Now that we've officially been social distancing for a few weeks, it's safe to say it's going to be a while [1] before many of us are able to make hair appointments again. If you have natural hair [2], chances are you're already used to following an extensive at-home hair routine, but the one area you probably enlist a little help is with a protective style [3] like braids or twists (especially in the spring and summer months).

Convenient as they are, box braids and twists [4] styles — specifically passion twists [5] — can be time-consuming and a bit of a doozy to install. But with the amount of helpful tutorials [6] available online these days, that doesn't mean it isn't possible to learn. If you're currently trying to learn how to do your own passion twists, check out a few extremely helpful tutorials that we've rounded up ahead — and make sure you have some water wave braiding hair [7] on hand.
