Flat Twists Tutorial

Flat twists are a good protective style in colder weather because they minimize manipulation and frizz, protect hair from harsh elements like cold and wind, and reduce the risk of breakage from rough winter fabrics. They keep hair tucked away and moisturized, and their low-tension, two-strand method is less stressful on the scalp compared to other styles like cornrows.

I did not use any product in the video to keep my hair from reverting, but before I flat twist my hair, I always hydrate with the Herbal Hair Tonic and follow up with either the Whipped Hair Butter or Hair Cream. #flattwisthairstyles #flattwist #naturalhairtutorial #protectivestyles #naturalhairstyles

You want to turn your mom pooch into a flat tummy?
🚫 Stop wasting time on crunches, planks, or sit-ups. ✅ Start training your deep core + pelvic floor — it’s the only way to truly heal after pregnancy. Try these instead (all postpartum safe + diastasis recti friendly): ◯ Diaphragmatic belly breathing – reconnects your core & pelvic floor
