What are twist braids called?

Twist braids, or Senegalese twists, are popular and stylish protective hairstyles. These braids involve twisting two strands of braiding hair extensions around each other, creating a distinctive and textured look. Senegalese twists are characterized by their smaller size, sleek appearance, and the use of synthetic hair extensions to achieve added length and volume. The name "Senegalese" originates from the West African country, Senegal, where this braiding technique has cultural significance. This style offers versatility, allowing for various lengths, thicknesses, and even the incorporation of different colors. Senegalese twists are favored for their durability, low maintenance, and ability to protect natural hair, making them a go-to option for individuals seeking a chic and protective braided hairstyle.
