Twists are made with two strands wrapped around each other instead of three braided together, which makes them light, quick to style and easy to take down. At Kekem African Braids in Spring, TX, we do Senegalese, kinky, Nubian and two-strand twists — from $100 — with your quote given before we start.
A twist uses two sections of hair instead of the three used in a braid. That simple difference changes a lot:
Twists are a strong protective style for busy weeks, and they come in finishes from smooth and glossy to textured and natural-looking. Our salon is led by an owner with more than 10 years of hairstyling experience, and twists are on our menu every day.
Smooth, rope-like twists made with sleek extension hair. They give a polished, uniform look and work at any length, from shoulder to waist.
Twists made with textured extension hair that looks like natural, coily hair. The finish is fuller and more matte than Senegalese twists, and it blends well with natural texture at the root.
A softer, springy twist for a full, textured look. Ask us to show you the hair we use, so you can see the finish before you book.
Classic two-strand twists, the simplest and quickest twist on our menu. Tell us if you want them on your own hair or with added length.

A good twist set is consistent from the first twist to the last:
Check the ends and the parting with us before you leave. If a twist is looser than the rest, we redo it.
Twist photos online use many types of hair, so the same name can look very different. Show us your picture and we will tell you which twist and which hair give that result on your hair, how long it takes and what it costs. First time? Text your photo to (832) 837-5488.
