20 Hottest Flat Twist Hairstyles for This Year
Flat Twist Hairstyles
Creativity knows no bounds when it comes to
natural hairstyles for longer hair or those with extensions. Twists are
an easier alternative to braids, and sometimes these two complement
each other for a statement look. Look through our gallery for ideas and
inspiration.
#1: Twist into Bun
Flat twist your hair, install extensions
and make a large braided bun. Luckily, now you don’t have to wait until
your hair grows very long. A thick and full bun is accessible and easy
to assemble.
#2: Straight Back Twists
Style hair up and out of your way with
these cool twists that vary in width from thin to chunky. You can keep
this style in for weeks, making it the perfect choice for summertime.
#3: Elegant and Vintage
If you want to learn how to flat twist on
natural hair, this is a good style to start with. Simple and modest,
it’s nothing more than a properly placed braid that’s wrapped and
secured at the nape of the neck.
#4: Curly Top
Twists don’t have to be rigid or held into
one spot – if you want to go with a fun, freeing hairstyle that works
well on short hair, try this curly flat twist out ‘do that’s both
adorable and easy to maintain.
#5: Twisted and Angled
Twisted hairstyles are a great help in the
continuous fight with split ends. Experiment with twists` size, parting,
plaiting angle and accessories. Your style will never be boring again!
#6: Gathered and Wrapped
With the back of your hair twisted tightly
and symmetrically, you can install extensions for the crown and front
sections to get a plentiful updo with strands of attached hair twisted
like snakes for a truly sexy and dramatic look of relaxed hair.
#7: Creative Pile Up
When you flat twist your hair, you aren’t
limited to one type of braid. As this shows below, with extensions you
can “grow” braids from super small at the nape of the neck up to chunky,
fuller twists up top.
#8: Color and Shine
If you look at pictures of twisted hair and
wonder how they’ve got those amazing looks, the answer is usually found
in a professional salon. Work with a stylist to discover what hue will
work best for your hair, along with products that will optimize your
strands’ shine power.
#9: Twists for Short Hair
If you prefer not to grow your hair long
and avoid extensions, there are twist styles that will work well for
you. Go with something that moves hair upward, allowing curls to tumble
down freely and frame the face.
#10: Flat Twisted Updo
A flat twist updo is adorable and
convenient for girls who are active but still want to look beautiful.
This can be worked into any hair type, including weaves and natural
hair. Keep it in for a day or a week – this is one versatile updo.
#11: Vintage Glam
Take a cue from decades gone by and check
out this twist style next time you’re hoping for a whole new look. This
will work best with natural hair that’s ready for a change.
#12: Double Strand Twist
Two strand twists are the simplest and
quickest style when it comes to flat twisting. Due to the texture of
black hair, the twists hold just as well as braids and open up the doors
for a variety of both easy and complex looks.
#13: Directional Beauty
Like a garden labyrinth, this is a true
standout in the world of flat twist styles. This will need to be done by
a professional the first time, but it can quickly become a homegrown
style once you get the hang of it!
#14: Big and Bold
Want hair that’s as big and
statement-making as your bright, extroverted personality? Then try this
hairstyle on for size. With the use of extensions, this piled up
collection of twists is gorgeous but also fun.

Who didn’t have this hairstyle at least
once as a child? Keep things young and charming with a classic twist
style that is easy to maintain and just as fun to wear as it was on the
4th grade playground.
#16: School Marm Chic
Turn-of-the-century ladies knew all the
tricks when it came to updos that stayed in place and flattered the
face. This is just one of those styles that has truly stood the test of
time. The real technique behind this style is an appropriate hair
product and a little bit of patience the first few times out.
#17: Color Burst
Flat twist your hair with a pop of honey
blonde added to your natural strands. The color spirals upward
beautifully and definitely makes a memorable statement that will get
heads turning!
#18: Chunky Braid Gathering
Twists can be as thin or thick as you like –
this hairstyle is an example of ultra-thick braids that still look
pretty enough to wear for a variety of events and occasions. Gather all
of the twists at the nape of the neck and work into a secure, modest
bun.
#19: Understated Beauty
Flat twist hairstyles don’t need to be
wild, crazy or elaborate. Simply twist the sides of your natural hair
and pull it into a feminine bun when you need hair out of the way but
still looking good.
#20: Timeless Favorite
Since twist styles have been around for
generations, it’s not uncommon to see vintage coifs make a comeback on
modern day African American women. This is one of those hairstyles that
has twisted its way back into a new wave of popularity. It’s simple,
charming and appropriate for a very diverse age range.
Flat twist hairstyles are fun to wear and
convenient for a variety of reasons – be it work, weather or the desire
for a new look. Most salons can produce the more elaborate twist looks,
while the simpler ones can be done at home or with a friend. The trick
to excellent twisted hair is using a quality hair product and taking the
necessary steps to keep hair in the best health possible.
