Why this worksHair twists are not only a protective style but also a versatile option for warmer weather. They reduce friction on your strands, keeping them healthy while adding a fun flair to your look. Plus, they can easily transition from day to night, making them perfect for any occasion.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, damp hair. Apply a leave-in conditioner or moisturiser to hydrate your strands and make them easier to manage. This will also help reduce frizz and improve the overall look of your twists.
  2. Section Your Hair Divide your hair into small sections, using clips to keep them separate. The size of the sections will determine the thickness of your twists. Smaller sections create tighter twists, while larger sections yield looser ones.
  3. Twist It Up Take a section of hair and divide it into two strands. Twist the strands around each other, working your way down to the ends. Make sure to twist tightly but not so much that it causes tension on your scalp.
  4. Secure the Ends Once you reach the end of the section, secure the twist with a small hair tie or a bobby pin. If your hair tends to unravel, you can also apply a bit of styling gel to help hold the twist in place.
  5. Repeat and Style Continue twisting the remaining sections of hair until your entire head is styled. You can wear your twists down or pull them into a cute updo for a fresh spring look.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include not properly hydrating hair before twisting, using too large sections for desired tightness, and forgetting to secure the ends, which can cause twists to unravel. Also, avoid twisting too tightly to prevent scalp tension.

The pro moveFor added flair, try incorporating hair accessories like beads or ribbons into your twists for a spring-inspired look.
