Celie twists \u2014 at least that is what I call them. If you search the hair blogs or You Tube, you will find that this hairstyle falls under many names. The names include but are not limited to\u00a0Halo Twists,\u00a0Unicorn Braids,\u00a0Milkmaid Braids and\u00a0Goddess Braids.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not know how to cornrow so I stick to my two strand flat twists. I learned how to flat twist from\u00a0Laila\u00a0aka\u00a0Fusion of Cultures<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on You Tube. Her video\u00a0How-To 101: Flat Twist Basics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has helped a sista out. I am not a hair styling expert at all but I can do some mean Celie Twists. I call them Celie Twists simply because they remind me of\u00a0Whoopi Goldberg\u2019s\u00a0character\u00a0Celie\u2019s<\/span><\/a>\u00a0hair in the film\u00a0The Color Purple<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I usually do my Celie Twists on blow-dried or stretched hair. I can do them without blow-drying my hair but my hair and twists do not look as neat. It\u2019s also easier for me twist my hair if it\u2019s first blow-dried. But when it\u2019s blow-dried too straight, the ends of my twists tend to easily unravel and I have to use numerous bobby pins to keep the ends in place. Usually in a couple of days, my hair thickens up due to humidity and heat. As a result, I then only need one or two bobby pins to hold my twists together.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always liked this hairstyle and never ever thought that I would be able to do it myself. When I first started flat twisting, I could not make the two twists join together at the back. As a result, I used to put a bun in the back. I have finally mastered twisting all the way to the back, as you can see in my pictures below. Practice makes perfect when it comes to this hairstyle. If I can master it, ANYONE can, emphasis on\u00a0ANY<\/strong>!!<\/span><\/p>\n

I wear Celie twists\u00a0ALL<\/strong>\u00a0the time because it\u2019s the only style that I can do. I am always amazed and extremely surprised by the compliments they get. Even when they\u2019re sloppy, someone always tells me how nice it looks. The compliments are so sweet; especially when people think I paid someone to do them. I think to myself, \u201cWow, people think I paid for this, I am doing something right!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 5 tutorials for the style:<\/span><\/p>\n
