Senegalese twists are one of the most popular protective hairstyles in the natural hair community (outside of box braids, cornrows, and havana twists).
“Senegalese twists are a popular and protective style for textured hair,”
“They resembles box braids but instead of three strands of hair, you use two to wrap around each other.”
Hair is neatly tucked away and looks somewhat similar to a rope–which is why this style is often nicknamed “rope twists.”
