How to do Passion Twists on Natural Hair
In this tutorial you will learn how to do passion twists on natural hair. This method is easy but it is just one of many methods that you use. This is a great method to learn how to do passion twists on natural hair. You can do this on yourself as It involves having to pre-section and braid your hair a little bit. But it does come out fabulous when finished.
This method is perfect for all hair types whether you have natural hair. With any curl pattern such as 3A - 3B or 4A to 4C , or even if your hair is relaxed (permed) or silky. The method I will be showing you today will keep your hair in place. Which prevents the passion twist hair from slipping. It will also allow you to twist from the base of the hair rather than braiding the passion twist hair and then twisting. This tutorial showing you how to do passion twists on natural hair does not require any rubberbands!
Finished Result
The image below shows finished results of my passion twists. Mind you I do have 4C natural hair, it wasn't blowdried or straightened for this install. I just stretched my hair the night before to prep for my install. Stretching your natural hair makes it easier to comb and work it, especially if your hair is super thick like mine.
Tools Required
- Passion Twist Hair in Water Wave 5 packs by Jorie Hair (I used textured Passion Twist Hair as my hair is natural and I did not want a silky look, but feel free to use other brands of Passion Twist Hair).
- Crochet Latch Hook (Although we are doing individual passion twists, this is still required for this method of install).
- Hair Mousse (It is highly recommended to set the hair and define the ends. I used My Hair Matters Volume Boost from Sainsburys which I have found to work better than other brands.)
- Hair Gel or Edge Control (optional)
Prepping Passion Twist Hair
The first thing you need to do with your Passion Twist hair is prep it, by fluffing the hair. The hair I am using is quite easy to fluff. You simply run your fingers through it until it looks like the image below. I avoid fluffing the ends of the hair as I like the wave pattern at the tips of the hair. By only fluffing the middle section you get more defined ends.
Sectioning Hair
Section your hair into square boxes like the below or triangle or just random parting. It is probably best to section your whole head first to get it out of the way before attaching your hair. Plait the section (only the base) like the below. The reason we plait just a little of the hair is to hold the passion twist hair when we attach it. This method prevents slippage and allow you to grip the hair easily. It is especially handy if your grip game is not professional level yet, it also means that you do not have to braid the passion twist hair in the beginning.
Attaching Passion Twist Hair
For this step you will need your latch hook. You will attach the passion twist hair through the base of the braid like below. Then pull out one end of the passion twist hair.

Hi, I read your Hair blog, it’s useful for Passion Twist Hair and I gained more information. The blog is so informative and helped me break so many of the myths I had about my hair. The language is so easy to read and understand. Thanks for the update.
Thank you and greetings from the USA!
For some reason, your explanation was super easy to follow for someone who has only installed twists just twice in her life!! Perhaps I’m theoretical in my learning and not so visual. I always had a hard time following the many You Tube videos out there. Fantastic job of explaining each step! Again, thanks so much! 4C hair type.
