I made my first twist video! This video is a composition of my digital camera clips and photos of me twisting dried natural hair. Twists are a very common hairstyle usually performed on naturally coily hair. 
They give your hair a much needed break from damaging hairstyling methods that usually involve the use of direct heat. It may be hard to do twists on your own hair at first, but with practice they become second nature. Twisting dry hair usually takes longer than twisting wet hair. In this video, I try to emphasize how to detangle hair with a comb or with fingers, how I part hair, and how I twist the hair (I pass the hair strands from "right" to "left".
I am showing just one of many ways to twist hair... the best thing is to develop your own technique that you feel the most comfortable with. Through these videos, my goal is to show people how versatile and different twists will look depending on what kind of hair texture you have. Twists on naturally coily hair will look different on twists done on relaxed hair (and yes, relaxed girls can sport natural hairstyles as well).

Lovely result! I didn't realize it was such a simple process to twist natural hair. My only concern or should I say question is how long can one have it and won't it be badly tangled by the time you are ready to take it off?
Thank you Flo. If your hair is completely, I don't believe you need worry abt tangling…far as my experience.
I carry my twists for a week, 2 at most. & like u said, it is really a simple process so 1 can afford to carry it for just a week. :-)
