Afro Twists
Defined rope twists using soft Afro textured fibre that look like stretched natural hair and feel light enough for everyday wear. Wash, hydration treatment and premium fibre are included with every booking.
Is Afro Twists a good match for you
Choose this style if you love the look of natural textured hair that has been carefully twisted and you want a low manipulation style that still feels soft and wearable.
- You like a fuller, fluffy finish that looks close to your own Afro texture rather than a very sleek braid.
- You prefer twists that you can pin up, wear down or style to the side without too much daily manipulation.
- Your routine allows simple weekly care like light hydrating, oiling your scalp and wrapping your hair at night.
- You want a style that fits both work and weekends while still feeling relaxed and true to your natural texture.
When not to get this style
- Pause if your scalp is already irritated. If you recently had a tight style, notice redness, flaking, burning or soreness, start with a Scalp Treatment and choose a low tension style while your scalp recovers.
- Skip if your hair feels very dry or is breaking easily. Afro fibre grips best onto hair that has some strength and moisture. If your ends feel rough or you see a lot of breakage, we recommend a Deep Conditioning Treatment and a trim before installing twists.
- Reconsider if you dislike any routine at all. Afro Twists need simple care like wrapping at night and light hydration so the fibre does not matt. If you prefer a style you can forget completely, a smoother braid like Knotless or Box Braids may suit you better for now.
- If your hair has been recently coloured or heat stretched and feels fragile. A Hydration Treatment can help restore moisture and elasticity so twists sit comfortably and your hairline stays protected.

See the look
Afro Twists combine neat, secure roots with soft textured fibre through the lengths so the style looks like stretched natural hair with gentle movement.
Hair and fibre notes in plain language
We keep the science simple and focus on how your hair and twists behave in real life.
- Afro textured fibre for a natural look. We use soft kinked fibre that blends well with 3b to 4c textures so the finish looks like stretched natural hair rather than silky extensions.
- Twist tension that respects your hairline. Sections are sized and twisted to hold securely without overloading delicate areas like your edges and nape.
- Treatments to support the style. A Hydration Treatment before your booking can help curls feel plump and elastic, while Deep Conditioning Treatment is ideal if your hair feels dry or has been coloured.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits to keep your Afro Twists soft, neat and comfortable from week one to takedown.
- Hydrate, do not saturate. Use a light water based spray or leave in on your roots and exposed hair a few times a week. Avoid soaking the fibre so it does not feel heavy.
- Oil your scalp lightly. A few drops of a light scalp friendly oil along the parts is enough. Heavy oils can cause buildup and itching.
- Wrap at night. A satin scarf or bonnet helps reduce friction, frizz and lint so your twists stay smooth.
- Hands off the ends. Twisting or pulling on the ends out of habit can cause frizz and knots. Gently separate any tangles with your fingers only.
- Wear for 4 to 6 weeks. This range balances hair protection with scalp health and makes takedown kinder on your natural hair.
Questions clients often ask
Will my twists unravel
We secure each twist carefully at the ends and use fibre that holds its shape well. With normal care most clients do not experience unraveling. If anything feels loose within the first few days you can reach out for a quick check.
How long do Afro Twists last
On average this style looks and feels its best for four to six weeks. After that new growth and natural frizz can make the style feel less fresh and removal more time consuming.
Is this gentle enough for a tender scalp
Afro Twists can be very gentle when installed with the right section size and tension. During your consult we check your scalp comfort and can suggest a Scalp Treatment beforehand if needed.
Can I gym or travel with this style
Yes. For gym sessions a satin scarf or band over your roots helps manage sweat. When travelling, wrapping your hair at night and refreshing your scalp with a mist keeps the style feeling clean and light.
Will my twists feel heavy or rough
No. We choose fibre that feels soft to the touch and build volume in layers so your style feels full but not weighty. Your service includes a full hydration ritual and a 72 hour comfort adjustment window if any area needs to be eased.
