What is Twisting? (Preventing Damage Questions)

Hello!

I just read SE's post on preventing dreads from thinning and breaking. One of the things to avoid is twisting. I'm sorry if it's really obvious, but what is twisting? I want to make sure that I'm not doing it!

Also, my baby dreads are trying to congo constantly, so I have one bead on almost every dread. I don't have that many sizes, so some may be a little tight. Could this cause damage? I tried wearing them every other day, but it was too time consuming taking them out and putting them back on.

Thank you!

twisting is generaly only done on african haior although some salons stupidly attempt it on other types

they twist it very tight at the roots cake in gel pin it down and bake it hardening the gel

the roots get extremely tight and cause thunning

if you do no root maintenance other then seperating then you dont need to worry
