Twist & Roll

To achieve this chic style, flat-twist hair on an angle. Connect the twists into two braids and wrap them into a bun at the nape of the neck, securing with pins. Don’t forget to use a leave-in conditioner like Pantene Pro-V Daily Renewal Treatment to protect hair.

You can never go wrong with a classic. Wear it loose, tight, parted in the middle or on the side. Ojon Conditioning Finishing Paste will keep edges smooth and help with flyaways.
