I have never been a very creative (or capable) mom when it comes to doing my girls’ hair. French braids? I never could get the hang of it. Ponytails? That was something I could handle…but they’re not always very stylish.
Now that we’re back to school, the kids are focusing on looking their best. If you remember your days in elementary and middle school (and even high school), you’ll remember that it’s incredibly important to look good – and FEEL good. But you’ll probably also remember that school mornings are often rushed and hectic. Or is that just my house?
We don’t always have time to do fancy hair styles before school, so I love that we’ve discovered a new (and super easy) way to create adorable hair-dos for my 12-year-old daughter. In just a few minutes before leaving for the bus, Reese can make cute twisty braids in her hair…and the best part? She can do it herself!
We’re just getting to know the Conair Quick Twist and experimenting with new styles, but there is a ton that you can do with the Quick Twist! Check out tons of adorable ideas on Conair’s Pinterest page (just look for the first board for Quick Twist styles).
A few tips for using the Conair Quick Twist:
- Long, smooth hair that is one length works best. We tried on Reese’s long bangs, but a lot of stragglers stuck out and the braid didn’t turn out quite as well.
- To make a twisty braid: take 2 equal sections of hair and clamp each section of hair in the Quick Twist.
- Taking too much hair will not produce the desired twist; practice with less first.
- Once hair is in the Quick Twist, pull it away from the head to make the sectioned hair in the appliance taut, dangling hair or hair that’s loose will not produce the desired style.
- Push the button to the ON position and allow the clasps to twist the hair up towards the scalp, otherwise the twist may not work well.
- Secure each twisty braid with a hair clip or mini elastic (included).
- Experiment with different styles. Make 2 twisty braids on each side of the head and bring them together in the back. Or make multiple twisty braids and pull them all back into fun, twisty pigtails. Or twist your twisty braids into a fun twisty bun.
- Use the included accessories to make your twisty braids even more fun – add a silky ribbon to your hair before twisting or “decorate” with colorful hair clips or mini elastics.
We are loving the Conair Quick Twist? for school day hair styles, but it is also a great litle appliance for slumber parties….and it would make the perfect birthday gift for a preteen birthday girl (they can be SO hard to shop for!!).
