How to Achieve Juicy Voluminous Mini Twists on Short Hair Using Spring Twist Extensions

(aka The Illusion Twist Trick You Didn’t Know You Needed)

So your hair’s short, tapered, and cute — but you’re out here craving that juicy mini twist look with drama, bounce, and a little “is that all yours?” mystery. Sis, the answer is spring twist extensions — because sometimes the real hair needs a lil stunt double.

💡 Why Extensions?

When your hair’s got volume but not length, or your taper cut is living its best life but you want a new look today, may be you have thin hair and want to add some volume. Extensions step in like the unproblematic best friend. Spring twist extensions are lightweight, natural-looking, and mimic afro natural hair so well people will squint trying to find where your hair ends and begins.

🔥 Why You’ll Love This Look

• Low Tension, High Drama: Lightweight twists that don’t drag your edges.
• Protective but Fly: Your real hair is tucked away like royalty in a 5-star spa.
• Grows with You: This style gets fluffier and cuter as the days roll on.

🛠️ What You’ll Need

• Spring twist extensions (pre-separated = less chaos)
• Curling cream
• Tail comb for parting
• Hair clips
• A crochet needle (optional but helpful)
• Snacks and patience (the real MVPs)

🎉 How I Did It (Short Hair, Don’t Care Edition)

1. Prep the hair. Clean, moisturize, stretch if you like. If you don’t, we move.
2. Do that round parting thing. Remember, soft curves, not ruler-straight lines. Your goal is volume, not math class.
3. Part and apply curling cream as though you’re going to twist your own hair.
4. Apply the curling on the extension too to give you that wet juicy look.
5. Add the extension.
   • Take the juicy piece of the spring twist hair and fold it in half.
   • Attach it to your section and your section will be the third leg to make 3 legs. Braid it for a few strokes, then proceed with two-strand twist (twist your hair with the extension until it blends seamlessly).
   • Keep it snug but comfy. No tug-of-war with your scalp, please.
6. Twist away! Go mini and tight with consistent tension. Spring twist hair does half the work for you — it’s designed to stay springy.
7. Let it set. Let the twists rest and fluff naturally. You’ll wake up tomorrow looking expensive.
8. You may cut the funny ends after it’s dry (optional)
