Style Alert: Roll, Wrap, & Tuck

(protective style good for dreadlocks; box braids; havana/senegalese/marley etc twists; BS/MB length and longer)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

* styling gel
* grease
* comb
* spray water bottle
* small brush (optional)
* 3-5 hair ties/elastic bands
* 1 bobby pin (use more at your discretion)

HOW TO:


STEP 1: flat twists

• part the hair (I used a side part but you can also go down the middle)
• apply product as needed for moisturizing
• take front of hair and twist it back to a little past the ear on both sides
• secure the hair with a hair tie (I use small black rubber bands)
• i two-strand twisted remaining loose hair (optional for loose+locs hair)

STEP 2: retwisting (optional)

• spray the locs with water to dampen and apply product as necessary for moisturizing/holding
• retwist the back of the hair if it needs any touch ups for neatness

      

STEP 3: pigtailed two-strand twists

• take one side of the parted hair and two strand twist it all the way to the bottom. Secure with a hair tie if necessary.
• repeat on the other side

STEP 4: updo

• pull one side of the two-strand twist up and over to the opposite side of your head.
• pull the other side of the two-strand twist up and over to the other side of your head.
• secure the criss-crossed ends of both sides to one another and tuck the remaining hair under and in.
• wrap to secure overnight

 

And there you have it!
