Holiday Twist and Curl for Coily Hair

For tightly coiled curly heads, the cold winter weather can leave your hair dry and brittle.

Styling curly hair in a wash-n-go using gels and harsh products during the winter can dry out your hair causing severe breakage. Styling in a low manipulative style from time to time is a great way to reduce the risk of drying out your curly strands.

Try this twist and curl to create a textured curly-do and add a hair accessory inspired by Gwen Stephani’s hairstyle for the holidays.

Step 1

Start on stretched hair.

Step 2

Part your hair in a zigzag to help blend your sections together.

Step 3

Take small sections of moisturized hair and twist in medium-sized twists.

Step 4

Roll each twist using perm rods or flexi rods.

Step 5

Sit under a dryer or air dry until twists are completely dry.

Step 6

Carefully remove the rods and unravel the twists.

Step 7

Add a brooch or hair accessory to compliment your holiday look!
