If you are in the transition from having permed or relaxed hair to growing out your natural hair, you can cut off the treated parts and opt for a hairstyle such as comb twists. The same can be done if you have treated hair and just want a new hairdo. You do not need a lot of hair for twists; this style actually works better for shorter hair as it stays twisted more easily.
Doing the Twist
You can do this style with damp or dry hair. Damp hair is better because you can easily detangle it with a comb. If your hair hasn't been cut and you're just twisting it for a new style, be prepared for any type of hair breakage at the point where your natural hair is joined by the treated hair. It may look like you're shedding, as hair might come out in strands when you pull a comb through it. You will need a rattail comb and a hair gel such as Black Earth's Lock It Up Gel, which will help your twists last.
Separate your damp hair into small sections with your comb. You can section your hair in the shape of a diamond, square, circle or triangle. Parting your hair in a circle section may take more time than the others. Apply a dime-size amount of hair gel to the first section and put a rattail comb at the root. Slide the comb up from the root while gently turning the comb clockwise. Continue this until your comb is out of its section.This should make a coil. Repeat these steps for your entire head.
This hairstyle can be worn for several days before having to restyle it. It will last longer if you sleep with a stocking cap over your head at night. Be cautious: Hair that is left twisted for too long can begin to lock, so if you do not want this to happen, untwist your hair and start the process over again.
