7 Havana Twists Styles to Bookmark and Take to Your Stylist

Twisted hairstyles come in so many stunning iterations—think flat, Marley (opens in new tab), 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 (opens in new tab), 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!
