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 Darling\u2019s Havana Twist.<\/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 than 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 hairband.<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 Long Twist into elaborate updos 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.
