Step #2: Separate the section into two even strands.
Step #3: Begin twisting the strand. Make sure when you're at the top you're doing your twists as close to your scalp as possible.
Make your twist as tight as possible.
Step #4: Once you get to the end of the strand, twist the end around your finger so that it won't come loose.
Then repeat this process until your whole head is finished.
