Boho Twist Tutorial with Loose Deep Wave Hair — Lightweight & Gorgeous for Summer

If you’ve been searching for a lightweight protective style that’s perfect for summer, this boho twist tutorial is for you. Using loose deep wave hair and the feed-in twist method, you can create lightweight protective styles that look full, bouncy, and effortlessly chic.

Why Boho Twists Are Perfect for Summer

Boho twists are a go-to protective style for natural hair because they combine beauty and functionality. While you can wear them year-round, summer protective hairstyles really shine thanks to their ability to keep your natural hair tucked away, reduce heat styling, and still give you a carefree boho knotless twist look.

This style is also beginner-friendly—you don’t have to know how to braid, just how to twist.

What You’ll Need

Tips: the model used 3 bundles 20" Double Drawn Loose Deep Wave Bulk Human Braiding Hair

• Loose Deep Wave Human Hair (Lucy Wave texture)—3 bundles recommended (use about 2–2.5 bundles for human hair boho twists)

• Synthetic Braiding Hair—1.5 packs (braiding hair for boho twist styles)

• Shiny Jam (Magic Fingers recommended)

• Braiding Rack

• 3-Way Mirror (for easier DIY boho twists step-by-step)

• Clips

• Comb for Sectioning

• Scissors (for trimming ends)

Prep Your Hair for Twisting

1. Pre-Part Your Hair—Create 5 rows across the top and 2 rows below the ears.
   This gives you about 60–62 shoulder-length boho twists and keeps sections even.

2. Anchor with a Braid—Start each twist with a small braid for secure roots and longer-lasting results. This step helps prevent puffiness and is key for natural-looking boho twists.

Twist Technique

1. Feed-In Method—For beginner-friendly twist hairstyles, add 2–3 small pieces of loose wave braiding hair at the start. For thinner sections in the front, use 3 pieces for extra fullness.

2. Roll Before Twisting—Rolling the hair before crossing strands keeps the twist plump and rounded instead of flat.

3. Add Human Hair Gradually—Feed in 5–6 pieces per twist, spacing them evenly for a lightweight twist hairstyle with volume.

4. Keep Tension Light—Use a clip at the root to prevent pulling.

5. Length Control—For shoulder length, use 42" braiding hair and add loose deep wave human hair halfway down for an even finish.

Finishing Touches

• Secure Ends—Knot each twist twice to prevent unraveling (how to keep boho twists from unraveling).

• Dip in Hot Water—This seals the style and smooths the ends.

• Optional Trim—Create a blunt finish for a polished look.

• Fluff for Volume—Perfect for boho twists for summer vacation or everyday wear.

The result is a full, soft, and lightweight protective style that’s perfect for warm weather.
