Two-strand twists can be used on both short and long hair.The basic two-strand twists can be used as a base hairstyle for many different variations so that each hairdresser can give an individualized look.Children can benefit from this hairstyle since it can be dressed up with ribbons or beads.You can learn how to do two-strand twists with a professional look by following the steps below.
Step 1: Do you want a twist style?
If you want to do small random twists on the hair, you can divide it into large sections.Pick the one you feel most comfortable with, the styles and options are endless.
Step 2: It's important to wash and condition the hair.
After giving your hair a nice lather, rinse and conditioning it.It is very important to leave the hair a little damp once you have washed it.Try squeezing the hair with a cotton t-shirt to remove excess water.Don't rub your hair!Don't use a towel to dry your hair.It can cause your hair to get tangled in the towel.If your hair is wet, you should continue blotting it.
Step 3: Remove the hair.
Use a wide-toothed comb to comb through hair.Start with the ends of the hair.Once those tangles are gone, slide up an inch or so and keep combing until all of them are GONE.Detangling spray can be used.For a smooth comb through, use a Kinky Curly Knot.
Step 4: You should cut your hair into two sections.
Use a rat-tail comb that has teeth on one end and a styling separator on the other to split the hair horizontally from ear to ear.Use hair clips to separate the top and bottom sections.
Step 5: The top and bottom parts should be divided into six even sections.
This example is only using six twists, however the procedure is the same for many.The hair from the crown down to the horizontal part should be used to create three sections on the top part.To keep them separated, clip each section.If you want to make three sections on the bottom part, you have to take the hair from the base of your head up to the horizontal part.If you want them to remain in place, clip each section.
Step 6: The clip should be removed from the first six sections of hair.
This section has not been twisted or loose.It is possible that it is easier to work from the bottom to the top.
Step 7: The loose section needs to be combed.
The wide-toothed comb can be used again to remove tangles that may have been created during the separating and clipping process.
Step 8: Curling cream, curling gel, and hair products can be applied.
The sticky nature of these styling products will help to lock in the style.Rub the product on your hands and it will smooth out the hair.
Step 9: Don't allow the loose section to be secured.
If you want to separate the hair into two separate sections, use an elastic rubber band.If you prefer not to use a rubber band, you don't need to.Take care to not pull the hair too tightly while placing the rubber band close to the roots.Make sure the sections are even.
Step 10: There are two new sections of hair.
Left until the end of the section is reached.Apply hair gel to hold the twist in place and allow the ends to Curl on each other.
Step 11: Attach with beads, barrettes, bows, or elastics.
The base of the twists can be embellished.Buckles, bows and elastics are snapped into place.It is possible to add beads by sliding them over the ends of the twists.To keep the beads in place, it's best to secure the twist with a rubber band.You can find beads that clip onto your hair, which are specifically made for styles like the two strand twist.
Step 12: Sleep with it.
To keep your twist style intact, wear a scarf or sleep on a pillowcase.
