For the uninitiated, you start off with washed, moisturized and stretched dry hair.
The choice is ultimately up to you.
Stephen explains, “Passion twist are usually installed by a professional braider.

However, if you want to experiment on your own there are countless DIYs to follow.”
Next, youll want to section out your hair and work with smaller segments for your desired look.
For each segment, prepare your braiding hair with an X-shaped partition.
The actual segment itself needs to be divided in half before you proceed.
The end result should give you an S-shaped twist.
You get to determine how loose or uniform you want your twist to be.
Repeat these steps for each subsequent twist you work with.
According to Rogers, about seven packs of braiding hair will supply average density.
For larger than life twists, it’s possible for you to use up to 10 bundles.
How Long Do Passion Twists Last?
When your passion twists are completed, ensure their longevity with a holding mousse.
Like other twisted styles, smaller twists last longer and provide both volume and fullness.
For your real hairs health, check that your Passion Twists arent installed too long.
Tanya Pebbles of East Coast Styles advises you not to to keep your protective style in beyond 12 weeks.
However, use your own discretion when wetting your twists since you dont want them to begin to unravel.
What Is the Upkeep?
Since it’s tucked away in the faux tresses, there isnt much need for upkeep.
Even better, you may be able to retain length and additional growth with the duration of your style.
“I usually recommend keeping protective styles like passion twist in for 4-6 weeks.
Keeping the hair moisturized during this time is important.
Leaving the hair strong and preventing hair breakage and split ends”, says Stephen.
Using a spray-on conditioner is another way to to lock in moisture.
Last but not least, confirm you have a sleep regimen for your passion twists.
Alternatively, if youre a wild sleeper,silk pillowcaseswill be your best friend.
