Description

Instructions

  1. Small 1

    Decide how big of a section you want for your twist braid, then clip everything else aside for later.

  2. Small 2

    Backcomb the entire section.

  3. Small 3

    After it's backcombed use the comb to smooth down the top layer so it doesn't look ratted.

  4. Small 4

    Start by taking a thin section (about 1/4 inch) off of your part and splitting it in half.

  5. Small 5

    Twist the front half over the back half, so the back half is now in front.

  6. Small 6

    Take another thin section (just like the first one) and add it to the front piece.

  7. Small 7

    Now just repeat the last two steps for the remainder of the twist braid - twist the front piece over the back piece, add a new thin section of hair to the front piece, twist it over the back piece, etc.

  8. Small 8

    Secure it by putting bobby pins up and inwards in the end of the braid.
