To use a Cantu Twist Comb, start at the roots of your hair and twirl the comb down to the ends to create twists or coils. For optimal results and well-defined styles, consider prepping your hair beforehand.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use the Cantu Twist Comb:
Preparation for Using the Cantu Twist Comb
Before using the Cantu Twist Comb, proper hair preparation is key. Cantu recommends the following steps for the best results:
-
Cleanse: Begin by washing your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo, such as Cantu's Sulfate-Free Cleansing Cream Shampoo, to remove any buildup.
-
Condition: Follow up with a hydrating conditioner like Cantu's Sulfate-Free Hydrating Cream Conditioner to moisturize and detangle your hair. Leave-in conditioners can also be beneficial.
-
Moisturize and Define: Apply a curl activator cream, such as Cantu's Curl Activator Cream, and a styling gel to help define your curls or twists. This will provide hold and prevent frizz.
Using the Cantu Twist Comb: Step-by-Step
-
Part Your Hair: Create sections of hair according to the desired size and style of your twists. Smaller sections will result in tighter twists, while larger sections will create looser twists.
-
Apply Product (Optional): If needed, apply a small amount of your preferred styling product (like gel or cream) to the section you're about to twist.
-
Position the Comb: Place the twist comb at the root of the section of hair.
-
Twirl Downwards: Gently twirl the comb down the length of the hair section, maintaining consistent pressure. This will create the twist or coil.
-
Repeat: Repeat the process on all sections of hair until the desired style is achieved.
Tips for Best Results:
- Experiment with Section Size: Try different section sizes to find the twist size you prefer.
- Use Quality Products: Cantu products are designed to work well together, but you can also use your preferred hair care products for twisting.
- Be Gentle: Avoid pulling or tugging on the hair to prevent breakage.
- Practice: It may take a few tries to master the technique.
