For the best results, start your flat twists on freshly washed, conditioned, and detangled hair. However, you can also flat twist hair that’s a few days old to refresh your style, just make sure your hair is moisturized and detangled first. Flat twists work best on natural hair but it’s also a great style for those transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair. Use a moisturizing styler like a curl cream, butter, or gel for your flat twists. Decide how large you want your flat twists to be and divide your hair into sections, working on one section at a time. Split the section you’re working on in two and begin twisting as close to the scalp as possible. Use your index finger to add hair from the section closest to the part into the twist and continue to do this as you work your way down the length of the hair. There are lots of video tutorials on YouTube that will help with visuals.

Once you’ve completed your flat twists, allow them to dry completely. You can either air dry or use a hooded dryer or bonnet dryer to speed up drying time. You can then leave the twists intact if you’re going for a protective style or unravel them for a flat twist out. This method often results in great twist outs because the hair is twisted so close to the scalp and it’s easy to part the hair and create the twists in the direction you want them to fall. However, flat twists are a beautiful style all on their own. You can wear them as is or pin them up to create gorgeous updos and pin-up styles. Here are 35 flat twist hairstyles to inspire your next look.
