two-strand twists

Paired sectional spirals

Two-strand twists are a hairstyle created by dividing hair into sections and wrapping two strands around each other from root to tip.

Common in natural hair care, they serve both as a style and as a method for stretching or defining curls: I'm wearing two-strand twists this week.

Left in overnight or for days, they create a wavy pattern called a twist-out when unraveled.
