Senegalese Twists Near You: A Sleek Protective Style

Senegalese twists are smooth, two-strand twists created with hair extensions. They have a sleek, polished finish that looks refined from the root to the tip, with a lightweight feel that many clients find more comfortable than heavier braided styles. The look is elegant and modern — equally at home at a client meeting or a night out.

At Braids by Favor in Crystal, MN, Senegalese twists are a popular choice for clients who want a protective style with a dressier edge. They can be worn long and flowing, styled into a bun, or pulled into a ponytail. Because the twist pattern is smooth rather than textured, Senegalese twists tend to catch the light beautifully and photograph especially well.

Making Your Twists Last

To get the most from your twists, keep your scalp moisturized, avoid heavy oils that can cause buildup at the roots, and sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet. Twists can loosen slightly over time, so a light re-twist of the front sections can refresh the style between appointments.
