I really need to learn how to flat-twist man! Ugghhhh!!! I LOVE this style! I found it last year I think. Her hair appears to have been prepped with a blow-out and then flat-twisted towards the center back of her head and finished with regular twists.
Then, the length of the twists were bunned. Looking at this again is really making me contemplate going to someone to get this done … and adding hair for fullness and longevity, if need be (shoo … I don’t care)! What a pretty, feminine and easy summer style!
What say ye? Perfect style for sundresses and hot, humid summer days, don’t ya think?
(p.s. Anyone know of any really good, Flat-Twisting for Idiots YouTube tutorials? Help a sista’ out!! ;))

This is a very nice style! I figured out flat twists by watching whoissugar and lilith moon. I’m no pro, but I can now do them and make them look neat.

beautiful style! flat twisting is easier and faster than cornrows, imo! from Nikki at BBB: “Simply part a small amount of hair at the beginning of the section you are twisting, split it into two and cross the right piece over the left piece, pinch off a small amount of hair evenly across and add it to your new left section. Continue pinching off a little hair, adding it to each section and cross over until you get to the end of the flat twist. Keep a good grip on the end of the flat twist so it does not come undone.”

Rhonda, I think you said the same thing when I posted this on FB a while ago! LOL!
Sawah, I definitely see the similarity! When I first saw it, I think I did a double take … like, “Is that me? I don’t remember doing that hairstyle.” LMBO!!! I only hope that my hair would look that full, long and pretty! I really want to try this!

Love Laila! I think I’ve watched that video before and still wasn’t getting it, but I’ll watch it again more closely. The part that messes me up is the pinching the hair … am I pinching it from the outside, from the inside? I think she looks like she is pulling the whole section of hair under the twist to make the next turn, so that may be my problem, I was only trying to pull from one side of the other. I’ll try again!

I know that you enjoy the hairstyles from Lilithedarkmoon, but I just came across another youtuber ‘CuteGirlsHairstyles’ and she does some great styles on her channel.
Even though it’s on a child, this hair style that the mom did is gorgeous :). I think this would look really pretty on you or any nieces that you might want to try this on hint hint…

LOL!! … Uggg, I would LOVE to have their thickness. And as to having thin hair, mine is fine with medium density, I guess. So, I am not opposed to adding hair to make it look as beautiful as this;).
