Soft and curly twist out

Twist out with minimum separation
It’s totally up to you how much separation and fluffing you do on your curls once you undo your twists.
As you can see from this pic, minimum separation helps you to keep the definition of the individual strands of a two-strand twist-out style.

Separated and still defined twist out
Separating your twists may take a bit of practice but you can do it! Just go slowly at first until you get the hang of it.

Fully separated twist out
Full separation of your twist is another twist-out style option to consider. It gives more volume without having each strand of your two-strand twists being too defined.

To get different types of twist-out curls in different sections of your hair try:

Twist out on a sew-in
Protective styles are an important part of a good natural hair care routine. Twists and sew-in weaves are just two options.
Protective styles keep your hair safe from over-manipulation and external stress factors. When done right, protective styles can help you grow longer, healthier hair.
