What You'll Need for DIY Passion Twists

Before starting the installation process, gather these essential supplies:

• Human hair extensions - usually opt for 2-3 packs of high-quality human hair to complete your look(or depending on how thick and the length you want).
• Wide-tooth comb - for detangling and sectioning natural hair.
• Rat-tail comb - to create neat, precision parts.
• Hair clips and rubber bands - to section hair cleanly.
• Leave-in conditioner - to hydrate and moisturize natural hair.
• Edge control/gel - to smooth hair and edges.
• Setting lotion or mousse - to blend extensions with natural hair.
• Hair ties - to secure twist ends.
• Hair cutting shears - to trim and shape twists.

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair

Proper prep is key for flawless passion twists:

• Make sure you wash your hair, detangle it, and moisturize it before you begin.
• Use a wide-tooth comb to create clean sections of hair. Section size will determine twist size.
• Clip back remaining hair securely as you work in sections.

Step 2: Add the Hair Extensions

Once prepped, it's time to incorporate extensions:

• Fold a piece of human hair in half to create a loop at the top.
• Slide loop under your natural hair section near the roots.
• Pull extension ends through the loop to knot securely.
• Add more extension hair as needed to maintain an even size.

Step 3: Twist Each Section

Maintain tension as you twist each section:

• Continue twisting extension and natural hair together from roots to ends.
• Add more extension hair as needed to maintain even size.
• Repeat process section-by-section for uniform twists throughout.

Step 4: Seal and Secure Twist Ends

Prevent unraveling by sealing ends:

• Use tiny rubber bands or hair ties to securely tie off each twist end.
• For extra hold, dip ends in hot water to seal the knots.

Step 5: Style and Finish Twists

Final touches for a polished passion twist look:

• Use edge control to smooth and sleek hairline and edges.
• Apply mousse or setting lotion to blend twists seamlessly with natural hair.
• Sit under a hooded dryer to set the style (optional).

Maintaining Your Passion Twists

Follow these tips for longevity:

• Gently cleanse scalp and lightly moisturize twists as needed.
• Wear a satin bonnet or scarf at night to protect hair while sleeping.
• Avoid over-manipulating twists to limit frizz and tangling.
