How to:
Apply curl cream to damp hair and comb through to cover hair from root to ends evenly.
Separate hair into three sections, sides and back. Secure with clip. Drop one to two inch horizontal sections. Twist one inch sections around your fingers, in the same way you would a curling iron. Twist some towards your face and some away from your face.
Continue wrapping hair in twists through all three sections. Let air dry or dry with a diffuser attachment on your dryer. Use low force but a high heat setting to dry curls and reduce frizz.
Once curls are dry, apply a shine serum to palms of hands. Smooth curls out and give them a little shake to loosen.
Section out crown area and sides (leaving some hair out over ears). Without smoothing curls, pull each side section, twisting slightly, to back of head and secure with bobby pins.

Oval, round and diamond shaped faces look fabulous in this curly style while medium to thick textured curls respond nicely to the twisting technique.
