    Sis, this outfit is gorgeous 💛
    Totally agree with this. I've been a twisted natural for years, and I realised mini twists were not my thing because my hair would just grab any opportunity to tangle and loc. So most of the time, I just have about 8 chunky twists, and that works well because I have fine hair 🙂 Keep the videos coming, you're doing great! 🎉

      I've learned over time washing in twists is definitely not for me. The tangling is horrendous but it's probably to do with my twisting technique. I've got better and more confident over the years, but some of us are more gifted than others and I've had to accept the limits of my ability. Even washing in mini-braids leaves me with lots of ssks at the ends which leads to midshaft splits in the vicinity. Now I finger-detangle with some kind of prepoo, carefully wash in 4 sections, then braid in 4 under the shower. I allow that to dry overnight or semi-dry then stretch with my revair. Then back into twists or whatever style. My hair is so much happier now.

    I had minitwists the whole of last year and my hair definitely grew, however i didn't like the fact that after every washday i had to retwist my hair so i decided to try minibraids this year and i love them. I am onto the 3months challenge and this is the 2nd month i haven't rebraided my hair and still looks great given the fact that i wash my hair every 2 weeks.

    I love the way you describe the aesthetics of mini twists. I feel exactly the same way! I have worn twists since 2013, when I big chopped. But, for many years I was a twist out girl. For about two years now, I have become comfortable in wearing my twists, mainly tucked in, in simple styles, much like I wore as a child…. Your suggestions for how to care for our hair are perfect for the mindset I have today. While I have not made it to a month between wash days, I am now washing my hair every three weeks and loving it!!!

    Yes, braids are time consuming 😢
    But they keep my hair more stretched than twists.
    And at least I could keep my hair in the braids a bit longer than the twists.
    So yeah, I guess I'll just be a braided natural 😊

I'm already one month into it and I have seen growth, although i do spritz with water every 4days and apply the chebe which leaves it moisturize for almost the whole week. Can't wait to see how much growth i would retain at the end of the 3months challenge.

    Im trying to do small to medium over mini to micro twists. Though I'm looking into small to medium braids.
    The takedown is the worst however the metal part of a rattail comb has SAVED my hair, my length and most importantly, MY SANITY and has allowed me to continue to do small braids and twists without extensions.
    I find braiding the root, then twisting down works best for me a conbo of both, each time the length of the braid chsnges before twisting up. When hair gets a bit longer, will chsnge up from braid twists to full braids.
    As part of the challenge like Coily Diaries says hsve 2 styles (for me twists and braids) and go between the two styles for the remainder of the year while using my gyclerin rose water and castor oil combo (THHHHHEEE TRUTH BABY!) For everyday moisture then use leave in for weekly hydration and deep conditioner and hotoil for deep hydration.
    Keep it simple (telling myself this!) and my hair WILL flourish. Ase

    Mini twists look great, and I love them on other people. I'm only good for about 6 to 8 large twists and I'm done that uses up all the patience I have for twisting!😆 After that, I pinned them up and kicked myself for thinking it would be different for me this time. I do okay parting from ear to ear, twisting the top and bottom halves, wrapping them around each other, and pinning them up. It's easy and I can handle it.😉
