How to Double Strand Twist Short Hair
Short hair, contrary to popular belief, can be styled in just as many fashions as long hair. Double strand twists, much like dreadlocks, offer convenience and easy management. Twists are popular because they are suitable for all hair textures. People with curly, straight, wavy, coarse and fine hair can all get double strand twists. The process of double strand twisting does not require much dexterity. Two strands of hair are simply twisted around each other. The challenge with short hair will be the myriad sections you create. Shorter hair requires smaller sections because there is not as much hair to grab. Does this Spark an idea?
