Get the Perfect Afro Twist: Easy-to-Follow Steps for Beautifully Defined Curl.
Step 1
Start with washed and dry hair. Apply a few drops of serum to tame the frizz.

Step 2
Separate a lock of the temple, twist it, and pull it towards the back of the head.

Step 3
Secure the tip of the twisted lock with a clamp. The hairdresser’s tip is to apply the clip in the opposite direction to the hair growth (from the back of the head towards the forehead).
