We did hair yesterday and I thought I would share, since I’ve never done these styles before. Sugar has flat twists - which were really quite easy to do. It’s a common hairstyle seen in Ethiopia, and even in their Oromo tribe, which is neat. Spice has twists too - apparently you call them Senegalese twists? And they turned out well too. Took a little longer, but not as long as braiding pieces, that’s for sure. The flat twists were faster than the 6 piece braiding I usually do. And then Mommy got a beauty shot too!

I love it! I love seeing all the different styles you do in your girls’ hair. I’d like to learn those twists! Does it work in longer hair too? My girls’ hair is quite long and the few casual twists i’ve tried just don’t look right.
Oh, your beauty shot is beautiful too!

the longer the hair, the better the look
But I found the key was using some “wax” - we use a beeswax mix - to hold it in.
Here’s an example vid for flat twists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....r_embedded

Ooooh the flat twists are my favourite. You’re doing such a good job with their different hairstyles!!!

I love both styles. When my girl(s) come home, I fully expect you to hold a hair workshop in Kelowna…maybe at the El Dorado…with a winery tour thrown in…
