What you’ll need:
Small rubber hair elastics
Hair ties
A bun maker
Hair pins & bobby pins
A hair smoother & teaser (or a toothbrush instead!)
A hair brush
& of course, your Conair Quick Twist!

+ Tie your hair up in a high ponytail wherever you want your bun to be.
+ Separate a 2 inch chunk of hair to be twisted! I used a claw clip to hold the rest of my hair away to one side.
+ Brush out that section so that it’s nice and smooth.
+ Split that section into two pieces.
+ Clip those sections into your Conair Quick Twist!

+ Remember to hold your Conair Quick Twist nice and taut (extended & tight) and not lax or loose otherwise your rope braid won’t twist correctly!
+ When you’re ready, turn on your Quick Twist and let it do its thing until you’ve reached your desired twist tightness (a few seconds).
+ Then, manually rotate your Quick Twist towards the right (follow the arrow on the side) to complete your rope braid!
+ Pinch the end of your braid and release it from the Quick Twist.
+ Secure your rope braid with a small rubber hair elastic.

+ Make sure your rope braid is secured.
+ Take the remainder of your ponytail and lightly tease it for volume.
+ Loop only the remaining unbraided section of your hair through a bun maker.
+ Make sure your rope braid is still outside of it!
+ Wrap your teased hair around the bun maker for a messy effortless bun look & pin it in place using bobby pins & hair pins!
+ Your rope braid should still be left outside of it like this funny tail! 🙂

+ Take your rope braid and wrap it around the base of your bun.
+ Take care to keep it loose so that it doesn’t get hidden underneath!
+ Pin it in place using bobby pins and hair pins.
+ Smooth out any bumps and flyaways with a smoothing brush or a toothbrush.
+ And of course, check yourself out! 😉
