• Step 2: Choose a preferred hair part; side, center or deep side part, then grab 2 - 3 inches of hair at the section that is closest to the part. Split the grabbed section again into two chunks of hair and twist the pieces on top and over each other.
• Step 3: This step is where you add extra hair to your twists. Working on the side of your head, pick up a new section of your hair just below the first section and work it into it. Then, twist the two pieces together. Continue repeating this process until you reach the end of the hair section. Make sure that you add more hair as you go to each twist. Twist the ends of the section and secure it with an elastic once you've reached the back of your head.
• Step 4: Move the twisted section over to the other side of your hair and use bobby pins to secure it.
• Step 5: Repeat the twisting on the other side of your hair and secure it with bobby pins as you did the first twist.
• Step 6: To give the twist more texture loosen it up a little by massaging the hair out of your twist. This gives you a Bohemian vibe.
• Step 7: Finish the look by using a medium hold hairspray to secure the style and keep it from losing firmness.

• Step 6: Once you've gotten to the temple of your hair go in the opposite direction and create one curved stitch braid with its tail ends up towards your forehead, instead of the middle of your head.
