Long twists created using smooth hair extensions (often Kanekalon), tightly twisted for a silky and lustrous finish.
Senegalese Twists: Twisted Elegance from West Africa
Long, Smooth, and Shiny Twists
Senegalese twists are long, thin or thick twists, generally made with smooth synthetic hair extensions like kanekalon. Their twisted appearance is very regular, offering an elegant and neat finish. Originating from Senegal, they captivate with their shiny finish and ease of styling. It's a trendy Afro hairstyle that combines modernity and tradition.
Ideal for Protecting Coily Hair
Like classic twists, Senegalese twists protect natural hair by limiting daily manipulation. They are perfect for hair transition periods or growth routines. Thanks to their smooth texture, they don't snag easily and are therefore less likely to cause hair breakage, provided the roots are not pulled too tightly during installation.
A Chic Look to Personalize
This Afro hairstyle can be worn loose, tied in a bun, or in a ponytail. You can also play with the length and color of the extensions to create an ombré, two-tone, or tie & dye effect. Senegalese twists are suitable for both an active daily life and more sophisticated events, provided they are carefully maintained and the lengths are protected every night.
