Senegalese twists, also known as rope twists, have become a particularly popular twist style, as they look so intricate and gorgeous but in reality, require minimal effort. Using a standard twist method, the hair is weaved from right to left until it overlaps, creating beautiful, rope-like twists that can then be styled in a variety of ways. The twists are also a great way to add length, as it’s easy to add extensions as you go.
From classic Senegalese twists to glamorous updos, the world’s biggest stars have shared countless ways to rock the protective style. Ahead, take a look through some of the best celebrity Senegalese twists, including A-listers Gabrielle Union, Ciara, and Kerry Washington, and prepare to bookmark them for your next salon visit — or DIY hair moment.
