flat twist
Laid rope technique
A flat twist is a hairstyling technique used on textured hair where two sections are twisted together while lying flat against the scalp, similar to a cornrow but using a twisting rather than braiding motion.
The style creates raised, rope-like rows that follow the contours of the head: She wore flat twists pulled back into a bun.
Flat twists can serve as a protective style or as preparation for a twist-out, where unraveling the twists creates defined waves or curls.
