Twist braids are a versatile and protective hairstyle characterized by the twisting of two sections of hair around each other. They can be done in various sizes, from thin micro twists to thicker, chunkier styles, and can vary in length. This hairstyle is often chosen for its ease of maintenance and the protection it offers to natural hair. Twist braids can also be adorned with beads or shells for added decoration, making them both a practical and fashionable choice.
