Lessons Learned: You must part Ghana plaits. I tried to do the first few like I do two strand twist with "same size" pinch parts. This will not work, treat the part as if you are making box braids.
I added some flat twists on the side.
There is special thread for hair it looks like this:
While researching online I found this classic article from Ebony Jr here.
So far I love them and they threaten to last longer than two strand twists. I would really like to do more sculptural style once I get better/faster.

this is cute. can you do a video or tutorial on how you did this method?
I will try to do that this weekend.
Hello Knapps,
Nicely done !
I’ve done the African corkscrew threading hairstyle twice this year (picture is on my blog), and each time I had it in for 3 weeks.
I’d recommend threading, it’s the best protective style that I have ever done as my strands were locked in.
On take-down days, my hair was smooth, and I could even still smell the leave-in conditioner that I’d applied before my hair was threaded. It’s important that the hair is well moisturized and oiled prior to being wrapped in thread, it’s almost like marinating chicken in spices and then covering in foil paper :-)
Super easy to manage too, all I did spritz with a water and glycerin mix.
I finally found great post here.I will get back here. I just added your blog to my bookmark sites. thanks.Quality posts is the crucial to invite the visitors to visit the web page, that's what this web page is providing.
