Twisted hairstyles come in so many stunning iterations—think flat, Marley, passion, Senegalese, and Havana twists. Each style has its own set of characteristics and gives off a unique vibe; Havana twists are known for being pretty large in size and are installed using coarsely textured Havana hair. And like most protective styles, Havana twists are low-tension and super easy to maintain. Although you may end up spending a lot of your day—six to eight hours— in a salon chair to get these babies installed, the payoff is great: four to six weeks of freedom, and you won't need to manipulate and style your hair every day. Even better, the twists allow for moisturizing and co-washing as you please, so you can maintain your healthy scalp and natural strands. A win-win in my book! Keep scrolling for gorgeous Havana twists styles to try ASAP.
