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.
