Braiding passion twists on natural hair involves several steps, focusing on prepping your hair and securely attaching the pre-twisted extensions. This method utilizes the rubber band method, as shown in the provided video reference.
Preparing Your Natural Hair
Before starting, ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. This prevents snags and makes the braiding process smoother.
- Sectioning: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections. The size of the sections will determine the thickness of your passion twists. Smaller sections create thinner, more numerous twists, while larger sections result in fewer, thicker twists.
- Prepping Extensions: Have your pre-made passion twist extensions ready. The video reference showcases this method.
The Braiding Process (Rubber Band Method)
The rubber band method is a popular choice for securing passion twists. Here's a simplified version:
- Attaching the Extension: Take a small section of your natural hair and a pre-made passion twist extension. Place the extension at the base of the natural hair section.
- Braiding/Twisting: Begin braiding or twisting the natural hair and the extension together. The video shows this detail. Ensure the braid or twist is tight and secure.
- Securing with a Rubber Band: Once you've braided or twisted down to the ends, secure the passion twist with a small rubber band.
- Repeating the Process: Repeat steps 1-3 for each section of your hair.
Tips for Success
- Use the Right Tools: Having the right tools (like a rattail comb for sectioning and small rubber bands) makes a big difference.
- Practice Makes Perfect: The first few attempts might take longer, but with practice, you'll become faster and more efficient.
- Extension Length: Choose extension lengths that complement your hair length and desired style.
