How to Twist Hair

Achieving a twist hairstyle can be done at the salon or at home. Check out our step-by-step infographic on how to pull of this gorgeous look.

Once your twists are set, it’s time to get creative with your styling. You can wear your twists down, in an updo, or even experiment with different accessories to personalize your look.

Natural Hair Twist

If you are someone who likes to show off your natural hair, then this is the twist hairstyle we want you to take the most time looking into, okay? The natural hair twist starts with tight twists along the scalp, twisting towards the back of the head. Once it gets to the back, tie it off, and then let the reminding hair do the talking. You can even do very light twisting of it, like in the image, but nothing as tight as what would be on your scalp.

Marley Twist Hair

If you fancy a more substantial twist, Marley twist hair will likely be right up your alley. Marley twists are achieved using Marley hair extensions, which have a coarser and thicker texture than your natural hair. Marley twist hairstyles are super popular because of their natural appearance and the ability to achieve a fuller and more voluminous look.

2 Strand Twist Hairstyle

The 2 strand twist hairstyle is the twist hairstyle. It’s exactly what we have been talking about. It’s taking two strands of hair in each individual section and twisting them around each other to get this amazing twist hairstyle. And if this isn’t proof enough, it clearly works for people with short hair!

Twist Braids Hairstyle

The twist braids hairstyle is a match made in heaven of two unique hairstyles. Twist braids can last several weeks, making them a fantastic choice for individuals who prefer low-maintenance hairstyles. Not to mention, they look stunning on all hair lengths and textures.

Island Twist Hair

If you’re yearning for a tropical, effortless look, island twist hair is the way to go. Island twist hairstyles typically use kinky or curly hair extensions to create a bohemian and beachy vibe. The twists are usually larger but can also be small and have a more relaxed and carefree appearance. Island twist hairstyles can be worn loose with a middle part, or you can gather them into a loose, messy bun for a relaxed yet chic look.

If you want to lean into the island vibes, there are a few accessories that can help, such as:

• Vibrant headscarves
• Feathered hairpieces
• Seashell
• Beads

Now that we have told you what you could put in your hair, you are probably feeling a bit in the dark about how to put them in it. Don’t worry; Zohna never leaves you hanging. Check out the table below with a tutorial on incorporating beads into your Island twist hair.

First, what you’ll need to conduct the tutorial:

1. Hair Beads
2. Small Hair Elastic Bands (optional)
3. Hair Wax or Gel (optional)

How To Attach Beads To Island Twist Hair	Description
Prepare Your Twists	Ensure that your twisted hairstyle is well-done and secure. If needed, you can use a small amount of hair wax or gel to smooth the twists and make the installation process easier.
Section Your Hair	Divide your twisted hair into smaller sections where you want to place the beads. You can choose to add beads to all twists or only select sections for a more customized look.
Thread the Beads	Take a small section of twisted hair and thread it through the hole in the bead. You can do this by starting at the base of the twist and pushing the bead upward towards the root. Alternatively, if the bead has a larger opening, you can thread the entire twist through.
Slide Beads Into Place	Once the bead is threaded onto the hair, slide it up or down to your desired position. You can place them close to the roots, in the middle of the twists, or towards the ends, depending on your preference.
Secure with Elastic Bands (Optional)	If the beads are not staying in place or if you want extra security, you can use small hair elastic bands to create a barrier on both sides of the bead, effectively “sandwiching” it in place.
Repeat the Process	Continue threading beads onto different sections of your twists until you achieve the desired look. Experiment with bead placement and patterns for a unique and personalized style.
Final Touches	Once all beads are in place, make any necessary adjustments and ensure that they are secure. You can use a bit more hair wax or gel to smooth the twists and add shine if desired.

Afro Twist Hair

The Afro twist is all about the look of bold and voluminous hair. Afro-twist hairstyles combine the texture of natural hair with the definition of twists, resulting in a stunning style. Since afros tend to be thicker, the twists will inevitably be a bit thicker as well. We suggest tying your afro twist hair into a ponytail on the crown of your head for the best results.
