Lock & Twists Hairstyles ~ Hair Styling Tips

Many people want healthy, stylish hairstyles. Wearing locks and twists are a great alternative to chemically altering hair if you desire a natural style. Locks and twists can be worn in many ways, like loosely, up-swept styles or ones adorned with accessories. The wearer can start and maintain many of the locks and twists, or a licensed loctician can professionally style them.

Originated by Dr. Cromwell, the Sisterlock method is a patented technique that must be maintained by a loctician who has had this training. Sisterlocks are small locks that create versatile hairstyles. A latchhook tool is used to begin the locks and retighten them. The locks are started by making small parted sections in the hair and twisting the sections with the tool until the lock cannot loosen. Sisterlocks can be started when relaxer is still in the hair. As the hair grows, new growth soon replaces the relaxer.

Braidlocks are formed by creating small individual braids throughout the hair. The hair is parted to the size the wearer wants the lock to be. Braidlocks are used to form small, thin locks. As the braids grow and are replaced with new growth, a latchhook is used to twist that section of hair. The braidlocks are completely locked when the new lock replaces the braid.

Freeform locks are locks that have not been created by twisting, latching or palm rolling. No tightening is involved in this method. After hair has been washed and conditioned, the hair is separated into various sections and allowed to air dry. The hair in these sections will eventually lock together because it isn't combed, brushed or otherwise stimulated.

Two strand twists hold their shape better when no relaxer is in the hair. To begin the process, you use your fingers to separate a small section of hair. You don't need to part the hair with a comb because you don't want visible parts. Separate the section into two strands. Apply a lock gel or cream to the strands, and begin to firmly twist, beginning at the scalp. Twist the entire shaft of hair to its end. If the hair is natural, you won't need to secure the hair; it will curl up. You then sit under a dryer to let the gel dry and make sure each twist is secured.

Flat twists lay flat on the scalp and resemble cornrows. You achieve this style by making a long part. Start twisting the section of hair closely to the scalp, picking up more hair as you move down the part. Once the entire section has been twisted, secure the hair with a rubber band or other hair accessory to ensure that it doesn't unravel. Flat twists can be worn in various decorative designs.
