How long should your hair be to start twist it ?

my hair isnt long at the moment.


but i know hair grows at different passes for different people so some get it in a month others take 5 months...





can anybody clear it up fo rme.proper lengh. and if i get it short do i need to get gel twist or something???How long should your hair be to start twist it ?
The general rule is that hair, outside of diet, stress, race, etc grows at a rate of about 1/2in per month. If you are talking about gel twists for dreads, you can start at any length, but most ppl wait until they have 6in of hair first.
