Stylish Benny And Betty Hairstyles – I know, threading isn’t even expected to do grown up hairstyles and it’s usually relegated to Benny and Betty, grade school hairstyles aka African threading. But with a little creativity, yarn can be used to create really stylish, perfect for mature hairstyles. With natural hair, creativity is not something we struggle with, no. And if done right, yarn hairstyles can be great protective hairstyles and can last 3 weeks or more.
What kind of yarn can be used for hair styling? This is a question I get asked the most when I style curly hair. Well, actually any yarn and any color for that matter. I mostly use 3-ply yarn which is normally used for jersey knitting and also Brazilian wool. Both have their pros and cons, but that’s a post for another day.

If you need some inspiration for your next protective style with yarn, I’ve put together these yarn or yarn/wool hairstyles.
Colourful Yarn Twists
Simple beanie with some synthetic hair extensions. It is easy to do and long hair makes it more presentable and can be worn by adults and children.
Fake stains using Brazilian wool. This false luxury has very little weight. The only downside is that they take a long time to install. Otherwise, once you have it, you will enjoy it. Another thing, make sure they are not too tight.
The yarn twists are just amazing and I can repeat them again and again. This can be done using Brazilian wool or knitting wool. Both ways come out really great.

I am in love with these long giant balls of yarn. However, knowing the ropes, don’t even think about washing your hair while you have it if you want to live. The yarn becomes so heavy when submerged in water that it will literally break your neck if it is that much. Don’t they look great?
Yarn twists can also be enjoyed in a variety of colors. I can’t get enough of this pink. They look very clean and beautiful.
Yarn braids are also a great style choice. This is a great protective style and can be done long, short, thoughtful or thin.
Benny And Betty Hairstyle — The Best Of Africa
African braiding with front bangs is very simple, clean and beautiful. I agree with that.
African threading can be easily worn to the office. Well styled and done in a way that brings out the profile and professionalism of your face.
I love this braided African braid that I found at Latour Page, a hair salon in Pretoria. so beautiful. Can’t wait to try it. Very artistic.
African Threading With Extensions
The flat African braid can also be done as an updo hairstyle. I love how it came out from Nash Hair Studio.
Another option for knitting with yarn is to do them with a needle. Although it may take some skill to do them, they are artistic and stay in the hair longer than the corners. Also suitable for those with short hair. I have a full playlist on my channel on how to do needle and thread cornrows and flat tweeds. Here is one of my latest videos.
These are just a few that I managed to include in this post. Otherwise, I have many photos on hairstyles that I collect from Pinterest, Instagram and Nashe Hair Studio.

Eunice Ruth Maphupa is the founding blogger at Natural Sisters, a natural hair blog. She started the blog back in 2012 to document her journey to natural hair as well as share her experiences on this amazing journey of self-discovery and accepting how her hair grew out of her scalp. She is an entrepreneur, the founder of Natural Moisturizers, a mother of 3 boys and a DIY junkie. Not everyone likes to use extra hair on the head and this is me working in a hair salon for 2021, I will make hair. Stocked with a variety of new hair extensions for the entire year. To get rid of such a mentality, I decided to challenge myself and not do braids and braids with hair extensions. And, it was free.
I learned a lot of different ways to style my hair because I had to do my hair so often. Sometimes 3 times a week especially if I didn’t use gel to style my hair. I show some of these hairstyles on my YouTube channel. And here is my last one. I will definitely make a compilation of all the hairstyles I did last year.

This is a version of the original hairstyle that I have done over the years with either thick or loose hair. However, this time I wanted to create a subtle low bun and I loved the result. what do you think? Leave me a comment.
Learning a new skill is always good. What’s even better is if that skill can actually put food on your table or just get you some extra cash so you can finally start this project. For me, hospitality has been my source of income for many years. Well, I didn’t exactly get paid when I did my hair when I was still in elementary school. But still I have been dealing with hair for a long time. When I was in college, I spent most of my week here. This kept me away from corruption and I never ran out of money as my customers were mostly college girls with cash. Those were the good old days.
In this post I show you how to do flat twists on natural hair. Flat braids with your own hair are the best protective style, no matter how you look at it. At least when it comes to hair and scalp health. They can also look beautiful and if you have length and volume, you are really spoiled for choice when it comes to styles. There is no hair pulling, no pressure on the hairline or scalp, so there is no inflammation of the scalp, the hair is removed and held long enough to ensure that single knots are kept at bay. What other protective style ticks all the boxes?

In fact, when recovering from hair loss due to traction alopecia, this is the best hair style to wear. Make sure to ask your stylist to do flat twists if you are trying to grow your hair out.
This is actually a very easy hairstyle, especially if you don’t add hair extensions. I always work on wet hair. Guys! No need to blow dry, just do this hairstyle. For healthy hair, work on damp hair.
If you can do 2 standing turns, then learning flat turns will be easier for you. Because the flat twist version actually only lifts the hair along the section as you twist. How you keep your hair will also make a difference. Watch the video below on how I maintain my hair. This allows you to make easy hair choices as you go along.

And yes, it gets better the more you practice. Did you know you can get a practice head in Joburg for less than R100? Well, it won’t be very hairy and the hair will also be very straight and synthetic. But for the purpose of learning different hairstyles, you can start there before you can get one that has a curly texture and easy to learn African hairstyles. Of course, this comes at a high price.
For true beginners, just focus on twisting 2 strands while lifting the hair as you go into a section. Don’t worry about how hard or soft it is. No matter how clean it is. Once you understand how your fingers move and work together to create a flat twist, you can work on making it tighter and cleaner. I promise, you will get it in time. So do i.
