How to Do Jumbo Twists: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial on how to create beautiful jumbo twists. In this video, I will guide you through the process of achieving this stunning hairstyle. Whether you're a beginner or have experience with twists, this tutorial is for you.

Preparing the Hair

The first step in creating jumbo twists is to ensure that your hair is detangled and clean. It's recommended to wash and blow dry your hair before starting this process. This will make it easier to work with and create a neater final result.

Sectioning the Hair

To achieve the best results, it's important to section your hair properly. Start by parting your hair down the middle, using your nose as a guide. This will create two equal sections that will serve as the foundation for your twists.

Adding Elastic Bands

To secure the sections of hair and create the jumbo twist look, you'll need to use elastic bands. Begin by splitting the bottom section into two and applying an edge control product to each section. Next, add black rubber bands to each section, ensuring they are tightly secured.

Choosing the Braiding Hair

To create the jumbo twists, you'll need to use braiding hair. Look for pre-stretched hair, such as Expressions braiding hair, which is approximately 52-54 inches in length. Half a bundle of braiding hair should be sufficient for each section.

Creating the Twists

Start by separating half of the bundle of braiding hair and parting your own hair in half. Place the braiding hair between the two sections of your hair and begin twisting the hair around your finger, working your way down to the ends. Continue this process until all sections have been twisted.

Styling the Baby Hairs

For a polished finish, it's recommended to style your baby hairs. Use a mini flat iron to curl them slightly and then apply edge control with a comb to shape them to your desired style.

Applying Finishing Products

To enhance the longevity of the style, apply a small amount of mousse to the top of your hair. This will prevent any white residue from the edge control and keep the style intact for longer. Finish by using wrap it up strips to hold the hair in place.

Drying and Final Touches

Once your hair is fully dry, use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. Finally, apply an oil sheen spray to add shine and complete the jumbo twist look.
