Twisties have become more popular for
children as well as adults. They seemingly are a lot easier than the
traditional braiding. They are easy to do.
There are a variety of twistie styles
available. Now since the creation of utube, there are numerous
tutorials to show you how to hair twist. There is no longer the
mystery of how to do it or even how to take care of it.

Sengalese Twists
Did you know that there are a variety
of twists that you may choose to do on you or your children's
hair? Also, boys as well as girls are wearing twisties. The
Sengalese Twists is a very fine type of twisting of the hair. As you
will learn some twisties are quite large and thick known as Havana
Twists. Latoya White at naturalhairrules.com talks about the
importance of purchasing the correct hair for your braid extensions.
She emphasizes that the Marly or Havana Hair is kinkier and easier to
braid and not so easy to unravel. She further suggests twisting as
you twist.

Havanna Twists
Now Havanna Twists are the very large
twists. I call them the jumbo twists. Nicole at essence.com. emphasizes the importance of not putting too much pressure on the
edges and not leaving the twists in too long. Too much pressure can cause hair breakage. She further adds that
six weeks should be the maximum to leave them in.
Although I prefer straight hair to
curly hair, I do like to see others that are able to wear the twists
style. I have family members that wear the style quite well and they
look very good in the style too.
Best Twist Out Ever
Proper Care
Do you wrap your children's hair with a
satin bonnet or pillowcase? According to Kesha at WeGotKidz.com, you
should do so. Since a scarf will not stay on most kid's head while
they are sleeping, you may prefer satin pillowcase. She further
adds the reasoning is that cotton pillowcases absorb all of the good
moisture from the hair.

Just keep in mind twisties are really
simple to do and children usually love them. Have fun while doing
them and enjoy the new look.

Our grandson could have used these when he was younger. He gets his hair cut very short now, but when he was little it was long and the tightest corkscrew curls we've ever seen. So cute!
