What Are Senegalese Twists?
A Sleek, Rope-Like Protective Style
Senegalese twists are a smooth, elegant protective style created at Mont Horeb Hair Braiding in Silver Spring MD by two-strand twisting your natural hair with lightweight synthetic extensions. The result is a glossy, rope-like finish that's noticeably lighter than braided styles.
Our master braiders twist each section with even, consistent tension, giving you a clean, uniform look that holds up through workouts, swimming, and busy weeks for 6 to 8 weeks.
Whether you want small twists for an intricate, long-lasting look or large twists for a quick, breathable protective style, our Silver Spring braiders will tailor the size, length, and finish to your hair and your schedule.
