Do twists with natural hair still need a break?

[silenttullip]

Are twists like braids meaning should you still give your hair a break? And ifso what does a break for a natural head afro? I'm doing them without extensions do I still a break at all?

For me, twists or braids on natural hair without extensions is a break. Loose hair equals knots, tangles, etc.

If anything I would just change up the parts.

thats what i would suggest.
maybe do teeny tiny ones one week, then do bigger ones the next week or however often you are doing your hair over...for longer hair, a break IMO would be bantu knots or buns...but for a fro I guess just changing the parts as Kusare said.

I agree with the posters no break is really needed when the twists are done on natural hair... just wash condition and redo when your ready

I agree with the above posts.

I've been wearing twists with my hair for years, and it's thrived. It's only 'breaks' are getting washed, usually.
The only part I really focus on moving around is my center part - I angle it different directions. I fingerpart for the twists, so I'm pretty certain I'm hitting different 'parts' every time I do my hair.

I do the 'grab and twist' thing also so I don't have any worries about permanent parts.
