Start with dry, detangled and stretched hair. Section off the top half into a bun at the top of your hair, and run your moisturizing product or gel through the bottom half. For each twist, section how much hair you want off at the root and secure it with an elastic band. Tug gently to get the rubber band to the very top of the strand of hair. Hair vlogger Melissa Denise adds Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie to the tips of her fingers before beginning each two-strand twist. At the bottom of each strand, twist the hair around your finger before securing with another elastic. As you continue, keep bringing more sections down from the top, working your way to the top of your head. Once you've reach the top, part your hair with a comb and work around the part as you create more twists.
You can maintain the moisture by adding coconut oil and wrapping the twists around your head under a scarf when you sleep, just as you would straight hair.
