9. Interlocking Half-Up Twists with Hanging Back Coils
How to Create
Balancing neat front styling with loose back volume, this half-up concept controls face-framing strands while showcasing natural length and bounce. Create a horizontal part across the top of the head from ear to ear, securing the back half out of the way. Divide the front section into six vertical subsections, applying a defining cream from the root to the mid-length of each lane. Two-strand twist each subsection halfway down its length, then interlock adjacent twist ends together using small, colorful rubber bands to create a woven crown effect. Allow the remaining ends of the front twists to fall naturally over the unbraided back hair, blending the textures seamlessly. Spritz the loose back coils with a leave-in moisturizer spray, scrunching gently from ends to roots to maximize natural spring and definition.
