Natural Hairstyles - A Twist Out

Why?

Because this hair style looks great on hair of all lengths, textures, and hair types.

I only learned how to do one just recently, but since then I’ve perfected it and get amazing results each time so I wanna share how I do it!

Another thing, as Bunny gets older, she’s more into the natural curly hair styles, more than the hairstyles with beads :( Which stinks because I loved the hair beads!

First thing’s first. The secret to AMAZING twist outs is to use two different hair products.

The first thing I always apply is a leave-in conditioner (sometimes Royal Curl, occasionally Original Moxie, often Suave Naturals) and then I apply another product for “hold”, either Beautiful Curls Curl Activating Cream OR Royal Curl Shaping Crème.

TIP! As you’ll notice in these pictures, she’s nice and comfortable in her jammys and wrapped up in her favorite blanket. Plus the TV was on so there were absolutely NO distractions.

Here’s her latest length check. This picture was taken the day before I did this twist out. I only included this picture in the post so you can see how much hair it took to get her twist out. However, you DO NOT need a whole lot of hair for this hairstyle. As long as you have at least an inch of hair, you can do this hairdo!



To begin, I sectioned her hair into four different sections and worked one at a time. Pictured left is what her hair looked like after she washed it (I honestly have no idea what shampoo she used) and I applied some Royal Curl leave-in conditioner.






Pictured left is after I added a little Royal Curl Shaping Crème and smoothed it through with my fingers. I didn’t even have to detangle! The knots literally just disappeared! Plus it left her hair with lots of hang time :D (For a few minutes anyway.)






Once the right products were added, I started twisting her hair. In this picture you’ll notice that her two strand twists on the right side are longer and thinner, while the ones in the back/left side are thicker and shorter. I worked from left to right, so her twists on the left had already shrunk while the twists on the right were still long and fresh. Don’t worry about this too much. It happens.


Finally, this is what her hair looked like when all of her twists were in. We kept these in overnight, through the next day, then we carefully removed them the next evening. I let her add some hair feathers and she was all set!

Here’s what the back looked like!
