    Box Braids Hair Twists

    Q&A with style creator, Hamdiyah Holliman
    Natural Hair Specialist @ Elyt Styles in Lawrenceville, GA

    How would you describe this look?

    I chose this look, box braid twist, to compliment my client’s hair texture and facial structure. Amongst numerous partings, like box parts and triangle parts, I went with the circle to give it a fuller look. My favorite thing about this twist braids hairstyle is how complex it is. It gives you a braid and a twist, two different techniques in one style.

    Any advice for someone considering it?

    The box braid twist hairstyle would be perfect for all women with hair types specifically transitioning from relaxed to natural who are seeking low maintenance, protective style. Once the style is complete, it can last up to four weeks. This was the most important factor for my client because she typically works in an office setting.

    With this twist braids style, it allows the advantage to “wake up and go.” Cutting down on time spent in the mirror, she can throw it in a ponytail or leave it down by only spending 2 minutes instead of 1 hour on her natural hair.

    My client Tiffany is transitioning from relaxed to natural. Not only am I facing the challenge of two different textures, but her hair also has a blunt cut. Braiding to the length of her natural hair and twisting the remainder secures, the blunt ends and adds longevity to the style. I recommended this technique because she originally wanted twists, but I ensured the blunt ends are prone to sticking out of the twist. To accommodate my client, I came up with the box braid twist, which turned out to be perfect for her texture as well as her lifestyle needs.

    As far as products go, I like to first moisturize with a hair lotion and oil the scalp with a grease. My favorite brand of hair is Xpressions because of the quality and how easy going it is on my hands.

    Waist Length Jumbo Braids

    Q&A with style creator, Damaris Smiley
    Hair Stylist @ Styles by Smyley in Nairobi, KY


    How would you describe this look?

    The kinky twists are done using a kinky braid called Fluffy Kinky – it’s a Kenyan brand (Darling Hair Kenya). Having the kinky texture, they bring out a more natural hair look with an African vibe.

    The good thing about it is it’s super light, pocket-friendly in the long run because they give long service, and quick to install.

    Any advice for someone considering it?

    The styling will depend on the length and size that a client prefers. For most of my clients, they prefer the long and chunky, which is something I love as well.

    Always go for a self convenient product that works best for you and the scalp. I usually recommend the pure castor oil because it helps with the hairline and gives out a sheen look on the edges and scalp as well.

    I’ve worked with different clients with different hair types. From time to time, I got to learn different hair textures and types, as well. 4C has the best grip since the braid is kinky, and the hair is kinky as well. For other soft hair textures, one has to be careful and gentle on the fixing.

    Hairstyles do vary with personality depending on a client’s taste and preference. When it comes to the twists, a client should pick the size, length, and color that is favorable.

    Most of my clients are of the age bracket 20-30, so I’d say lifestyle to me isn’t an issue – it just depends on what the client wants.

    Jumbo Senegalese Twist Braids

    Q&A with style creator, Uju Ozumba
    Hair Stylist @ Rootz Hairdressing in Enfield, LDN


    How would you describe this look?

    I love the simplicity and elegance of this twist braids hairstyle. Senegalese twists are very versatile and can look stunning left, down, or styled into an updo, a bun, and so many more ways. The ease of this hairstyle makes it perfect for any holiday and day-to-day. It’s no surprise that Senegalese twists are a popular choice amongst my clients all year round, especially as this hairstyle can last up to 6-8 weeks, depending on how it is managed.

    Any advice for someone considering it?

    I advise everyone considering this hairstyle to do their research. The difference between protective styling benefits and hair breakage is not entirely dependent on the technique of the hairdresser but also how the client handles their hair. For example, tying the hair up too tight can put too much tension on the hair and cause breakage.

    There are two key tips that I share with my clients. Use a spray bottle to spray the twists with leave-in conditioner every 2-3 days or after washing to prolong that ‘like new’ look. Wear a silk scarf or bonnet when you sleep. If you’re a rough sleeper or just don’t find them comfortable, try switching to silk pillowcases!

    Medium Braids for Shoulder Length Hair

    @victoriousdesigns_

    For an easy-to-maintain twist style, opt for medium braids that are a few inches past the shoulders. Part your locks on whatever side you like, bring them up or style them down. The choice is yours! Don’t let it get frizzy by using a satin scarf when sleeping.
