Amp it up a notch: If you know how to flat twist or cornrow loose hair, then go ahead! Mix up your style by flat twisting or corn rowing the sides or front of your hair and then two-strand twisting the remaining section. (To learn how to flat twist, check this earlier post. The videos included there taught me how to flat twist!)
