How to Do a Natural Twist in a Kid's Hair

Twists can fall naturally or be secured with gel or a bobby pin.

Getting a child's hair to twist naturally can be a stylish way to keep her hair neat and tidy. It also gives the child a chance to express herself with an edgy look that will be envied by her peers. Additionally, it is an easy style that will last all day with very little styling product. In just minutes, you can give your child natural twists in her hair.

Things You'll Need

• Brush
• Hair clips
• Gel, wax or mousse
• Hair elastics
• Bobby pins (optional)

Instructions

1. Brush the hair and separate it into sections. The size of the sections depends on the size of the twists desired. If you want smaller twists, separate the hair into smaller and multiple sections. If you want larger twists, separate the hair into larger and fewer sections.

2. Secure the hair you are not working on with hair clips or ties.

3. Divide a section of hair into two equal parts. Apply the gel, wax or mousse to each section. Spiral each section downward around the other. Pull the finished section to the top of the head and secure with a clip to hold the twist in place. Continue around all sections of the head.

4. Allow the hair to dry completely. Remove the hair elastics. You may let the hair fall in the twists naturally, or you may secure them with bobby pins.
