What are twist braids?

Twists are made by wrapping two sections of hair around each other, which creates a rope-like texture. They can be done on your own hair or with extension hair added for length and fullness.

Choosing thickness and finish

Tell us the length, the thickness and whether you want smooth or fluffy twists. Thicker twists are quicker to install, and thinner twists take longer but look more delicate.

How to care for twist braids

Protect twists at night with a satin bonnet, keep the scalp moisturised and avoid heavy products that leave residue. Twist ends can loosen over time, so tell us at your appointment if this has been an issue for you.

Smooth or fluffy twists

Twists can be finished in different ways. Smooth twists look neat and defined, with a rope-like pattern from root to end. Fluffy twists have a softer, fuller look with more texture. The finish depends on how the hair is twisted and what hair is used, so send a reference photo of the look you like and we will tell you how close we can get.

Choosing size and length

Small twists look delicate and take longer to install. Medium twists are a balanced choice, and larger twists are quicker and bolder. Length changes the weight and the time, with shoulder, mid-back and waist-length all common. If you have fine hair or fragile edges, tell us so we can choose a size that is comfortable.

Natural hair or extension hair

Twists can be done on your own hair if it is long enough, which gives a lighter feel. Extension hair adds length and fullness and can make the twists last differently. We confirm in your quote whether hair is included, so tell us which option you prefer.

Styling twist braids

Wear twists down, pull them into a ponytail, pin them into a bun or twist a few together into an updo. A scarf or headband adds variety. Avoid very tight styles every day, because constant tension can stress the edges and scalp.

Comfort and your scalp

Twists are usually lighter than heavy braids, but any style can feel tight at first. Mild tightness on the first day can be normal, but sharp pain is not. Tell us straight away if a section feels too tight and we will adjust it. If you have lasting pain, bumps or swelling, take the twists down and speak to a doctor.

Keeping twists neat

Protect twists at night with a satin bonnet or scarf. Keep the scalp clean with diluted shampoo, rinse well and dry the twists fully so they do not stay damp. Use light moisture rather than heavy oils that build up. Twist ends can loosen over time, so avoid pulling at them, and tell us at your appointment if unravelling has been a problem for you.

Taking twists down

Take the style down once new growth begins to tangle at the root. Unravel the twists gently from the ends and use conditioner to detangle shed hair. If you want us to do it and set up a fresh style, message us to book.
