Marvelous flat twist hairstyles for Fall 2020
Flat twist is normally known as a neat way to create a protective hairstyle, but today fashion lovers has creatively transformed the simple style into many variations. So today, let learn about hơ to create flat twisting and the some styles to rock this fall.
What are flat twists?
Flat twisting is a protective hairstyle in which the hair is twisted close to the scalp, similar to cornrows. However, unlike cornrows that use three hair strands to form a twist, a flat twist is made of just two separate sections twisting tightly together.
Whether you want to make flat twists as the first step for a curly hairstyle (or a flat twist-out) or to create a base for a flattering updo, flat twisting can surely make your hair healthier since the flat twisting minimizes the styling on a daily basis.
How to make a flat twist?
Step 1: Prep your hair
Flat twist can be done on both damp and dry hair. Yet, if you want to make it with damp hair, you can wash your hair first. If you can’t afford time for a deep washing, you can spray some water into your hair to lightly dampen the locks.
Step 2: Apply styling gel or cream
Use some styling gel or curly cream onto your hair to add moisture to the tresses. It also helps to define the curl when you twist your hair. If you intend to wear a flat twist-out later, this step will bring you the perfect curly pattern.
Step 3: Detangle your hair
To remove the knots and tangles in your hair, you should use your fingers and gently comb through your curls.
Step 4: Divide your hair into sections
If you want smaller twists, you need to divide your hair into more sections, and vice versa.
Step 5: It’s time to twist
Take one section of your hair and divide it into two equal parts. Then, twist the lower part into the top piece. With each twisting, you need to pull in more hair to the lower part (like how you do with French braid). Continue twisting until you reach the end of your hair and repeat the process for the rest sections. Please note that to have a perfect flat twist, you should pull your hair tight as you twist and keep it close to your scalp.
Step 6: Secure the twists
After you finish each flat twist, you can use a bobby pin to tuck the ends in and secure it.
Step 7: Dry the flat twists naturally
If you make flat twists with damp hair, you need to air dry it. And now, enjoy your look with a new hairstyle. Remember to wrap a scarf around your head before you go to sleep, or replace your pillowcase with a silk one to prevent frizz.
