• Hair ties
• Water spray bottle

Now, let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare your hair

Start by washing and conditioning your hair. Make sure it’s completely dry before you begin. Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb and part it into sections using a rat tail comb. Use hair clips to keep the sections separated.

Step 2: Add extensions

Take a small section of kinky hair extension and fold it in half. Place the folded end at the root of your natural hair section and use a twisting motion to secure it in place. Keep twisting until you reach the end of the extension, then use a hair tie to secure it. Repeat this process on each section of your hair.

Step 3: Twist the hair

Starting at the root of your hair section, twist the extension and your natural hair together. Keep twisting until you reach the end of the section, then use a hair tie to secure it. Repeat this process on each section of your hair.

Step 4: Style the twists

Once all of your hair is twisted, you can style it in various ways. You can leave the twists as is, or you can create updos, buns, or ponytails. Be creative and have fun!

Step 5: Care for your twists

To make your twists last longer, make sure to moisturize and oil your hair regularly. Use a water spray bottle to keep your hair hydrated, and apply a moisturizer and oil to the twists to prevent dryness and breakage.

Tips and Tricks

• Use a detangling spray to make the process easier.
• Start with small sections of hair to avoid tangling.
• Use a satin or silk bonnet or scarf to protect your hair at night.
