Hair-lo lovelies,
Follow me on Insta @Naturally_HIgh_Hair. After having loved the longevity I got from rope twists but not being so fond of the flatter look they gave me, I decided to try loose rope twists. In this video, I give you an update on my life in Switzerland, and show you my new twisting technique. I hope you find this video entertaining!

I think they all have their pros and cons, but aesthetically, the loose twists are still my fave. I just love volume and I love 4c texture. It’s the most attractive thing in the world to me. But your hair is gorg no matter what you do! Thanks for posting!
J C I agree.
Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts and kind words!
And loose twists are also my favourite but they’re not as practical. 😭
This video was awesome! I’ve noticed that a lot of people do their twist differently but no one has broke it down like this !
EZELL RAZ thank you!!! 😘
I LOVE the new twist method!!! Will be doing!!!!
Timetrae yaaaay! Please tag me on Instagram @Naturally_High_Hair when you try it!
You should definitely do an updated wash and twist maintenance video especially for this set of twists. For the summer I've started wearing mini braids. I love them but it's just the takedown is horrible lol.
Okay, it’ll be next! Yeah they pretty low maintenance but takedown is a nightmare! I hope you’re already preparing your CZcams playlist for the big day! 😘
I speak English, Swahili "und ein bisschen Deutsch". Love from Kenya. Kindly do a life in Switzerland video.
This is a great video showing the differences between the twists. I did a few hybrid twists back when you started rope twisting, so that my hair would try to be as full as yours...then you up'ed your game with the REAL hybrid twists. I see what you did there... They look wonderful! Keep these videos coming!
From A to 4z thank you for your comment. I’m flattered 😊So now you can try twisting ‘normally’ and see how that works out for you. I’m really curious - please tag me on insta when you share your pics. Actually, why not just try loose twists? X
Love the hybrid twists. Great to see the four types of twists together like that. Love the volume of loose twists but they don’t last long enough x
If only my hair would grow long enough to do this.
My second language is American Sign Language (ASL)
Yo! That's like, my firstish secondish!
Twists are ultimate amazing. All my life I've had braids. Once I returned natural and started twisting my hair, the growth has been amazing ❤
Looove your accent.
I used to do loose twists and they are so beautiful but take too darn long lol I will revisit in the winter when I shouldn’t be touching it too much anyway lol
By the way your Demos and explanation are stellar. You make a great teacher 👩🏫
Fine Natural Hair and Faith thank you for your kind words! If you’re looking for a longer lasting style, loose twists aren’t the best option as they age really fast. I’d go for hybrid twists if I were you.
I spent 6 weeks in Germany and loved it! I can understand more German than I speak. Although I did learn to speak enough German to get around by myself and shop.
Well done! Dein deutsche ist sehr gut. I live in Germany. 👍🏿
Vielen Dank!
I'm a non-braider natural so I really liked this video. Fave new video 😍. I think I will try the hybrid twists this weekend. I have been struggling lately to retain length, especially in my crown area. I used to do twists every single week and had lots of length retention, I'm gonna get back to it. Btw, your hair is goals 😍. I have 3c/4a hair but love how beautiful the texture of 4c hair is, its like a work of art especially in beautiful updos that really emphasize the texture.
Aw thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! How's the style holding up? I imagine the twists are still in?
wow learnt so much! I started washing my hair and maintaining twists within the last year but hadn't really done much research about twisting styles. definitely going to be trying these styles and seeing what works for me
Hello naturally high I will try the last twist. I'm learning thank you for show the the difference of the twist
Rosita Johnson yay! Please tag me in your Instagram posts when you try them! @Naturally_High_Hair
I’m glad you’re finding your happy medium.
Rope twist and hybrid twist were my faves!
Miriam I. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What did you like about them?
Naturally High for one, they are easy to do! And they look pretty 😊
Yasss please do a life in Switzerland vlog!!!!!!
I like the thicker ones! I di another version that I guess developed out of laziness lol. I braid the root 2-4 times then rope twist loosely, but only with my right hand. So, I twist the piece of hair then put it over the other one with my right hand, then do it again for the other piece that's now in my right hand. At the end, I do normal twists loosely to prevent tangling. So, it lasts long, but I still get the looser twist look. :)
Chin926 ah so effectively, you get a very similar result and develop decent motor movement in your right hand. :)
Naturally High Yup! I get so tired twisting and turning both hands lol
I've never done these. I have seen loose twists and wondered how people were doing them. This tutorial is super helpful! I'm going to try one.
Also, I know a little bit of a lot of languages, especially Spanish and ASL. My goal has always been to learn 13 in my life and I've been slacking lately. You've motivated me to get back on it!
Well explained and clear video by a well spoken, intelligent and beautiful person. I wish I had found you earlier and saved myself time and headache! 4C ladies, this is the holy grail of twist protective styling!
Aww it’s my East African hair twin! What you see in me is a reflection of what exists in you! Thank you for all the love! Want to collab? Your content brings me lots of joy, not just the hair but also the metal. 😝😘😘😘😘😘
Loose rope twists (hybrid) or loose senegalese twists are my winner. That's what feels natural and effortless to my hands when I twist. My finger naturally twirl and twist at the same time and I don't have to think about it. Depending on how long I want to keep the twists, I either start with a braid or a twist. I have tried all the other twists and all types of hybrid versions of those twists combined together or with braids (plaits) but I always come back to loose rope twists. My hair is full, big with thick strands but it tangles very easily. When I do loose or normal twists, they start locking up within a week if I don't oil them every night. So twirling the hair before twisting made perfect sense to me. Plus I like the neatness of the rope technique and the fullness of the loose one. For my hair, the install and take down are fast and easy and I don't end up with knotted and tangled hair. To prevent frizz and keep my twists longer, I clean my scalp with either baby wipes, witch hazel wipes or micellar wipes as needed. Even in twists I seldom wear my hair down. A satin scarf will prevent frizz while sleeping. The tight rope twisting technique is called Senegalese twist though most people believe the name comes from the extension, it actually comes from the technique. It doesn't matter the type of extension used( Marley, kinky twist, kanekalon...) If the goal is to achieve a neat tight smooth looking double strand twist then it is a Senegalese twist. Kanekalon hair is used the most simply because it's already smooth, very light and easier to work with. I like your explanation. Great job!
Will be trying that new technique before my move, thank you. You're an amazing teacher! I speak English, luganda and german. You did really well and you are learning fast, congratulations!
Rope twist and hybrid were my faves. I'll give it a try since it's hot out here.
I anchor with a braid then I 3 strand twist
Have you posted an updated wash and twist video? I always prepoo and wash my hair in sections but I've never actually washed with twists - I'll have to try it!
Letia @ Buclé
Sis game changer
Its like Senageles twist on natural hair. Nice..I will try it.
tribe Richards indeed!
Right! The correct name for what she's calling a 'rope twist' is truly the Senegalese Twist. We should always give credit to the country, the people and their culture when we appropriate their works/styles and call it always by its rightful name ...tightly or loosely twisted!
I currently do the anchor and then a 2 strand twist. They look great for a couple of days, 3 max and then they need twisting again. I tried this rope twist,.... slowly. but I like the look, flatter, longer and much more shiny. I shall be practising this, from now on. Thank you so much, for your excellent insight.
I'm learning thanks I will try the last one
Thank you so much for explaining twisting techniques so thoroughly! Great video, as usual! Wishing you the best for your new life in Switzerland!
Thanks for sharing this. I only ever did regular twists and then it was just to stretch my hair. I'm going to attempt the hybrid technique today!
Good info... would be also good to see a video of why you left the UK, what you did in Netherlands and what you're up to in Switzerland..
And a general comparison of the 3 countries..... did you live in Spain too?
My hair is fine but dense I will try the last two
Nikki Evans Yeah that’s how much hair is. So it can go from looking super flat to looking voluminous depending on the style and whether I comb my hair out.
The complexities of hair. 😍
It looks like I’ve been rope twisting my whole life
You are amazing, you are so good explaining!!
Yusbely Delgado aw that’s so kind of you! It’s something I worry I’m not good at so I appreciate your saying that! Have a wonderful week! 😘
I love you for making this T_T
I so needed this video. A step by step twist tutorial
Merci beaucoup Asha 😭❤
I just liked more your new technique ❤️❤️❤️😊😊☺️thank you❤️
I usually do the first twist but i will try the hybrid rope twist.
I love the side by sides and will try the loose rope twists!
Wow - I use to wear twists all the time - especially when the natural hair products back in the day were slim to none. Now I figured out the wash and go, but you got me very curious about the rope twists - especially for how elongated and shiny my hair would look 👀.
Shal Perk give them at try but be careful with cleansing as it can cause meshing when done with shampoo! Let me know how they turn out!
The 1st twist, it's simple enough. I never care for the rest, always seem difficult to learn hehe . I keep my hair just like the 1st twist everyday and redo ever week after wash days. I would pin it up or make other styles with my twist or i wear a wig until my alopecia grows out. I love your 4c hair. I am starting to love my 3c. I didn't like it before. I never understand, why people never love there 4c hair. I guess we all love other people hair, but our own.Thanks x
I normally do regular twists. But the new one looks good. Hi from Trinidad.
Number 4 is my favorite; great video!
Hey hi from trinidad. I myself have very long natural hair too and am planning to travel to europe too . Well I would like to travel the world. But for the time im stuck in beautiful trinidad. Anyway wish you the very best with your endeavors.
l l hiya! Thanks for your message and well wishes. Where do you want to head to first? Things could be worse - Trinidad’s gorgeous!
Why did you move from Germany, and how many different countries have you lived in?
Hello, new subie.
I've always done the roping twist but didn't even know it has a name. I discovered and liked the loose twist and I think I'll try that and the hybrid method.
Thank you for sharing!!
vlogs vlos vlogsssss,,,,,,,,lets see those beautiful countries ma'am!
You are very inspiring. I like the hybrid twists. Where are you off to after your time in Switzerland?
Thank you, Love! I don't know yet!
These twists could even give me a really good twist out
Star Baby they would but a twistout’s not worth all that effort in my opinion. I prefer to just do two big canerows and rock a braid out instead. That’s just me though. Would you do such small twists for a twist out?
Naturally High I would make them bigger but still do the loose rope twist technique
I will try the last one. Its looks good after a week . Please let we know haw its came after washibg day😉
Ever Smile I’m going to experiment so I can give you guys a tutorial on twist upkeep and cleansing.
Thank you!!
Hey, I love that you lived in the Netherlands and now you live in Switzerland. The scenery in your picture was beautiful. Wish you well on learning German, I am currently learning Russian. Я люблю по-русски.😄
Beautiful twists! Love them.
I live in the Netherlands..new subscriber here! Lol!
Alles goed schatje? You're beautiful..beeldschoon🌹❤
Learned something new, thank you!
You and your hair are so pretty. I will try the dry shampoo and the hybrid twists
Love your accent and your personality
Meine Güte, hört sich dein Deutsch gut an! Cool, wie viel Mühe du dir bei der Aussprache gibst! :)
Thank you will try all!
Have fun and let me know how they turn out!
You’re stunning!!
I am also learning German! ♡
Tina M. Same. 😉
Cool! How and how come?
Naturally High Learning by using Duolingo because I love the language (:
Love that you’re also linguistically inclined ! 😘
Ich lerne gerade deutsch, um in Deutschland zu arbeiten. Du hast gut deutsch gesprochen. Gut gemacht 👍🏽👍🏽.ich habe diese loose rope twist ausprobiert und es gefällt mir sehr.,
The characteristics you describe of your hair resemble my own Har. It knots and dries easily, and responds well to glycerin. Which leave in conditioner would you recommend? Thanks.
Looks like more work. I have fine hair so this may tangle my hair. But I like the loose and regular twists.
Dein Deutsch ist richtig gut. Schöne Grüße aus München :)
Sylvia Mukundwa-Sudbrack vielen Dank! 😘
Do a live every two months like a q and a or something
They are all beautiful. Have you tried 3 strand twist? TFS
They're on my to-try list but I hear they take longer... :/
I speak swedish, english and a little bit wolof. If youre thinking about visiting sweden let me know! :)
I speak Dutch, English and my mothertongue from Ghana. I love wearing twist so I might give this a try. My twist never looks that thick thou 🤔
Rachel Sakyi Which Ghanaian language do you speak m
Chin926 Twi and Akuapem
Wow! So many! You’re so lucky! Give it a go with bigger sections. 😘
Thanks so much for this great video!
Hello! I’m French, I speak English, Spanish, (mandarin) Chinese and I’m currently learning Korean.
Really good job on all of them
Rhomero thank you! 😊
Awesome on learning a new language!!! I like the regular twist and your hybrid twist! I do a version of the hybrid when I only need it to last 1 or 2 weeks. I've never tried loose twist... How is it finding products for your hair? Has the move been black girl positive? Meaning are products and culture readily accessible or due you have to hunt it out? I'm always interested and intrigued by the experiences of people of color in other countries/ continents!
MalkiaNzinga thanks for your comment. Yeah there are loads of black hair shops and all sorts of events and festivals you can get involved with. I’m extroverted and curious so for me it’s been relatively easy to find out what I can get up to. Every new place is an opportunity to learn about different people and yourself. So far, every country I’ve lived in (the U.K., Trinidad and Tobago, Spain, the Netherlands and now, Switzerland) has had its pros and cons and shaped me in one way or another.
Naturally High That is great! Glad you're enjoying yourself, exploring and expanding!
I'm French, speak Italian, Spanish, and the last language that I learned was English.
LaMarseillaise Sandy 😱😭🔥✊🏿
Nice video. I have always done the loose rope twist from root to ends. No tight rope twist at the base.
Oluwatosin Alo interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I speak Dutch, English, Spanish, Surinamese, Okanisi (tribal language in Suriname), basic Chinese, and basic French.
I usually do the normal twist, but I like the rope twist. I'll try this style.
Hace meses intenté usar twis pero fracase... no dure ni una semana tal vez mi cabello no estaba bien hidratos o que se yo, seguro algo falló. Besos y Saludos desde Colombia 😘😘
Aleyda Mina oh no! Qué tipo de pelo tienes?
I like the loose rope twist.
Quick question. At the ends of hybrid twist are you doing a tighter rope twist or a regular twist so it doesn't unravel? Hope you can answer soon as I'm thinking if trying it. Just removed my hair from mini braids, loved it and just taking a break before putting them back in. Would like to try this for a couple weeks
Hey! I trust twist normally without twirling when I get nearer to the ends. They always stay in. I twirl them with a bit of water and castor oil to give them a solid curl so they don't knot up.
My hair looks much neater and lasts longer in loose rope twists, thank you
Your German is fine ❤️😊
ich spreche deutsch. deine aussprache ist klar und gut :)
Thanks for the informative video! I have been natural for about 3 years and am considering to keep my hair in twists for improved length retention and maintenance. How long does it take for you to install these? How many twists do you create in total?
jessicastl happy to help! It took around 3 hours and they last over 3 weeks!
How to you keep your hair in winter becaus me in winter my nature hair is harder please help me
German was my easiest language class in school
Gracias por compartir 😘😘😘
English, Dutch, Papiamentu and Spanish
Lois Hassell are you from one of the ABC islands?
I'm from Sint Eustatius. It's one of the Dutch Caribbean islands.
Very interesting!
Ah yeah! I’ve heard of you lot! I didn’t know you also spoke Papamientu there though.
That's so cool! May I ask why you moved to Switzerland and how it compares to the Netherlands?
Louise W I moved here for personal and professional reasons: having studied molecular biology/biotechnology, Switzerland is an exceedingly attractive place to live. So far, I’m finding all the mountains, cliffs and lakes breathtakingly beautiful. The people are also polite and open-minded. It’s different from the Netherlands but since I’m already moderately comfortable with the language, I feel more comfortable here. Moral of the story: always learn the language of the country you live in!
I want to learn Swedish coz of my boyfriend😍 hoooorrrraaayy to me😂 hahaha!
Ofentse cool!! How do you plan on learning it? 😍
Naturally High Well I've downloaded an app and that's about it!😂 I haven't tried it out yet. I just want to know the basics, but if we get more serious along the way, I may possibly move to Sweden and go for Swedish classes...who knows?!😊
Ofentse that’s really exciting! I wish you all the best with that! Learning a new language isn’t easy but when the motivation is clear, it can happen really quickly. 😘
Can you please inform me how many twists do you install?
I speak English and I'm learning Korean as a second language and after that I have my eyes on finally getting fluent in French. then learn Chinese lol
Tracy Uwagbale fantastic!!! You go girly!
Life in Switzerland please
linda yarrington 😘noted!
I speak English primarily. Also speak a little Spanish (un poquito) and le francais, un petit peu.
I prefer the loose rope twist
do you no longer use the gel?
Hello nice vid
Ich liebe Deutschsprache ❤❤❤ I'm also learning. What are you doing to learn?
Hi, I really love your hair and your videos. I will be in Switzerland (Geneva) in August and it would be lovely to meet you if possible :-).

How often is she redoing her twists
traca shipman hiya! That varies depending on how much time I have but I try to re-do the front sections at least once a fortnight.
