Not too much though, it can be very heavy. I do this three times a week and my natural hair and Marley braids love it. Try scalp cleansers and cleansing sprays like the Moisture Clenz I mentioned earlier. I spritz my scalp once a week to keep this style maintained. Use a satin scarf to secure the back and cover your edges. Not into scarves? Try a satin pillowcase instead. In the morning simply style as usual. Follow these tips and maintaining this protective style will be a piece of cake!
Let us know how these tips worked for you! You can also apply a little gel as you need it during the twisting process. Gel should only be used in small dabs for the purpose of smoothing down stray pieces.
Bend a section of Marley hair. Take one section of Marley hair from your package and bend it at the halfway point. Hold it between two fingers at this point so that it forms an upside-down U-shape. Take this time to separate the strands of the Marley hair.
Since the hair comes in tightly bundled sections, separating these sections is definitely necessary. All you really need to do is to pull down on each section a few times until you notice the hair start to unwind or loosen from its bundle. They should still be clumped together well enough to work with when done.
You should also play with both hanging ends of the section so that the hair tapers off instead of coming to a blunt, hard stop. Place the bend around one section of your own hair. Start with a section of hair at the back and bottom of your head. Place the bent center of your Marley hair over the top of your real hair, keeping your real hair in the center. You should be holding three sections of hair in your hands at this point.
Braid it in place. Braid the three sections together for about 1 inch 2. This braid will secure the extensions in your hair. After you braid the hair, rearrange the remaining loose ends so that you have two sections instead of three. The simplest way to do this is to split the center section in half, distributing equal amounts of the section to the two side sections.
Twist the hair to the end. Twist the remaining two loose sections around each other, wrapping them securely enough so that they feel tight, but keeping them loose enough to prevent them from starting to coil into a spring. After you let go of a finished twist, it will likely spring back a little and feel somewhat loose. This should not be a problem, though. The twist is still thick enough to stay in place.
Tidy the end. Use scissors or a razor blade to shave off any hair that extends past your desired length. Seal the end by dipping it into boiling water. When cutting off the excess hair, use the sharp side of the blade and carefully pass it over the ends at a vertical angle. This creates a more natural looking end.
Do not cut the hair straight across as though you were cutting into a piece of paper. Boil the water in a saucepan on the stove. After it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and dip your hair into it then. Do not dip the ends of your hair into the boiling water while it is still over an active heating element on your stove.
Dry the ends with a towel when done. Repeat as needed. Use the same procedure outlined above with the remaining sections of your hair.
Continue twisting in Marley extensions until your entire hair has been styled. Only leave the hair in the boiling water for a few seconds. Dry them off with a towel when done. For added flair, you can also curl the untwisted ends of each section with perm rods or a curling iron, but doing so is only optional. Part 3. Wash your hair using spray bottles. You can maintain your usual hair washing routine as far as frequency is concerned, but to maintain the integrity of your twists, you should spray your scalp with diluted shampoo from a spray bottle.
Rinse using a spray bottle of water. Fill one-eighth of the spray bottle with shampoo and the rest with water. Shake well to combine before use. Your main attention should be on the scalp rather than on the hair itself.
It is far better to clean your hair using spray bottles than to rinse the Marley twists under running water. Once soaked, the twists are very heavy. They can also take about two days to dry from a soaked state. If you normally need to wash your hair more frequently than this, try using diluted shampoo once a week and dry shampoo for the in-between washings. Apply hair oil. Use the pads of your fingers to release dirt from the scalp.
Lift hair to ensure that all shampoo has been rinsed away well. Use a liberal amount of conditioner on the hair, focusing on the length of your natural hair, not the scalp. Apply in a downward motion. Rinse the conditioner out well with warm water. Follow with a cool-water rinse to help lock in moisture and reduce frizz. Bending at the waist, wrap a t-shirt or towel around the back of your head. Twist and tuck to secure and dry hair. Let hair dry for approximately five minutes.
