tea way too much twisting not enough ripping but thats ok they will dread anywaysbut when u twist and rip u twist once for every 5 10 15 rips u rip way way more and only retwist every now and thendid u use some gel or wax otr something or is it just the flash that gives a shiny appearance?but dont worry about em being just twisted unless they fall apart completely if they just hold the sections (without the bands) they will dread fineif they do fall apart ..dont twist 2 sections together (like what it looks like u did aka 2 strand twists) instead twist 1 section as a whole then split in 2 in random locations pulling them apart repeat put em together resplit (think of it not as spliting in 1/2 instead randomly like 1/3-2/3 1/4-3/4 1/2-1/2 so u have diferent ammounts in each new section for each pull do that a bunch of times b4 retwisting

i dunno who that isbut i pay absolutely no attention to any celebs assumming thats what he is since u expect ppl to know who he is..lolwell it depends on how well they hold together really but couple months will make alotta difference if they hold together 1st few weeks then they'll be doin great in a couple months but thats to say dreading-dreaded but not matureif theyre starting to matt up good already then thats a good sign and a few weeks should show some real improvement Cade said:
