To enhance curl retention, apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Spray generously before curling and ensure hair is completely dry. Use a higher heat setting on your curling iron and hold each section for 8-10 seconds. Allow curls to cool completely before breaking them apart with fingertips for longer-lasting hold.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This twisted half crown works best on shoulder-length or longer hair. For shorter styles, focus on creating the windswept texture with TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and curl just the top sections. Pin smaller twisted sections at the crown for a modified version of the look.
Use at least 6-8 bobby pins to anchor the twisted crown, crisscrossing them for maximum hold. Pin every 2 inches along the crown and finish with TRESemmé Extra Hold Hair Spray. For extra security, lightly tease the hair at the crown before twisting to create grip.
A 1-inch barrel curling iron creates the ideal tight ringlets that break apart into the windswept texture Jonathan Simkhai showcased. Smaller barrels (3/4 inch) work for finer hair, while thicker hair may need a 1.25-inch barrel. Avoid barrels larger than 1.5 inches as they won't create enough texture.
Yes, second-day hair actually works better for this style as it has more natural texture and grip. Skip the washing step and apply TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo at the roots before curling. The natural oils help hold the twisted crown in place without slipping.
