Short Hair Twist Tips

The Pros and Cons of Mini Twists for Natural Hair  

If you are looking for the pros and cons when considering a short hair twist style, then you need to read the following post.

Mini twists are basically tiny twists, that are smaller than the diameter of a pencil, and in some cases, mini twists are that small that your hair may appear loose and not actually twisted.

The good:

Mini twists do last longer, from 3 – 6 weeks than their larger counterparts. And, because they are smaller, they tend not to frizz and age that fast. Which is good news for people that want to leave their natural hair alone for weeks at a time.

As mentioned above, not only do mini twists last longer, they allow for more versatility with regards to styling. Because they are small, it is easier to achieve a range of styles than their larger twist counterparts.

The bad:

Mini twists, however, come with a downside, which is they do take several hours to a day or two to both install and takedown. This can be challenging if you be somewhere or you just don’t have the time to wait. In terms of patience, watching some movies or television shows will help you to pass the time. When it comes to having to be somewhere, some naturals prefer to begin their mini twists in the front, so they are able to “fake the finished look” if they haven’t completed the twists.

And the ugly:

Single-strand knots and locking will occur more with mini twists than with larger twists, especially for people that have tightly-coiled, kinky strands. In order to avoid this, try not to wear this style for more than 4 weeks. Five or even six weeks is pushing it to the limit, however, if you think your hair can take it, by all means, go for it.
