Ummmm, it's still locked. I tried yarn twists a few years ago, but when I got into the sun, the Brown yarn looked "unnaturally reddish". BUT it could have been the quality of the K-Mart yarn I used.

The hair color of the yarn is pretty. I like this style. How long are you going to keep them in?

 

[Tamrin]

They are beautiful and I love the color and thickness. I have on concern being its yarn. Do you have a moisture concern being that yarn (in my opinion) is like cotton). How do u keep ur hair moisturized without the wetness? I would love to do these but dry hair scares me. Let me know how it goes. I may jump on the wagon.

 

[PretteePlease]

longday said just what i was thinking re moisture


did you do them yourself? they look nice

 

[Halimah]

I'll let you know about the moisture process Im just testing it out right now but I spray a leave-in condt in 2x a day if anyone have any reccomendations plz let me know. And I will probaly keep them in for almost 2mons or less.

TIA

I will be getting some yarn braids next month. You have to purchase the right type of yarn, not wool or cotton - 100% acrylic is recommended.

It's okay to still spritz the yarn - it is a fabric and machine washable; therefore, it can get wet. Roshini.net recommended using fabric softer to spritz on the length of the hair focusing on the ends of the yarn. That a bit risky for me, so I plan to use a little Oyin Juices & Berries twice a day, but not too much since it contains glycerin and this can lead to buildup on my scalp.

Thankfully, there are several natural salons here in Memphis and I found someone who knows what they're doing. I'm too lazy to do my own...

Cute yarn twist sweetie! I wore them for a year when I did the crown n' glory method.....loved EVERY min of it.

They look nice. How did you get the ends to curl around like that?

They look great. I'm motivated to try this.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

I was wondering about the curls too.............

 

[lawyer2be371]

yes please do tell how did you get those curls

 

[mahoganee]

Your twists look great! I put yarn twists in my hair last summer and just sprayed them with a leave in conditioner twice a day and my hair wasn't dry at all when I took them out. I too want to know how you got the curls on the end.

I love it! This is the first time I've seen yarn twists that aren't black. I've been wanting yarn twists for a while now but I cannot find yarn to match my hair color (I have sandy-orange color in the front and dark brown in the back...all natural). What brand and color is the yarn you used for your twists

Bumpity bump, we're still waiting for an answer to the "curl" mystery.
