Today is all about the grave details to creating the perfect twist out using Big Chop Hair Corkscrew Curl Clip-ins. I had so many questions about this style I felt revisiting it would hopefully answer a lot of those questions! I am sharing every important step as well as some helpful tips for night time care. This is one of my go to styles! So to share my secrets with you is a true testament of my love for you all! Let’s get started.

What I used:

Visual Guide:

Directions:

  • Start with freshly shampooed hair
  • Apply Leave In Conditioner through out hair
  • Section off hair in the lower, back of head for first clip-in placement
  • Cover remaining hair with shower cap to retain moisture during process
  • Add first clip-in to sectioned off hair
  • Repeat process a second time.
  • Tip: Make sure your clip-ins are freshly shampooed for seamless blending
  • Add cream hydrator and styling gel
  • Brush through from the ends all the way up to the root to evenly distribute
  • Two strand twist a medium section of the hair (each twist combining two sections)
  • Tip: Apply more styling gel at the end of twist and finger curl
  • Repeat the process through entire head
  • Leave a section at the top for blending
  • Hydrate your leave out and apply hydrator and styling gel
  • Part leave out in half and do two flat twists towards face
  • Tip: Using a white tshirt to blot excess product will cut drying time and help avoid residue
  • Tie hair using a scarf and secure with a bonnet for overnight care
  • In the morning, remove scarf and untwist hair
  • Untwist/separate each one individually without pulling at the definition
  • Make sure natural hair covers each clip-in and fluff using hands
  • Use a hair pick to fluff at the root for the ultimate volume

Overnight Care:

  • Pull majority of hair back and secure with a pony tail holder
  • Unclip any clip-ins that are pulling or causing tension to the scalp/hair
  • Tie scarf around hair and remove pony tail holder
  • Tuck ends of hair into scarf and tie securely
  • Tip: Clip-ins will not come out since they are twisted/blended with real hair

FAQ:

  • Were the clip-ins wet? Yes they were.
  • Can you sleep in clip-ins? Yes you can.
  • How long do you wear the clip-ins? No more than 5 days
  • Can I use clip-ins with shorter hair? Yes you can.
