(Photo courtesy of Hair Talk by Duyan James)A few summers ago, I was looking for long lasting styles for the summer and I discovered the Nubian Twist.

Some people are blessed with thick enough natural hair that they do not need extensions to achieve this look. I am not one of these people, so I decided to try and do them on my own with the help of this You Tube video! It is similar to doing Kinky Twist but with a different type of hair, and the ends do not have to be curled.
