Quick Hairstyle: The Overnight Natural Hair Twist Out

If you have natural hair and are looking for an easy do, the overnight twist out is one of the best hair styles around, and you don't need to be a hairstyle-pro. You need simple ingredients, a short amount of time, and you don't even need a whole lot of imagination. All you need is determination to stay up for just a few minutes and put your hair into this fabulous style.

To begin, you need water, a comb, and some kind of a good moisturizer. It is debatable whether you should use a cream or oil. This is because often, it's been said that cream moisturizers have so much water in them that they cause the hair to shrink. However, oils can contain mineral oil. And many people believe mineral oil dries the hair out. If I were you, I'd grab maybe some jojoba oil or some other oil that isn't mineral oil. Or perhaps I would grab a cream that didn't list water as its first ingredient. But in any case, you should use what works best for you. You also will need a silk or satin head scarf.

Here what to do. Make sure you hair is clean. Wet it, and towel dry. Then, grab the comb and part your hair in medium-sized sections, one section at a time. After have parted a section, grab it and put a little bit of the moisturizer through it. Take the section and split it in two with your hands. Take the two sections and twist them around each other using a good amount of tension. Twist all the way to the end of the section, and proceed to the next section and repeat the same steps.

Your sections shouldn't be two small. This is a hairstyle that should take you no more than twenty minutes to do if you don't have to wash your hair. Once you have a good amount of nice sized twists, allow them to air dry a bit before you put the scarf on. Doing this will decrease frizziness. After letting the hair air dry, tie the scarf on and go to bed. It's a good idea to only do this hairstyle when you have a long time to sleep. For instance, if you think you are going to catch about four hours before having to get up and go to work, this may not be the style for you. However, if your are looking at getting a good six to eight hours in, go for it. Wake up. Untwist gently, fingerstyle, and go.
