Section Your Hair.
Start by creating a box-shaped section at the back of your head. Remember, the smaller the box shape the tighter and more defined your end style will be.

Prep This Section.
Now apply a light spritz of a leave-in conditioner to this section of hair, as this will help to hydrate, detangle and make the styling process smoother. We like to reach for the SheaMoisture Miracle Hair Styler Leave-In Treatment that makes detangling super easy.

Apply a Cream.
For further hydration and to smooth down any flyaways, apply a moisturiser or oil like the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Oil along the lenghts and comb through using a wide-toothed comb.

Split Section Into Two.
Okay, you’re all prepped and ready to style!
Now split the section into 2 halves.

Twist It!
Twist your right half over the left half (or vice versa) and continue the motion until you get to the end of your hair.

Repeat.
Repeat steps 1-5 over your entire head.
If desired you can sleep with the twists overnight, protecting them with a silk scarf or bonnet.

Lay Your Edges!
If you have any baby hairs, lay them using a toothbrush and some hair gel.
This will provide tonnes of control with a high-shine finish to keep your strands in place.
