If you’re looking for a chic and easy updo hairstyle, then flat twist updos may just be what you need. This protective hairstyle is not only beautiful but also super versatile. Whether you have natural hair or relaxed hair, you can create a gorgeous flat twist updo that will keep your hair out of your face while looking stylish. Here’s how to achieve a stunning flat twist updo hairstyle:
Step 1: Prepping Your Hair
Before you start flat twisting your hair, you need to make sure that it’s clean, detangled, and moisturized. This will make the styling process much easier and your hair will look much better. You can use a co-wash or shampoo to cleanse your hair, and then follow up with a deep conditioner to add moisture. After rinsing out the conditioner, use a leave-in conditioner or a moisturizer to keep your hair soft and moisturized.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Once your hair is prepped, it’s time to section it. Use a rat-tail comb to create two equal parts from the center of your forehead to the nape of your neck. Clip one section out of the way so that you can focus on the other section. Use the comb to create a horizontal part that runs from one ear to the other, separating the top section from the bottom section. Clip the top section out of the way, and work with the bottom section first.
Step 3: Flat Twist Your Hair
Now it’s time to flat twist your hair. Start by taking a small section of hair from the front of the bottom section, and divide it into two equal parts. Cross the right strand over the left strand, and then add a small section of hair from the bottom section to the right strand before crossing it over the left strand again. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the section.
Continue flat twisting the rest of the bottom section in the same way. Once you have flat twisted the entire bottom section, clip it out of the way and move on to the top section. Repeat the flat twist process on the top section until you have flat twisted all of your hair.
Step 4: Pin Your Flat Twists Up
Now it’s time to pin your flat twists up into a gorgeous updo. Take the flat twists from one side and twist them together, and then pin them up using bobby pins. Repeat on the other side until you have pinned up all of your flat twists. You can also add hair accessories such as flowers, hairpins, or headbands to complete the look.
And there you have it! A stunning flat twist updo that will keep your hair looking beautiful and stylish. With a little practice, you’ll be able to create this elegant hairstyle in no time!
