How To Curl Your Hair Overnight With Twists 8 Steps

If you do not have time to wash your hair or if you have recently washed and dried it, then you can also spray water onto your hair to make it damp.

Make sure that you apply the leave-in conditioner while your hair is still damp. Do not put it on after you hair has dried. [4] X Research source

You can also use mousse in place of hair gel. Mousse contains alcohol, so it will dry out your hair a bit and this will help to hold the curls for longer.

It is important to position the twists on top of your head because putting them on the sides or back of your head might make sleeping uncomfortable. You can use hair clips to secure your hair in high pigtails until you are ready to twist them or just do one pigtail at a time. If you have lots of hair or if your hair is thick, then you might find it easier to separate it into more than two sections. [7] X Research source

Repeat the same process on the other side.

To check the dryness of your hair, remove one of the hair ties and unfurl the twist part way. Then feel the hair in the center of the twist to see if it is dry. When your hair is completely dry, you can remove the hair ties.

You can divide the big curls so that the spirals are all about the same size or create different sized spirals. Do not use a brush or comb. If you brush or comb through the spirals, then they will lose their form and become frizzy.

Make sure that the texturizing spray gets onto all of the spirals. You may even want to flip your hair upside down to reach the ones underneath.
