Hairstyles: How To Curl Your Twists Or Braids

CURLS CURLS CURLS

One of my favorite protective styles is twists.  Sometimes I get kind of bored with them being straight so I change it up a bit by adding some curls!  Read below to see how easy it is!

What you'll need:  

-10 to 20 flexi-rod style rollers (I used a small rolller, the larger ones will give bigger curls)

-tea pot or saucepan

-tall thermal cup with handle

-2 towels(one for the floor and one for towel dry hair)

How To:                                                                                                                                                      
Using flexi-rod styled rollers, take 4 to 5 twists or braids and roll them spirally.  I find it easier to start rolling from the ends.  Next, boil some water.  Once the water reaches boiling point, put it into your thermal cup.  Next, dip 2 or 3 sections of your rolled hair into the cup for 5 to 10 seconds. Now, using a towel, take your hair out of the hot water and  press any excess water with a towel.  Keep another towel on the floor underneath you in case water drips on the floor. 

The water has to be really hot in order for this to work, so after dipping  a few rollers, you'll want to reboil the water and repeat this process until you are done.  Keep the rollers in until they are completely cool or dry even.  Once you take them out, you will have a head full of fun curls!  If you get tired of your curls just dip your twists/braids into boiling water without rollers and your hair will revert to straight!  MAGIC!!!!  Enjoy!

Note:  This will only work with synthetic twists/braids.
