Below is a short (ish) video on how those two strand twists, from the previous posting, looked when it took them down. I was not really happy with the result. It just didn't suit me. I've said it a million times, I like big hair. I wear big shoes, and big bags, and big jewelry, and I like my hair to be big too. It is a nice contrast to my modest frame. I've seen this style look amazing on some folk. Just not me. Click on the vid, and let me know what you think. - YB

Twist-Out FAIL! [VIDEO]
My hair doesn't always do what I want it to do. It doesn't always act the way I want it to act. We fight sometimes. Sometimes we fight a lot (see previous post "Why is my hair so big, and my two strand twists so small??"). But that's just how it goes.

Why is my hair so big, and my 2 strand twists so small???
This is a question that has plagued me for a long time. I have big hair. Although it is very fine, I have a lot of strands, so my hair is super thick. That is why I can't for the life of me, understand why in the world my two strand twists look so paltry. I will concede that my postpartum shedding has devastated my edges, so that could explain the temples, but that is not the case around the rest of my head.
If you've seen my hair history video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY5LbeZCljI), you will notice I have a penchant for wearing my hair in bigger styles. I like chunky twist-outs, and fluffy Afros. My Marley buns are big. When I have braids, they are super long. My Senegalese twists are more dramatic.... When I wear my finger-comber unit, I wear it big. I don't like to do things half way. I'm a go-big-or-go-home type of girl.
Maybe someone out there can explain to me what the problem is. Perhaps I don't have as much hair as I thought....*sighs*. Perhaps I need to improve my technique....*sighs again*
In any event, because of this disconnect, you will never catch me wearing my 2 strand twists out of the house. NEVER. I don't think the look frames my face nicely, and I don't think it provides enough drama for me. I wonder if this will change as my hair gets longer. Thoughts?? - YB
