I gotta say after watching the below video Dr. Nina aka BeautifulBrwnBabyDol seriously has me ready to go out and get some of that hair she used for her twists and its 12.16AM.
I am not an extensions kind of girl, but for a while I have been really looking for a solution for my hair that does not require that I touch it daily. We have recently launched our protective styling challenge here on BHI so this came right on time for those struggling on styling ideas.
Nina’s hair is light comfortable and absolutely gorgeous. For the tutorial and if you want more tips, and some pros and cons watch the video below.
Here are five random tips for those wearing or twist or braid extensions
1. If you are relaxed it is better if you wait two weeks after a fresh relaxer because your hair is still very sensitive and weak after the chemical process. Give yourself some time, to strengthen your hair using protein and hot oil treatments, whatever it takes to keep your strands strong enough to withstand braids or twists.
2. You can absolute do the Green House Effect on braid and twist extensions*, it helps your hair to retain moisture, and contributes to the over all health of your hair and may just increase the hair growth rate.
3. Human hair extensions* hold more moisture and synthetic hair extensions* strip the hair of moisture so it is important that your hair is very moisturized if wearing synthetic hair, every day being the ideal.
4. Spritz your hair to maintain moisture levels, and don’t be afraid to make your own mix. Water and your favorite oils* would work, just try your own formulation that works well for your hair. Alternatively try these two recipes that work great at both moisturizing and strengthening your hair.
5. Protective styles are not permanent, if you leave them in too long things start to get counter productive to your length goals. So for twists or braid extensions a great rule of thumb is keeping them in for two months maximum and at least 3 weeks to get length retention benefits. After you take your extensions* out, wash and condition your hair thoroughly.

I used to do these in my daughter’s hair. Her hair was down to her waist after wearing them on & off for a year. They are good for teenagers.
Nice!
I think they are nice…I’m going to have to start wearing them myself again…use to when I was younger…
Pretty girl but not the twists
You are in the minority with your comment. The twists are beautiful….maybe a little to long but they are natural looking and very pretty. What’s not to like?!
She loves her twists and this page…thanks for all the inspiration
If you twist then twist the hair will stay in better it forms a tighter rope.
I want my hair like that..I was just thinking of how I wanted my hair braided into the zillons but now long twist too..
Love…love!!
What kind of hair is this
Aren’t the smaller ones considered Senegalese twist
Nice hair
Aren’t these Senegalese? My how history repeats itself…
You did a good job if you did them yourself, and plus they don’t look like everybody else
these dont look like Senegalese or havana twists..
love this style i really want to learn how to do the myself
NO MA’MA SHE WILL NOT! I got her !!! This isn’t it.
Who’s doing this please post a #
This is a really cute style. Love it!
What’s the difference between Senegalese twists and Havana twist?
She looks like an Egyptian Goddess!
Those are not hard to do, partially braid then twist I do them all the time.
That is so ugly, ya’ll need to stop lying because most of you would never wear that on your hair.
I wore this style and I just did my daughter’s hair like this, she loves it too.
These have been out since 1995. That when I started doing them but smaller.

Denise White Coley did she start out with braiding first? If so tacky.
Nothing exciting about it.
Erika Davis-Sharpe…yes she did! Not professional looking at all!
No ma’am ! Denise White Coley
These are ok. But when i do mine i like the twists to be tighter and its braided down a little too much for my tastes. Someone asked abou hair. It looks like a brand called Xpressions. Its a soft synthetic hair.
Mumm.. idk… Dont look professional at all..to much braided.. looks OK down but just think when its time to style it up.. less braid to NO braid at the start
She should of stuck with the africans and had them do it these look sloppy
They are cute, I would like them thinner, and not so long.
Cuute;*
gonna try these this weekend on my baby
Gonna need a client for these! JUST learned how to do them with the Bobbi BOSS yesterday!
not cute
Yes
Cool
I like her weight loss videos, but for hair I just don’t think she should be making videos any longer. Her hair been the same length for yrs. which shouldn’t be especially with her healthy diet
i like hair styl
So excited to try these braids
Very nice
Next protective style
Beautiful
What’s the name of these braids?
Yes…Looks very easy…
