What Are Senegalese Twists?
Senegalese twists are a two-strand twist protective style created using kanekalon or silky braiding hair to produce a smooth, rope-like finish. Unlike kinky or passion twists — which use fluffy, textured hair — Senegalese twists have a sleek, polished appearance that resembles a thin, shiny rope. They are named for their origin in Senegalese hair tradition and remain one of the most timeless and versatile twist styles in African hair culture.

The Afro Luxe Process
Your Appointment, Step by Step
Step 1 — Consultation (10–15 min)
We begin every Senegalese Twists in Laurel, Maryland appointment with a brief consultation. Your stylist discusses your preferred style, length, size, and any specific concerns about your scalp or edges. This ensures we deliver exactly what you have in mind.
Step 2 — Hair Preparation (15–20 min)
We prep your natural hair for installation — including washing and conditioning if booked, detangling, blow-drying if required, and parting into clean sections. Healthy hair prep leads to a longer-lasting result.
Step 3 — Installation
Your braider installs your Senegalese Twists in Laurel, Maryland using proven, scalp-safe techniques. We work precisely and consistently for uniform tension across every section, protecting your edges and follicles throughout.
Step 4 — Finishing & Styling (15 min)
We complete your look with edge control, any styling details you've requested, and a final inspection to ensure clean parts and a polished result before you leave the chair.
Step 5 — Aftercare Guidance (10 min)
Your stylist walks you through exactly how to maintain your new style — washing frequency, products to use, how to sleep with your braids, and when to book your next appointment.
Aftercare
How to Care for Your Senegalese Twists in Laurel, Maryland
- Your Senegalese Twists in Laurel, Maryland should last 6–8 weeks with proper care.
- Sleep in a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase every night to reduce frizz and preserve your edges.
- Cleanse your scalp every 1–2 weeks using a diluted sulphate-free shampoo or a scalp rinse. Avoid soaking the braids entirely.
- Moisturise your scalp with a lightweight oil (jojoba, argan, or our recommended brand) 2–3 times per week.
- Avoid heavy buildup products on the braids themselves — focus moisture on your scalp only.
- Do not leave braids in beyond the recommended timeframe. Overdue styles can cause matting, tension damage, and breakage.
