No i'm not going to a salon i actually have someone nice enough to do them for me most ppl would shut me down they think it will take 2 long but i just have one small problem for some reason she thinks she's doing them wrong and needs to see a video on how to do them.Do you have any suggestions of any popular products that can help add moisture to my hair idk if i showed you but this is thecloseststyle i can find to what i want my hair to look like i just want them a little neater i'm looking at the twist and rip method do you think that will work for this style?

just do like u did 80-100 times u dont want no tools or anythung but your fingers

in fact u can just let it dread and seperate into 80-100 as it dreads but i have a feelimg you would preffer to control it more so just twist sections up then leave em alone thats it

only retwist if they fall completely apart not if theyre loose or have loose roots or look puffy only if they come apaert completely

ok thanks i could of been looking to much into it when its really simple so i don't need anyrubber bandsor clips right? o and what about beeswax or greecei know i need a certain type of shampoobeforei twist thats what i meant by tools sorry i should of be more clear in my question ? i'm getting them done tomorrow i'll be sure to post pics to show you
