What You Will Need:
- Kinky Marley hair
- Rubber bands
- Leave-in conditioner or hair moisturizer
- Hair gel or edge control
- Comb or brush
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Before starting your Marley twists, make sure your hair is clean and detangled. You can either wash your hair or simply mist it with water to refresh it. Then, apply your leave-in conditioner or hair moisturizer and comb through to evenly distribute it.
Step 2: Divide Your Hair into Small Sections
Divide your hair into small sections and secure each section with a rubber band. The smaller the sections, the more defined your twists will be.
Step 3: Add Kinky Marley Hair
Take one section of your hair and add a small amount of kinky Marley hair to it. Then, twist the natural hair and Marley hair together until you reach the end. Secure the end with another rubber band. Repeat this process for the rest of your hair.
Step 4: Twist Your Hair
Starting from the roots, twist the hair until you reach the end. If you are having trouble twisting, you can use a comb to help separate the hair and make it easier to twist. Make sure to twist the hair tightly to avoid unraveling.
Step 5: Secure the Ends
Once you have twisted all the sections of your hair, secure the ends with another rubber band. You can use a small amount of hair gel or edge control to lay down any frizz or flyaways.
Step 6: Repeat the Process
Repeat the process for each section of your hair until you have completed all of your Marley twists. You can leave your twists as is or you can add some braids or beads to personalize your style.
Step 7: Maintain Your Twists
Marley twists can last for weeks, but it's important to keep them moisturized to prevent them from becoming dry and brittle. You can mist your twists with water and apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep them soft and shiny.
That's it! With these easy steps, you can have beautiful and stylish Marley twists in no time. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance hairstyle or simply want to switch up your look, Marley twists are a great choice. So give it a try and show off your stunning new twists!
