Users claim to simply take the braids off when they tire of them, and crochet them back on when they\u2019re ready to sport big braids again. With a little practice, you can nail this style in less than an hour. Make sure to use high quality twists, such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/nigeria\/products\/crochet\/hawana\/\">Darling\u2019s Havana Twist.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Here\u2019s how you can go about applying your Havana Twists.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>1. Detangle your hair and apply your favourite oil to protect and moisturise the strands.<br \/>\n2. Working from under the crown, divide your hair into two sections. The lower section will be smaller the top section.<br \/>\n3. Braid your hair into cornrows, beginning at the front and going all the way up to the back.<br \/>\n4. Cornrow the hair in the lower section and secure the lower section together with a hair band.<br \/>\n5. You can have a smaller number of cornrows in the lower section as compared to the upper section if you like a fuller look towards the front of your head. However, bear in mind that the cornrows do not have to be perfect since the Mambo twists will cover them.<br \/>\n6. Using the crochet needle, hook the Havana Twists into your cornrows.<br \/>\n7. You can style your Havana Twists into elaborate up dos or wear them down in a free-flowing style.<\/p>\n<p>Like braids and cornrows, Havana Twists require regular care and maintenance to keep looking their best.
