However, care has to be given hair at all times and it will be best if you undid the twists with one or two weeks. STEP 9: You are done: the above is the entire process of twisting your hair.
Straight hair will require a holding agent of sorts as there is nothing for them to “hold” on to. A reason twisting holds well with wavy or curly hair is also because the ends will be able to hold their own. STEP 8: Curled Ends: Whether your hair was damp or almost dry and on the tension you applied while twisting your hair, you twists could be puffy or skinny. Once at the end, using your two fingers, hold the ends together firmly and release the pressure gradually, the twist will become a little loose but will settle on its own. You might need a special hair twisting gel to hold your hair especially if you have dry hair. STEP 7: Work the ends: you will have to continue twisting the hair until the very end. You might have to do undo until you get the result you are looking for. This decides whether the twists will hold or look uneven or unravel. STEP 6: Keep even tension: Keeping the tension even is very important. It is not needed that every section is twisted in the same direction. If you want the twists to be falling near the face, twist forwards and if otherwise, twist backwards. For shorter hair, the process can be done downwards as well as upwards. The process can also differ depending whether you are right handed or left handed. STEP 5: Continue Downwards: Once you start twisting a section, you will have to work your way downwards while styling it in the same direction. If you are a fresher, hand over hand movement will be your best friend, but with time you will be able to twist by just using your fingers. STEP 4: Start twisting: This process is quite simple, once you are done making sections and dividing them, you can start twisting them around each other. STEP 3: Divide each section into two parts: Here also, ensure that the division is equal since if the hair is not equal, by the time you reach down you might not have hair on the side of one division to complete the twisting. Finger comb every section and ensure there are no knots and use hair gel or special gel for hair twists to have a better hold. You can decide the width of the sections as long as you can keep them as uniform as possible. STEP 2: Prepare your hair: Divide your hair into sections. You can go in for twists even when your hair is damper than mentioned, however, you will be able to see better results if you twist your hair when they very little moisture in them.
STEP 1: Prepare to twist: Before starting the twisting process, wash your hair and let them air-dry almost completely with just a little moisture remaining. It does not take a lot of time and requires very little technique, the hair length does not matter and the things you will need are as basic as can be, that is, a comb, a hair gel and a hair spray. You can use the following steps to twist your hair. Some twisted hairstyles you can go in for are:. The best part of twisting the hair is, you can go in for it with your natural as well as refined hair and also go in for different hairstyles while combining them with twists. You can achieve the style by dividing your hair into several sections, twisting those strands of hair separately and then twisting two of those twisted strands together around each other.
