7. Side-swept twists

A middle part may be the most traditional way to style twists, but it’s definitely not the only way. With a simple change of the parting, you can give your twists a new look, and this move will only take a few seconds and doesn’t require any special tools.

8. Senegalese twists

Senegalese twists have been everywhere for the past few years, and it’s not surprising. They are some of the most versatile, easy, and low-maintenance protective styles you can get today. To make things more interesting, you can add a pop of colour with the help of highlights.

9. Wired twists

Regular black or brown twists of the same length are probably the most popular way to rock twists, but if you want your hairstyle to look more striking, there are some easy and effective things you can do. One of them is adding a metallic wire to your twists for a shiny new look.
