Quick & Easy Protective Style for Short Natural Hair | 2 Strand Twist Style

This light rude This is what I deal with when I film with natural lighting Yeah, I'm sure you can't even see me Hey guys and welcome back to my channel Today is going to be a very quick tutorial on this hairstyle right here So in my last video I was wearing this hairstyle and y'all were kind of like girl What is the tea with the hair like what how did you achieve this look honey? How did you? What's going on? Let us know so today. I'm gonna let you know for the most part I literally just throw my hair into twist throw it in a little ponytail because my hair can like sort of kind of fit in a ponytail now and I wear this all week because it allows me to leave my hair alone, and it's just easy it allows my hair to just like Chill I think it's appropriate for work I think it's appropriate for like going out even I like add some jewels and things whenever I want it to be a little bit More fancy if I don't want to look so basic But yeah for the most part like this is literally how I wear my hair twenty four Five before we get into the tutorial be sure to hit that subscribe button If you are not already subscribed that you can see more videos by And also don't forget to give this video a thumbs up because it is free and 99 cost you absolutely nothing So without further ado, let's just hop on into the video because I'm rambling per usual Hello, I look a mess I know So I have already done almost the first full half of my Twists basically I am starting off on completely dry hair, so I washed my hair yesterday, and I put it into 12 chunky twists so like four sections of four twists And then I took each twist and I stretched it so say like I you know take a twist Put it all the way like stretched it all the way across my head and then secured it with a bobby pin And basically what that does is make sure that your hair dries stretched I have taken all my bobby pins out and as you can see like my hair is still pretty stretched It's not like this short Which is like what it would be if I hadn't put the bobby pins and let it just shrink right back up So basically what I do is I take one twist so as you can see this twist Here, I'm gonna take this and this is what I start out with so I essentially just take that twist out See how big the section is I like to make my twists fairly small like medium to small I like to get either two or three twists out of each like larger twist just depends on how I'm feeling that day First I just take some water. I spritz some water in my hand about two squirts I don't put it directly on my hair because I don't want it to be so much water that it shrivels right back up So I put two spritz of water in my hand kind of shake it out a little bit And then rub my hands together and then apply the apply that to the section Make sure I'm really getting my ends and the entire length of my hair And this is just so that we're not manipulating our hair while it is completely dry because you know That's a no-no, but we also don't want it to be completely wet or else We won't get the length of the twists so once I'm done with that I take one of my favorite leave-in conditioners. This is the Alakade Naturals lemongrass, and I'll spritz about two sprays I Always get this stuff in my eyes like I don't know what's wrong with me I spritz out two sprays rub my hands together and then do the exact same thing applying it to that section and getting the length of my hair and Kind of finger detangling as I go as well So once I'm done with that I Take a Smaller section and this is gonna be what my twist will be so this is generally the size I like to go for as you can see there So this section will be split into two more twists this top section, but for now. We're just gonna put that away I'm going to take my all-time Favorite Twisting butter if you have not seen my last video make sure you watch it. I talk about this and literally every other Natural hair product that I have in my natural hair collection, but this is my favorite twisting butter apart from my homemade Shea whipped shea butter, which I don't have because I'm too lazy to make I take about mmm a dime size or so amount of that and I apply that from ends to roots and then massage that in Really really really well, and then once I'm done with that. I have merely just twist so Something that I want to note with my twist is number one Make sure that your two sections are as equal as possible And then you want to twist very taut from the root all the way to the end so you see like I'm I don't know If you can see that, but I'm trying to get it very taut all the way from the root and then I smooth my hair down as I twist and that just helps to keep the length and make sure that your hair is not shrinking While it's in the twist if I don't know if that makes any sense. I don't even know if that like it's really real But yeah, so I just do that all the way down and then I Twirl the end around my hand or around my finger, and then I like to just twist the entire thing around my finger I don't know. I honestly don't think that this does anything, but in my mind I think it helps to keep the twist elongated. It doesn't I promise It's it's a mental thing So then I just keep on doing the exact same thing and I'm probably gonna speed this up Because you know It's simple Yeah So or maybe we'll just do this one so again. It took my omegi twisting butter about a dime size amount Just applying that to the length of my hair while also finger detangling split this section into two equal parts Twist from the root very taut, but not so tight that your hair is gonna fall out because Why would you do that and then? Keep twisting down and smoothing our hair as we go and Literally guys, that's it like that's how I do this hairstyle, but the key is to do this on dry hair clean hair Dry hair that has been stretched, and you can stretch it However, you want you can blow-dry it if you want to I wouldn't recommend that I Just recommend putting it in chunky twists and using bobby pins to pin them down Stretched as I talked about before But that is the key because if you do this on dry hair, or if you do this on wet hair I guarantee you your twists are gonna shrink up and it's gonna look like You ain't got no hair basically so yeah, so I added my omegi twisting butter to this Section finger detangled and now I am going to twist tops all the way from the root down twirling the ends Make sure that it doesn't unravel and then twirling the entire twist down the length of the twist That didn't make any sense, but yeah, so literally that's all I do and then I Just keep it moving so one thing I do like to do when I get to the Edges the twists that are gonna be on this like front edges is I like to take my main choice edge control and This isn't necessarily to like super schlep my edges It is just to make sure that they like lay flat and are not just disrespecting people You know yeah, mainly me, so I just like to take a little bit on the front edge and Then also like on this top just because I want the twist to be like very smooth I want like I want the front ones to appear super smooth separate into two equal parts and then twist And that just gives your twist a more like clean put-together Appearance versus like looking like see we just walking out of the house like this actually looks like a style You know and not just like oh, she didn't like taking out her twists Even though like really we're gonna keep these for like a week because we don't like taking out our twists So that is what that looks like and you can see it's super smooth Okay, so once we get up to this piece right here This part is crucial once we start getting to these these front section twists up here because you want to make sure that Your part is straight because if it's not straight again, it's just gonna look like oh She threw some twist on her head and didn't feel like doing her twist out, so Yeah, so and it doesn't have to go like straight all the way back But just to like where people are gonna be looking at it Okay, yep Straight enough, and then I'll just put that back up take that for layers and Continue to twist on this side Okay Girl what? Kind of okay was that okay, so this is what my hair looks like Once the first side is done. You can see it's super Moisturized and juicy and well Yeah, I'll give you guys a close-up So that is what the first side looks like I literally do the exact same thing to the second side so honestly girl you can't speak today, so honestly, we're just gonna skip over that and Okay, so this is what my hair looks like when it's all done for some reason I feel like I have way more twist on this side than this side, but Whatever it's So yeah, this is what my hair looks like honestly You can leave it like this, or you could you know like do two pigtails right here You can like pull some all the way to the back like do some half-up half-down like at this point You can do whatever you want with it. I don't know why I have some sticking up right here My hair just doesn't want to cooperate with me today girl Sit sit So I just like to take a scrunchie And then I try to pull back as much that like will naturally fit into a ponytail I essentially just like Pull it back. I don't tie it more than like two or three times because I don't want it to be too much But yeah, so you see I have this little ponytail here And then what I do with the rest of this stuff is I just take some bobby pins and pin it back So I try to take a few that are like a similar length like this cooperate with me today and Then I literally just pin it back like so and Then something else I like to do is I don't necessarily like do my baby hairs with a edge control But I do just like to brush them down a little bit Because I don't want to put any more edge control than what I've already put on here But I don't want my baby hair to look tacky either so it's just like that so It's not necessarily like laying your baby hairs, but it's just brushing them so that they look a little bit more Flowy and tamed, but I'm not putting any more edge control or anything like that like I've put more than enough Yeah, so you can just kind of add these wherever you want to add them if you want to add them So I'll like add one over here back here Yeah All right guys that is it for this video I hope you are really enjoyed it and I hope it was super helpful in giving you a cute simple protective style to wear during the week and Yeah, if you enjoyed it again, don't forget to give it a thumbs up because it is free 99.
