Twist Out Styles | How To Do A Twist Out On Natural Hair (2024)

Doing a twist out is fairly simple but there are essential tips that you should keep in mind with every twist out to guarantee a flawless result.

To create a twist out that is smooth and uniformed, It is vital that your hair is properly detangled from the ends to the roots. Use a spray bottle of water to moisturize your curls. Apply a cream or oil to add extra slip to help the detangling process along.

This may seem like a simple, obvious step but it is one that many people skip. Twist each section of hair from the root so that the curls are full from beginning to end.

The one part of your twists that can totally ruin your style are uncurled ends. The simple solution to this is to twirl your ends around the twist so that they curl with the rest of your hair. Alternatively, you can use perm rod to curl the ends of your twists as well.

1. Detangle your hair from ends to roots using either a detangler spray or water and oil or cream.
2. Apply a cream based product or butter to seal in the liquid and oil you already applied.
3. Starting with a small to medium sized section of hair, split into two halves.
4. Begin twisting at the roots all the way to the ends.
5. Apply an extra bit of cream or butter to the ends of the hair and twirl around itself or curl with a perm rod.
6. Continue until entire head of hair is twisted.

1. Detangle and moisturize your curl the way you would in preparation for a standard twist out.
2. Determine where you want your part to be once your twists are taken down. Your part can be on the side, in the middle, or only small if you are going to create a bang.
3. Instead of separating a section of hair, separate a strip of hair vertically or horizontally.
4. Twist the strip of hair in the same way you would braid down a cornrow.
5. Seal and twirl the ends around the twist.
6. Continue until entire head of hair is flat twisted.
