Senegalese/Island Twist

Senegalese twists are a great protective style for Afro-textured hair that can help retain moisture, protect your locks from environmental damage, and allow your hair to grow longer.

Nubian Twists

Nubian twists are a protective hairstyle that involves twisting hair into hair extensions that have a tight, coiled pattern. The extensions are usually z-shaped and lack the sheen that's common in other protective braid styles like Senegalese twists and box braids.

Yarn Twist

Yarn twist hair braiding is a protective style that involves twisting natural hair with yarn instead of synthetic hair. It's a fun way to experiment with color and update your look while giving your hair a break. Yarn twists can also help your hair retain moisture without changing its texture.

Flat twists

Flat twists are a protective hairstyle that involves two twists done on the scalp. The twists are similar to cornrows, laying flat on the head.

Kinky Twist

Kinky twists are a type of protective hairstyle characterized by tightly coiled strands of hair, resembling natural African-American hair texture. These twists are created by intertwining sections of hair extensions with your natural hair, resulting in a distinctively textured appearance.

Single Braids

Single braids are a traditional braiding style that involves weaving individual sections of hair into tight, neat braids from the scalp to the ends. The braids can be short, medium, or long, and can be worn in a variety of ways.

Micro Braids

Micro braids are a protective hairstyle that involves braiding tiny braids down the length of your hair, usually about four to six inches. They are a variation of box braids, but much smaller and can be styled in many ways.

Sew In

Sew-in hair braiding is a type of weave that involves braiding natural hair into cornrows and then sewing hair extensions into the braids. The extensions are called "wefts" or "tracks". The process usually involves leaving a small amount of natural hair out at the front and top to cover the tracks.

knotless

Knotless braids are a hairstyle that involves braiding natural hair and then gradually adding extensions, without creating a knot at the base of the braid.

Half Feed in and Half Knotless/ Twist

These braids are typically cornrowed at the top and sides of the head, with Knotless or Twist in the back. The cornrows are often made in unique patterns, such as a cornrow down the center of the head with others branching out to the sides.

Boho Braids

bohemian braids, or gypsy box braids, are a type of braided hairstyle that features curly hair bits added in various sections along the length of the braid.

Freestyle Feed-in

Feed-in braids are a type of plaited hairstyle where extensions are added to the natural hair close to the roots. These braids are knotless, which means they don't put too much strees and tension on the scalp compared to traiditional knotted braids
