How to do Havana Twists : 3 Methods


 
This summer I will be doing more protective styles in hope of getting more length retention. The first protective style is Havana Twists also known as Chunky Marley Braids.
For this style I bought 5 bags of Marley Twist Braid hair by My Beauty hair. 
 
 
 
After installing all the 5 bags into my hair, my head felt quite heavy. I had to go to the back section and merge twists together, resulting in the removal of 2 bags. In total, I used only 3 bags and my neck said: THANK YOU!! It took me 5 hours to complete the style.


 

 
 
Watch the video to see how I installed it
Lesson leant:
 
1. Make bigger sections next time
2. Try Bally hair instead, the My Beauty hair tangled up a lot!!
3. Use the Braid and Twist method through out.

Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole caus
