Failed twistouts/braid outs after hours upon hours of styling…we have all been there!! It seems to be a lot harder if you have shorter hair, because you can’t just simply put your hair in a ponytail and things will be all better. Fortunately, I have put together three quick styles you can do if you are ever in a time crunch and you still want to look cute and put together.
Style 1: Front side twist
-
I started with my hair in its “failed state” I didn’t add any extra product to my hair. I began with parting the front section of my hair
-
After finishing my desired parting I began flat twisting my hair to one side
-
Finally I tucked the remaining piece with a bobby pin and fluffed the rest of my hair for the completed look
Style 2: Middle Part Mini Puff
-
First I started with putting a neat part in the center of my hair
-
I smoothed down my hair (gel is optional”> and place bobby pins to help hold down my hair where needed
-
I used Ampro gel to smooth down the edges and brushed them down
- Finally I picked out my fro in the back to get the completed look
Style 3: Shaped Fro
-
I decided to go with a deep side part
-
To shape the fro to a more tapered appearance I used a Shea Moisture Thickening Spray on the sides making sure to avoid the front portion of my hair to avoid shrinkage
-
I placed bobby pins by the part to keep the hair on its respective sides
- I fluffed out the top in the front to add volume and that gave me my completed look
And voila!
There you have three quick simple and easy styles to fix a failed twist out when you have somewhere to go. I recommend that if you are going to use any products that you are very light handed. When styling my hair the previous night I used Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding and sealed with coconut oil.
