1. Short kinki twists
Even if you have super short hair, you can still enjoy the lovely and trendy kinki twists. To make your hairstyle stand out even more, you can add a pop of colour by going for an ombre look, but even natural-coloured twists will always look beautiful.

2. Medium-length twists
One of the greatest things about kinki twists is that they don’t need elaborate styling to look cute and put-together. If you have medium-length natural black hair, your kinki twist hairstyle is all you need to feel stylish. Try a side part for an upgraded look!

3. Half-up, half-down
Even if you’re a big fan of letting your kinki twists fly loose in everyday situations, sometimes you need a more elaborate hairstyle for a special occasion. If you want your hair to look professionally done but don’t want to spend hours in a hairdresser’s chair, try the half-up, half-down hairstyle – it’s as beautiful as it’s easy to create.

4. Colourful kinki twists
An easy way to make your hairstyle look brand new is to add some colour to your kinki twists. Red is an especially popular option this year, but you can also try blue, blonde, or pastel colours, since there are only a few weeks left before spring.

If you are not ready to let go of your natural hair colour but still want to do something different to your kinki twist, this idea will allow you to get the best of both worlds. Dyeing your hair ends does not do any substantial damage to your hair yet looks trendy and fresh.
