TYPES OF BRAIDS OFFERED

Senegalese twists, also known as rope twists, are a gloriously beautiful protective style loved by Black women across the world. They’re a little more modern than box braids and offer something different if you want to move away slightly from braided styles. Senegalese twists differ from other twisted styles as they use Kanekalon hair, which is traditionally used for box braids — X-pression and Sensationnel tend to be the go-to brands for Kanekalon hair. As this hair is a lot smoother (it resembles kinky locks that have been blown out), Senegalese twists tend to be sleeker and tighter in appearance compared to other twisted styles. Havana, Marley and Kinky twists use Marley hair, which is more matched to a natural kinky hair texture.

A Nubian twist is created by twisting hair into hair extensions that come in a very tight, coiled pattern. They're different from box braids, Senegalese twists and other protective braid styles due to their lack of sheen.

Passion twists were created by the talented Miami-based hairstylist Kailyn Rogers. Online, she's known as The Boho Babe, and the name is appropriate for someone who developed a look that’s so artsy and offbeat. Rogers invented the style for her clients that wanted a natural, easy-to-maintain hairdo while also radiating high levels of glam. 

Marley twists are two-strand twists created using Marley braiding hair. These extensions have a textured appearance and provide your mane with a soft finish. Marley twists are also a fabulous way to play with length. You can rock short Marley twists or long Marley twists to suit your fancy. In other words, the possibilities are vast and definitely fashionable.

Tree braids are a protective style also known by the term invisible braids. The idea is that you don’t see the braids in your hair, and only the ends of the extensions that have been installed into the braid are visible. However, some women opt for getting the tree braid effect with regular box braid styles.

This type of braid is chosen over other braided hairstyles, like box braids or twists, because they take less time to install. Additionally, since the ends of the hair are left out, you also have the flexibility to style the length of your hair as you please.

Simply put, cornrows are traditionally African hairstyle in which hair is braided close to the scalp, in rows of braids.
