Three-strand Twist Tutorial

July 30, 2008 · 14 Comments

On occasion, I get asked how to do three-strand twists so I decided to do a tutorial. So proud of myself cause I’m now a YouTuber! Anyhoo, I’ve been too lazy to post the actual tutorial on NPP101 until now. Plus, the twistout you see below was done from three-strand twists. So it only makes sense for me to go ahead and post it here. I hope you find it helpful.

Enjoy!
