How-To: 

  1. Prep with Waves: Begin by curling the hair into loose beach waves. Use the SUTRA Infrared Curling Iron for sleek, voluminous waves. The Infrared technology adds shine to the hair, giving it a radiant finish that traditional tools can't achieve.
  2. Add Volume: Lightly tease the hair at the roots for subtle volume. Don't go overboard; just a gentle tease will do.
  3. Smooth and Set: Spray a bit of SUTRA’s Heat Guard: Hairspray for a flexible hold and brush the top of the hair to smooth out any fly-a-ways, ensuring a polished look.
  4. Twist and Pin: Gather the hair up into a twist, pulling it upwards. Pin the sides underneath the roots and into the gathered hair. Use open Bobby pins on one side to shape the twist.
  5. Lock in Place: Secure the twist using closed bobby pins, but be sure to leave some hair out on top for a modern twist. This step is crucial for keeping the hairstyle intact throughout the day.
  6. Personalize the Twist: Take the hair on top and twist/ pin it according to your client's preference, allowing you to create a unique, modern twist on the classic hairstyle.
  7. Accessorize: For an added touch of flair, consider incorporating accessories like gold pins into the hairstyle to elevate and modernize the look even further.
  8. Final Touch: Finish off the look by curling the front pieces of hair using SUTRA’s Patented Infrared Thermal Brush. This final step adds a polished touch to the hairstyle, completing the overall look.
