How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with freshly washed, deeply conditioned hair, then part it into neat sections.

This is non-negotiable for a clean install.

I usually stretch each section with a little mousse before twisting to ensure the Marley hair blends seamlessly with the natural texture.

Twist each section firmly but not tightly.

And dip the ends in hot water to seal them.

That quick step makes all the difference in preventing unraveling and keeps the twists looking fresh for weeks.
