The Secret ingredient for great two strand twists is Lemongrass and Aloe Vera Pomade

How to do Two Strand Twists

1. Prep ~ Section hair into at least 6 sections. Comb/detangle each section and do a loose braid (spray each section with water or Saniyyah Naturally Herbal Leave in Conditioner to make comb out easier)

2. Cleanse~ Apply Saniyyah Naturally Lemongrass Shampoo to scalp, massage through each section, follow shampoo instructions, rinse and repeat.

3. Condition~ Apply Saniyyah Naturally Hot Oil Treatment to hair and scalp, massage throughout hair and ends of hair OR Apply Saniyyah’s Healing Salve (about the size of a nickel or a quarter depending on the thickness of your hair) to the palm of your hands and then apply to the ends of your hair (making sure the ends are penetrated with salve, section by section), follow with a small amount Saniyyah's Healing Salve applied to the scalp in small sections.

4. Twist ~

   • Comb each section of hair from ends to root to detangle if necessary. Nappy hair will often tie at the ends, making the hair difficult to detangle. Resolve this issue with Saniyyah's Healing Salve.

   • Starting at the nape of your neck, part a small section about 1 inch diameter

   • Apply Saniyyah Naturally Lemongrass and Aloe Vera Pomade to the section at the roots (not on the scalp) and work down to the ends

   • Begin your twist by separating your 1 inch section in 2 equal parts

   • Place 1 part in the right hand and the other part in the left hand, between the thumb and index fingers

   • Bring left section over right section and push upward as you begin twist

   • Continue the same stroke down the body of the section until you reach the end

   • Continue same pattern and stroke throughout the entire head, parting with your finger

   • If your hair shrinks considerably, place clips on the ends of each twist

   • Allow to dry for 30 minutes to one hour.

Two Strand Twists may be worn for up to three months. If you have very nappy hair, your hair may begin to loc anywhere from 8 weeks to 12 weeks.

After wearing the twists for up to 3 months, you may opt to do a scalp cleanse , groom the edges with Saniyyah Naturally Lemongrass and Aloe Vera Pomade, un twist your hair, and wear this beautiful style for another 2 weeks in a twist out.
