Want To Learn How To Hair Twist?

Twists are a fast and simple hair style you can do by yourself at home. They’re perfect whether you have natural or relaxed hair.

A great thing about them is their staying power. If you do it properly the style can last a whole week (maybe even two!).

Here are simple steps for learning how to do a perfect hair twist.

How To Do A Hair Twist Step By Step

What You Need

• Gel or hair butter
• Rat tail comb
• 1 box small hair clips
• 3- 4 large hair clips
• High quality bonnet dryer
• Mini hair rods

Step 1

Wash, condition, towel dry and coat your hair with leave in conditioner.

Step 2

Use your rat tail comb (or your fingers) to part out a section of hair as big or small as you want the twist to be.

Step 3

Take some of hair gel or hair butter and apply it to the section of hair you’re going to twist.

Step 4

Take the section of hair and split it in two. Starting at the roots, begin to twist the two pieces of hair around each other (up and over) in a clockwise motion until you get to the ends.

Step 5

If the ends of don’t stay together by themselves, use mini hair rods to secure them and make them curl up.

Step 6

Sit under a hooded dryer for 20-30 minutes to help the style set.

Step 7

Once the ends of your hair are dry, take out the mini rods and mist your hair with light oil for sheen.

Tips For A Perfect Twist Style

• If your hair gets dry while you’re twisting, use a spray bottle with plain water to make it damp again.
• Maintain a twist set by sleeping with a silk or satin scarf over your hair at night.
• In the morning mist lightly with water and hair oil and fluff it up a bit with your fingers to bring the style back to life.
• Want an easy style switch? After a week or so, pull the twists apart and wear a fun a funky twist out.
