What defines Two-strand twists?
Two-strand twists wrap paired sections around one another. They hang away from the scalp and show a rope-like pattern through the length.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Compare the thickness of the twists by the cheek and near the ear. From behind, see whether the ends form an even edge or a looser outline.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show which size you want around the hairline and how long the twists should appear when finished. Discuss how you will refresh the ends.
