Hey all ;D

I love twists, but i have no clue how to make them! u___u;

Are there any tutorials out there?

Take two strands of hair
Twist each strand in one direction
Then twist the strands together in the opposite direction

Or get one of these! The Conair QUICK BRAID.

They're quite cheap (if they still make them!)
I got one years ago, but I hardly use it... But if anyone requests twist falls... I shall!

what they said!

It is easy, just make sure you twist the hair tight. I like to overtwist when 'braiding' together so it is really tight, it will untwist a little when you let go but it will settle into a nice shape

Those twisty braid machines are wuite hard to get hold of now- ebay is your best bet!

I have one of those twisty machines, they work wonders. All you'll need is a braid sealer so that you don't get that lion tail effect

I don't know where you're located but if you're in the US and near a Big Lots store, and interested in the Conair Quick Braid rivetlicker posted a pic of - you might want to check at Big Lots. I picked mine up there a few weeks ago for $6. It really is the best thing for twists - that and a braid sealer, like ANNloses said. You can make tons in a very short amount of time.

I <3 my Quick Braid.

They usually have them at Target, too

Wow! $6??? Cheap!
Mum bought me mine on special for like $20... And his was 6 years ago!
Someone almost threw it out when I found it in the trash pile outside awaiting collection

Lucky I rescued it!

I've just seen this one... http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/store ... s|10198270
On the argos website, do any of you think it'd be any good?
Also, I'm thinking they're gonna be pretty much 100% useless if you're wanting to do twisty extensions amirite?

I don't have any experience with that exact one, but the braiders with 2 prongs instead of 3 usually work better, so its probably good

I've used them for extensions before, but only for a few accents. I did a 3-way braid for an inch or so at the top and then I changed the three strands into just two and used the twister from there. It worked okay, though if you do them by hand, they do come out a little more neat and tight.
