I think i might switch my hair to braids instead of the twist just because of the density and length of my hair. Right now my hair is low neck length length however my daughter's hair is a little past her neck and she has high desity hair so her twist always turn out beautiful mine on the other hand is something different. Lol, i think it's just that i might need to put my twist a little bigger because of my low density hair I'm not sure however I know twist are trial an error so I'll keep at it till I figure out which size fits me best.😊
