Introduction
Passion twists have been all the rage lately, and for good reason. They're a stylish and versatile way to rock your natural hair. But why settle for ordinary twists when you can add a unique twist at the root? In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to achieve this cute and trendy look step-by-step. From prepping the hair to wrapping the twists, I'll guide you through the entire process. So, get ready to slay with your new passion twist hairstyle!
Hair Products Used
Before we dive into the tutorial, let's talk about the hair products you'll need to achieve this look. For this style, we'll be using Cuban twist hair and passion twist hair. The Cuban twist hair comes in a pack, and we only need one pack for this style. The passion twist hair is available in bundles, and one bundle usually contains seven packs. You can choose the length of the hair according to your preference, with options ranging from 14 to 30 inches. Additionally, we'll be using Eco Style Gel, Shine and Jam, and Cream of Nature Leave-In Treatment Hair Food to moisturize the hair.
Prepping the Hair
To ensure the best results for your passion twist hairstyle, it's essential to properly prep your hair. Start by washing and conditioning your hair to remove any product buildup and create a clean canvas. Once your hair is clean, apply a leave-in treatment such as Cream of Nature Hair Food to moisturize and nourish your natural hair.
The Knotless Braid Method
Now that your hair is prepped, it's time to start the twist process. We'll begin by using the knotless braid method for the back of the hair. This method involves adding in some braiding hair to create an anchor for the twists and prevent slippage. Take a small piece of braiding hair and add it to the braid as if you were doing knotless braids. Make sure to braid it loosely to avoid too much tension. This step is only necessary for the back of the head or if you have shorter hair.
Sectioning the Hair
Once the back is secured with the knotless braid method, it's time to section the rest of the hair. You can choose to section the hair all at once or work in smaller sections. If you prefer working in sections, start by creating plaits or twists with your natural hair. Make sure to leave about one to two inches of natural hair at the roots to achieve a realistic look. If your hair is longer, you can skip the knotless braid method and simply plait your hair.
The Crochet Technique
Now that the hair is sectioned, it's time to use the crochet technique to attach the hair extensions. Take a crochet hook and loop it through the passion twist hair, then through the plait or twist. Make sure to loop it about one inch from the root of the braid. If you added braiding hair in the previous step, make sure the braid is loose enough to easily loop the passion twist hair. Once the passion twist hair is looped through, crochet a small piece of Cuban twist hair directly at the root of the braid. This creates a secure base for the twists.
Wrapping the Hair
With the Cuban twist hair in place, it's time to start wrapping the hair. Wrap the passion twist hair and the Cuban twist hair together, twisting them closely for one to two inches. To maintain a natural look, twist the passion twist hair in the same direction that you wrapped the Cuban twist hair. Once you reach a specific point, take a tiny section of the hair and secure it with a knot. Split the remaining hair into two sections and start twisting them, incorporating the passion twist hair.
Tips for a Natural Look
To ensure your passion twist hairstyle looks natural, there are a few key tips to keep in mind. First, make sure to twist the passion twist hair in the same direction as the Cuban twist hair to maintain consistency. Additionally, try to keep the twists close together without any gaps for a seamless look. Don't twist the hair too tightly to avoid tension and breakage. Finally, fluff up the twists by separating and pulling them apart slightly to create a fuller and more natural appearance.
Hair Length and Quantity Needed
The length of the hair extensions and the quantity needed will depend on your desired style and personal preference. The passion twist hair usually comes in bundles of seven packs, and each pack can create approximately 10 to 10.5 twists. If you want to stick with the seven packs, aim for around 70 twists or fewer. However, if you prefer a fuller look, feel free to use more packs. The Cuban twist hair can be cut into three sections to create the perfect length for wrapping at the base.
Taking Down the Style
When it comes time to take down your passion twist hairstyle, you'll be pleased to know that it's a straightforward process. Since only the first one to two inches of the twists are wrapped, the takedown is simple. Unravel the twists by untwisting them in the opposite direction from how they were initially wrapped. You may find a small knot at the root, which you can easily cut. The rest of the twists will unravel effortlessly, making it easy to undo the style.
