twist braid

Spiraled hair style

A twist braid is a hairstyle created by twisting two or more sections of hair around each other, rather than weaving three strands as in a traditional braid.

The technique works especially well with textured or curly hair: She wore her hair in twist braids for the wedding.

Also called twists or rope braids.
