TJ’s Hair Braiding

TWIST STYLE

Senegalese Twists

Smooth, rope-like twists with a glossy, uniform finish — a refined protective style known for its sleek texture and lasting hold.

About This Style

Senegalese twists are created by twisting two strands of extension hair together in a tight, rope-like pattern, resulting in a smooth, glossy finish that’s slightly thinner and more uniform than passion twists. They’re a classic, elegant protective style that works beautifully at any length.

Variations & Options

Available in small, medium, or large twist sizes, with options for straight-back, half-up, or bun styling. Length can range from shoulder to waist-length.

Who This Style May Suit

Senegalese twists suit clients who want a sleek, polished protective style with a smooth, defined texture rather than a curly or textured finish.

Preparation Guidance

Arrive with clean, dry, and well-detangled hair for the smoothest twist application.

Maintenance Tips

Moisturize your scalp regularly, apply a light oil to keep twists glossy, and sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet to reduce frizz.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Twisting is done section by section for a uniform, polished finish — appointment length depends on the size and length you choose.
