flat twists
Two-strand protective style
Flat twists are a protective hairstyle in which sections of hair are twisted close to the scalp in a two-strand pattern, creating raised rows similar to cornrows but with a softer, more textured appearance.
The technique is gentler than braiding and works well on natural hair: She wore flat twists for two weeks while her hair grew out.
Flat twists can serve as a styling foundation or stand alone as a finished look.
