8 Wire-Wrapped Rope Twists

i got a million questions about my skin and why it's glowing 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol - it could be the increase in water and less stress but I definitely stepped my skin and makeup game up since I'm now in my 30s. I've recently incorporated a new brand to my regimen, a niche family owned company @malinandgoetz (pronounced mal • in AND getz) which is made for sensitive skin and y'all know my skin is the most sensitive of them all 😩. I'm also using some advanced makeup and the newest is @kevynaucoin amongst some other dope brands I've mentioned lately! 🙌🏽 See my previous post for a dope #NYFW giveaway with both brands to enter! #theglowup #malinandgoetz #kevynaucoin #nyfw2017

12 Itty-Bitty Baby Twists

This will probably be the last time I do my twists this small. My hair, when stretched out, is bra strap/almost mid back length and this took a long time to do. I love it though. Editing video for my channel. #MiniTwists #NoHairAdded
