To tie back twists, you braid them down to the side of the head, then tie off the braid. This method, as shown in a video titled "Tangled Twists Tie Back Hairstyle" on YouTube, secures the twists effectively.
Step-by-Step Guide to Tying Back Twists:
- Prepare the Twists: Begin with your hair already styled in twists.
- Choose a Section: Decide which section of twists you want to tie back. Typically, this is the hair framing the face or on one side of the head.
- Create a Braid:
- Starting at the root of the selected section, begin braiding the twists together.
- Continue braiding down toward the side of your head.
- Secure the Braid: Once you reach the side of your head, tie off the end of the braid with a small elastic band or hair tie. This secures the twists.
- Repeat: If you choose to tie back twists on the opposite side of your head, repeat the process.
Example Based on Reference:
The YouTube video, "Tangled Twists Tie Back Hairstyle" (0:15-4:36), demonstrates this exact process. It shows how the hair is braided and then tied off at the side of the head to secure the style.
Key Considerations:
- Tightness: Ensure the braid is firm enough to hold the twists securely, but not so tight that it causes discomfort.
- Tie-off: Use a hair tie that matches your hair color or a clear elastic band to make it less visible.
- Symmetry: When tying back twists on both sides, try to make them as symmetrical as possible for a balanced look.
- Variety: You can adjust the location of the braid and the number of twists included to create different tie-back styles.
