As the Fall approaches, and you prepare to head back to campus or the office, you may be looking for protective hairstyles. Here are 11 gorgeous ways you can wear twists as a natural hair protective style.
Unique and Easy Twist Hairstyles for Natural Hair
Check out these twist hairstyles for natural hair:
1. Short Micro Twists
Love the look and feel of short hair? Try micro twists to keep your hair looking cute yet away from your face while in the office. Micro twists are so versatile that they can be worn in a variety of hairstyles, and can be accessorized in so many ways. Also, with the twists being so small, they are bound to last you a few weeks longer which in turn gives your hair the chance to flourish and thrive.
2. Shoulder Length Twists
With medium-sized, shoulder-length twists like this, you will spend no more than 4-5 hours in the salon chair, plus you will be left with a hairstyle that lasts you the first few weeks in school or in the office! Increase the longevity of this style by using TRESemmé Unscented Dry Shampoo to spot clean your braids.
3. Natural Hair Twists
If you’re not feeling like adding extensions to your natural hair, embrace your own hair by putting your afro in twists. When the twists are parted and split evenly, you can create a variety of hairstyles with the look. A cute way to wear the style is in a half up half down style that creates the effect of having bangs such as in the photo above. Use Emerge My Everything Hair Styling Butter Cream to help make your coils more tangible while styling.
4. Long Blonde Twists
If you love wearing your hair long and proud, then try these twists! Put a twist on them by adding a pop of neutral colors such as a blonde, auburn, or light brown.
5. Twists with Natural Highlights
Another gorgeous way to spice up your twists with some colors is with natural-colored highlights. This is great to try if you’re yearning for some color but you’re not ready to commit to a full-on pop of color.
6. Jumbo Twists on Natural Hair
Jumbo Twists are so fast and easy to install on your natural hair and will last you at least 4 weeks. They are the perfect hairstyle for making a statement while also protecting your natural hair.
7. Ribbon Tied Twists
Due to the size of jumbo twists, it can be difficult to sometimes style them. A beautiful way to style them is in ponytails with gorgeous ribbons that match your outfit for the day.
8. Bobble Tie Twists
Bobble Ties aren’t only for toddlers! With this fun and creative take on natural hair twists, you are bound to set trends in any room you enter this Fall.
9. Colorful Rubber Band Twists
Are you loving the look of the colorful bobble ties but afraid that it might be too much for you? Then use colorful rubber bands throughout your twists as an alternative. Just spread them evenly throughout your twists until you have the look that is just right for you.
10. Crochet Twists
Crocheting is definitely the fastest way to install twists. The process involves cornrowing your natural hair then proceeding to crochet the pre-twisted hair into the braids. When installing your cornrows use SheaMoisture’s Moringa & Avocado Power Greens Reconstructor to assist in a neat and frizz-free installation process.
