Cutesy name: Pin Curl Twist

Time it took us: 5 minutes

Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Sorta dirty hair

Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins
· Hairspray

How to:
Step 1
Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.
Step 2
Now you're left with a section of hair over each ear. Run your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head. Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby pins, then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.
Step 3
And that leaves the always fashionable "mullet" at the nape of your neck. You can leave it like that. We're all done.
Step 4
Just kidding. Back to the mullet. Hold your left index and middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don't attach it to the twists in Step 2 or you'll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it's all pinned up.
Step 5
Mist with hairspray.

How are these styles different from your article about hairstyles you're sick of? People who don't have straight or wavy hair like these models can't relate. You seriously couldn't find any Black models with coarser hair than that model with the mixed-textured hair, or are highly-paid hairstylists still incompetent in that area? This has to have been one of the mose useless articles I have ever read.

As far as washing your hair everyday, that is something that you want to try to avoid probably just as much as using heat on your hair. The more you wash your hair, you are depleating the natural oils in the scalp to nourish and keep your scalp moisturized. Have you ever noticed flaky scalp? Well that is one way to get it. By washing your hair everyday. Also, when you use those store bought shampoos and conditioners, you are looking at a product that has a high alkaline level well above a 7 ph. Usually you want to stay in a low range like 4.5-5.5 ph. With the high alkaline levels, this will cause the hair shaft to blast open instead of closing the cuticle. When the cuticle is closed, you will then receive shiny hair. Shiny hair is just reflection of light. Best product to buy is a guaranteed product from a salon. It may cost more up front, but in the long run, it will save you money cause you will spend less time messing with your hair.

Some of the directions are not clear enough.. They should put pictures of each step or a video to clarify. January

The reason they say to style with "unwashed hair" is that it is MUCH easier to work with that freshly washed hair, especially for ladies with fine, limp locks, like myself. There's nothing gross about it. I only wash my hair 3 times a week. It makes my hair healthier and so much easier to style!
