How to KINKY TWIST HAIR

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO KINKY TWIST HAIR

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• KANEKALON HAIR 1-2 FOR PRACTICE/ 3-4 FOR STYLE
• RAT TAIL HAIR COMB
• COLD WAVE RODS
• TOWEL
• LARGER BOWL
• FRIEND FOR END ASSISTANTS
• MIRROR TO SEE FRONT, BACK, AND THE SIDES OF YOUR HEAD

1. WASH OR PERM HAIR IF NEEDED. HAIR NEEDS TO BE EASY TO PART THROUGH AND GREASE SCALP IF NEEDED. MAKE SURE HAIR IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE YOU START.

2. 
   YOU'LL WANT TO BRING PART DOWN A 1/2 INCH LOWER AND BOXES A LOT SMALLER.

   AT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD PART A STRAIGHT LINE ACROSS AS LOW AS YOU'D LIKE THE TWIST TO START. TAKE ALL HAIR LEFT AND PLACE INTO A PONYTAIL AWAY FROM PARTED SECTION. AT THE END OF THE PARTED ROW PART INTO A BOX. THE SIZE OF THE BOX MATTERS BECAUSE ALL OTHER BOX WILL BE THE SAME SIZE.

3. 

   WRAP KANEKALON HAIR AROUND BOX SECTIONED HAIR(YOUR HAIR) AND BEGIN TWISTING TIGHTLY OR YOU CAN BEGIN BRAIDING TIGHTLY ABOUT 1/2 INCH DOWN BEGIN TWISTING TIGHTLY. ONCE YOU'VE TEACHED THE END OF THE TWIST THAT THE HAIR AND WRAP IT AROUND THE COLD WAVE ROD THEN SNAP IT CLOSED. YOU'LL REPEAT UNTIL YOUR ENTIRE HEAD IS COMPLETE. ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED FILL YOUR LARGE BOWL WITH WATER AND EITHER BOWL ON MEDIUM OR MICROWAVE FOR 4-5 MINUTES. ASK SOMEONE TO ASSIST YOU DIPPING ALL OF THE TWIST INTO THE WATER. WRAP TOWEL AROUND HAIR BEFORE TAKING IT OUT OF THE WATER TO DRY AND NOT BURN YOURSELF.

Tips & Warnings

• WHEN YOU GO TO BUY THE HAIR MAKE SURE IT IS KANEKALON AND THERE SHOULD BE A GIRL WITH KINKY TWIST ON THE PACK
• BE VERY CAREFUL WITH HOT WATER!!!!
• DON'T OVER BOIL THE WATER!!!!!
• WITHOUT ASSISTANCE YOU'LL POSSIBLY BURN YOURSELF!!!!!
