4. Mohawk
I loved this look for a night out in the Paris Jazz Clubs. I wanted something edgy to go with my new dress I purchased in the Garment District. The Mohawk requires 5 even sections across the head.
Place each section in a ponytail, two strand twist, wrap around, and tuck under. I played up the look with my lightweight jeweled headband.
5. Sophisticated Lady
We went to dinner every night in Savannah on my girl’s trip. This night I wore a mid-length black and white striped dress. I wanted to show off the length of my Senegalese Twist.
I sectioned my hair in two parts across. More on the top, a little less in the back. I pulled the top to one side, though not completely over. Just behind my ear. I secured it with a hair tie. I pulled all the remaining hair over to one side.
I enjoyed wearing the twists to one side. It played up my classy sophisticated look. It went well with my big clip-on vintage earrings and red lipstick. I’m such a lady!
6. Casual Chic
This is my go to, everyday casual chic look. Senegalese Twist are so easy and require very little maintenance. I use olive oil on my scalp every few days and sleep in a bonnet or a satin pillowcase. I also clean my scalp with peppermint shampoo using a wash cloth once a week.
This Casual Chic look was done by braiding my twists down the middle in a loose french braid. Once I got to the base of my neck, I created a twist and secured it with a hair band.
I love this!! I cannot believe you put these in yourself! I had Marley twists for the first time and loved them! I love all your styles. So creative!
Thanks Nadeen!
Love all the great styles you mentioned in your blog Katrina and of course you look beautiful! Ive been looking for a summer hair style wear I dont have to play with my natural hair everyday and I can also look professional for work. Definitely will try your recommendation just need to find someone to do it for me at a reasonable price. Dont have patience like you to braid my own hair 🙂 Thanks Katrina for your inspiration and once again excellent work on this blog.
Thanks for checking it out! I think this style will look great on you!!
Does your head feel heavy when wearing the Senegalese twist in a bun? Do you recommend that my natural hair be straight before adding the hair or can i add the hair my natural curl pattern? Which option will blend best with my hair with minimal fuzziness. Thanks!
I think it depends on which hair you use. The Marley twist I recommend using your natural hair. The Kanekaleon hair worked with my natural hair but may be better if I would have blown it out. I may try that next time. I also used lots of Jam!
It was a bit heavy at first but I got use to it.
So cute Katrina, you did an excellent job in styling. I need to watch some You Tube Video’s pronto!!!

So impressed that you did these yourself; your hair looks fantastic! You’re making me consider trying out Senegalese twists now! So versatile. I think my favorite look is #14 “Classy Lady”, but they’re all superb. Looks like a fun trip too!

A HUGE thank you for this! As a low-maintenance kind of gal (who recently acquired the Twists) , this step-by-step instruction guide is amazing!!
Also would love any tips on hair products to use as well 🙂
You’re welcome Patrice! I don’t use much products in my hair. Olive oil to keep it conditioned and some edge control.
