Sectioning hair

1. Section your hair

Divide your hair into 2 large sections with a comb. Tie off the back so it doesn’t get twisted in.


2. Twist 

Take a bit of hair from the top layer on 1 side and divide it into 2 pieces. Twist the top piece over the back piece. 

Twisting hair

With your thumb, add some hair into the bottom piece and twist the pieces again.

Twisting hair

Continuously add hair in with your thumb to the front piece.


Keep twisting like this until you reach the point behind your ear. Then just twist the 2 pieces tightly without adding more hair.

Make a twisted braid on the other side in the same way.

4. Add volume

Pull at the pieces that you want fluffed on both braids to add texture.

Take down the hair in the back. Then, grab all the ends, including the twisted braids. Twist all of those ends together and wrap them into a bun.
