With your natural hair, our first suggestion is to wet your hair. The other option is to apply a holding gel or setting lotion. From there, part the hair in random or asymmetrical sections: each section should be divided into two. When using gel, apply it as you part each section. Apply the setting lotion before sectioning the hair. The size of each hair section should be one quarter to one inch. If you have short hair, the sections should be of a smaller size. Large sections do not support short length hair. Also, smaller sections means more twists. This makes the style look fuller. Once hair is sectioned and divided, two pieces should be twisted around each other till the end. Secure the end with rubber band or beeswax. This ensures that the twists do not unravel. After drying, African textured hair tends to shorten and swell. When the hair is long, it hangs down and swings. Short hair looks spiky. The other option for twists is unraveling the hair after drying because African textured hair looks bushy after drying.
When using synthetic hair extensions, start at the base by making a braid. Convert it into two strand twist after taking four or five braid stitches. The synthetic extensions can be secured using rubber bands. You can also light the ends with a lighter and roll it into a point or ball using finger tips. This is called as Senegalese twists. Do not use hair gel or holding spray on the extensions. You should not unravel hair extensions as it does not give the same effect like natural hair. In case of natural hair, you should not twist your hair extensively, as it may cause hair thinning.
