Hair Q&A: Senegalese Twist vs. Kinky Twist


Q: What's the difference between Kinky Twist & Senegalese Twists?

A: For the most part Kinky Twist & Senegalese Twist are the same thing. Senegalese Twist are usually done with a straighter braid hair than that of the Kinky Twist & are often smaller. The twists are more silky-looking and are usually worn long. Kinky twist are done with kinky braid hair and are usually larger in size than Senegalese. They are also set on perm rods and dipped in hot water to get the curly look on the ends. The Senegalese Twists can be left loose on the ends or burned to a point. Both are really pretty and it really just depends on what you're going for.

  7. I know that they use synthetic hair for the senegalese, but do you know what kind was used for yours? It looks more natural and it does not look like they used Kanekalon synthetic hair.

    3. You said that you used Freetress Afrelle Blend but I'm not having any luck finding that product online...
      What I find is a product with a similar name but is actually kankelon fiber. Are you sure that is the name of the product? I looooove your braids... im taking your picture to the shop for them to do mine like yours.

  8. THANK U FOR THIS! I wanted this texture(for Senegalese twist) and women insisted upon the expressions or the kankelon hair. a lot of women are uneducated with TYPES of hair.

    1. I'm pretty sure the lady with the Senegalese twists is FusionofCultures from youtube. She says in her video that she uses Xpression hair.

    1. I wouldn't recommend washing your hair with micro twist in as it can loosen the braids. What I would recommend is trying a dry shampoo.
