Twists are a top favorite technique in black hairstyles, along with braids. Twists allow extending your natural hair, attaching anything from quality commercial strands to dreadlocks. Many African American women hold themselves back from going natural simply because they have no idea of how they are going to style and protect their natural hair. Here are a couple of nice ideas in pictures, ladies.
The diversity of twists knows no limits. You can style chic, sophisticated hairstyles for special occasions or rock your twists every day in simple and effortless ‘dos. There are little tricks to know about twists. The larger your facial features are, and the fuller your figure is, the thicker your twists can be. If you still want thin twists, do not wear them freely hanging, but style them into a voluminous hairstyle. Check the images below!
Some Awesome Twist Braid Styles You Are Going To Love
#1: Multicolored Twist Hairstyle
Besides a beautiful twist style, sometimes a color can make a world of difference. Bring drama and uniqueness to your style by introducing some strands of a contrasting color, while keeping others the natural dark hue.
#2: Long Black Twists
The longer your twists, the more impressive the final result. If you are able to pull off very long hair, adding in some twists can be a beautiful expression of your culture and personal style. Although they tend to look quite heavy, in reality they aren’t much more burdensome than natural hair.
#3: Updo Twist Hairstyle
On warm days or just when you’re looking for an out-of-the-box style, an updo with a scarf or hair elastics can really show off those gorgeous twists. If your black hair is on the shorter side, you can still pull off a very cute updo without a lot of effort.
#4: African Inspired Hair Twists
The women of African nations are known for their lovely, intricate and yet practical hairstyles. Embrace a Western world version of an African hairstyle with thick, long twists that flatter most faces and hair types.
#5: Twisted Bun
Twist braids don’t always flow free – sometimes you can hold twists in place with a low bun. Tired of your natural afro or want something that allows hair to be a little longer? Both large and small twists look great down or up.
#6: Large Twists with Embellishment
Dark, long hair comes with a distinct advantage of being able to display hair embellishments in a truly stunning way. Try some gold hair bling or a brightly colored scarf. From flowers to jeweled barrettes – whatever you’re in the mood for, it’s sure to look lovely.
#7: Very Long Twist Braids
Rapunzel pulled it off, and you don’t have to be a white blonde to do it, too! Flaunt some twists that go long for days, and enjoy the beauty of mega long hair that really catches the eye. If you prefer to lighten up a bit, go for a beautiful reddish hue like mahogany, for instance.
#8: Ways to Style Twists
While dramatically long twists are super gorgeous, sometimes they aren’t conducive to fun activities like swimming. Pull them up into a half bun, ponytail or top knot when you want to cool off without sacrificing the condition of your beautifully coifed ‘do.
#9: Shoulder Length Twist Braids Hairstyle
Braids don’t have to be very long – a shoulder-length style is just as lovely and oftentimes more practical. The thicker the twists, the more volume you’ll get as a final result. Some women love to have tightly bound twists, while others go for a looser, more romantic look. Whatever you choose, this is a convenient yet beautiful hairstyle.
#10: Twisted Redhead
Bring some color to your twists to breathe new life into an otherwise heavy hairstyle. When twisting both hues together for a unique look, you will get a beautiful, summer-inspired look that cannot be easily duplicated.
#11: Kinky Twists Style
Personalize your twisted hairstyle with an asymmetric ‘do on the base of angled cornrows and twists. With the zigzag pattern being set with the braids, the twists lay in a natural state toward the bottom.
#12: Long Twists In Golden Blonde
Twists can be accentuated with an eye-popping color. When the golden blonde on top blends with the dark brown underneath, you are getting a fabulous ombre effect that looks unusual and special in twisted hairstyles.
#13: Two Strands Twist Hairstyle
Twists are different from braids because twists only use two strands instead of three. Twists are a great, creative choice as they can vary in thickness, texture and length, and last for weeks. If you’ve never had your hair twisted before, consider it next time you head over to the salon – it’s less common than braids and still just as gorgeous.
#14: Styling Long Twists
Take a cue from the islands and let your twists get beach-inspired. Kinky ends, a side part and some large flower embellishments will provide your hair with a romantic, island feel that’s perfect for summer, a luau or a fun photoshoot with friends.
#15: Dramatic Hair with A Shaved Design
Big twist braid hairstyles are unique and gorgeous. Using an untypical hue for twists is one way to personalize your hairstyle. And adding in some shaved designs at the nape will only enhance your originality.
#16: Long Black Twists
Look youthful and stunning with very long twist braids that are styled with height and smoothness. If you struggle with natural hair that tends to be quite stubborn, this is a style that lasts for some time and it’s relatively easy to maintain.
#17: Long Twist Braids
Big, thick and dramatic – a truly stylish way to rock long twists without conforming too closely to your peers. If you are a trend setter, don’t be surprised when others begin to duplicate your fun and free look.

#19: Long Twist Braid Ponytail
Grab a strong elastic and pull hair up and away from the face when you’re at the office or on the beach – or anywhere in between! Thick, long twists can be cumbersome when you’re trying to get things done, and a simple pony can work wonders.
#20: Tiny Intricate Twists
While it’s definitely more time-consuming at the salon, the end result of tiny twist braids is really beautiful. A multi-directional updo adds a hint of glamour, while wearing them down lends a carefree persona to your style.
#21: Big Twist Hairstyle with Color
Sometimes hair just really needs some accent – which is where purple or any other colorful extensions come in handy! Don’t overdo with them – a few strands instead of the majority of the hair. Not loving purple? Why not to try a teal hue, bright red, yellow, pink or even green.
#22: Long Multidirectional Twists
When you get your hair twisted, you can choose how to have it sectioned. If you’re looking to bring attention to the face or want something that will fall a little more uniquely than typical twists, ask for multidirectional twists, done as box braids.
