Three strand twists are simple once you get the hang of them. Separate the section you are twisting into three, as you would for a plait or a braid,and then twist by leading with the right most strand and crossing it over the middle strand. You are always twisting the left and right strands together like a piece of yarn. It is now second nature to me, and the only type of twist that I like to see. When your hands get accustomed to doing it, it's second nature, and the finished twist holds together better than a two strand twist.
Wow!! I need this style in my life. lol. I've always wondered what 3-strand twists were. I'm a hardcore wash n'goer, but this style right here, I'm going to have to try.
I do three strand twists ALL THE TIME now, and my twist outs are ridiculously awesome. It took a little bit of time to get used to twisting three strands instead of braiding them, but now, I can do them just as quickly as I could do two strand twists. I find the look of my curls to be much, much better after a three strand twistout than they do with a two strand twistout or a braidout.
Darn, I'm at work and they blocked youtube! Got to wait until I get home to check out the look. I love my 2 strand flats, so I am curious about the 3 strand!
Her hair is gorgeous!!
This is gorgeous, I think I have found my graduation hairstyle. Now comes the coordination it takes to do those twists! lol
I can't wait to try this! I'm going to let my hair grow out a little bit more first though.

Her hair is off the hook! I'm definitely going to try this soon! Thank you for posting!
I wonder if this works with senegalese twists? Or do you have to do the 3 strand for this affect? I guess I'll have to experiment.
Jaw just dropped!
Can't wait to try this!

Very cute. Does this also stretch the hair? Where can I purchase Design Essentials products?
