How do you do twists with short coarse and thick hair?

Shampoo your hair and scalp with a moisturizing shampoo. Rinse and apply a conditioner, leaving it on for three minutes before rinsing with cool water. Towel your hair dry until it's slightly damp.

Part a section of your hair. Starting in the back of your head, separate a triangular shaped section of hair that you'll use for the first twist and secure the surrounding hair with a metal clip. The size of the section will determine the thickness and number of twists you want.

Apply the gel to the small section of hair. With clean fingers, scoop out a small amount of hair gel. Run just enough of the gel through the parted triangular section of hair so that it's thoroughly saturated from root to tip.

Twist the hair. Because of the shorter length of your hair, use a comb to create your twists. Place the teeth of a fine-tooth comb in the gelled section of hair, nearest to the tip. Twist the comb and the hair until the section forms a tight twist from the scalp to the ends. Continue to make parts of equal size and twist the entire head of hair.

Allow the style to dry. Use a hooded dryer or a hair dryer with a diffuser to completely dry the hair so that the gel is set. If you're allowing the gel to partially air dry, spritz the twists with hairspray so that they don't begin to unravel before they dry
