No matter the occasion or just for everyday chicness, twist braid styles are guaranteed to add flair. Add colorful strands for even more creative expression!
Very Long Twists
If you have super-long hair, one way to elevate your style and add drama is with a rope twist style with highlighted strands. To achieve this style, wash and dry your locks, then separate a small section of hair from twisting together before leaving the ends free to drop naturally.
Another stylish way to wear rope twists is in a low ponytail. This chic style keeps your locks out of your face and protects them from heat damage or over-styling, providing additional heat and styling protection. Add beads or other decorative components for more flair!
Chunky twists are an eye-catching style for those with thick natural hair that allows them to stand out. Additionally, chunk twists are an effective way of showing off temp fade haircuts.
Shoulder-Length Twists
Passion twists have quickly become one of the most fashionable hairstyles to try. They provide an innovative way of wearing two-strand twists, fall beautifully around the face, and give a lovely softness.
Try the mermaid passion twist hairstyle, which utilizes pre-dyed strands to create a unique texture and make an impactful statement. Perfect for women looking to add color but needing more time to dye their hair!
Finally, why not give half-up, half-down passion twists a try? They offer an elegant boho vibe and make great conversation starters for any occasion!
Very Long Braids
If your locks have enough length for a high braided ponytail, it will surely leave an impression. This style can keep hair out of your face while looking stylish, complementing any ensemble,, and add the perfect finishing touch!
If your strands are long enough, flat-twist braids can add dramatic flair to this look. Braids of this thickness create a thick center surrounded by thin strands to give the style an authentic Celtic knotwork aesthetic.
Be it for a festival and looking to add a bohemian aesthetic or simply keeping cool during an intense heat wave – this look can keep your hair off of your shoulders and out of your eyes – plus, its versatility allows for you to mix and match colors of braids for an eye-catching style that’s sure to turn heads!
Senegalese Twists
Senegalese twists are thicker at the roots and thin out towards the ends, creating an easy-care protective style with stylish appeal.
Try switching up the colors of Senegalese twists to achieve significant ombre effects. Burgundy and red looks great against black hair and can give a bold, confident appearance.
Medium-length Senegalese twists are an excellent way to keep your twists out of the way and still look cute, making an updo possible. Box braids may only last briefly, but Senegalese twists offer more maintenance-free beauty! Alternatively, pull them back into a half ponytail for an informal style and pair them with some bold earrings and a bandana.
Fauxhawk
If you aren’t ready for a full mohawk haircut, consider a tapered faux hawk with side braids as an interim style. It works exceptionally well on 4C hair because its bold appearance does not necessitate shaving the sides.
Flat twists offer another more subdued variation on this look, creating a more defined style for those with medium or long hair. They stay close to regular twists while remaining close to the scalp, offering more defined looks.
Add an eye-catching flair to your faux hawk with colored accents, such as bleaching the tips of twisted hair for an eye-catching finish. This style works exceptionally well when attending special events like weddings.
