What Are Island Twists?

Island twists, also known as boho twists, are a stunning combination of Senegalese twists and curls. They are installed similarly to Senegalese twists, but curly strands are added at various points throughout each twist. The final look can be more or less voluminous, depending on the amount of curls added.

How to Maintain Island Twists

Proper maintenance is required to keep your island twists looking fresh and neat. Here are some tips to help you maintain them:

• Protect at night: Wrap your twists in a silk scarf or bonnet before bed to prevent frizz and tangling.
• Keep your scalp healthy: Moisturise your scalp regularly with a lightweight oil to keep it hydrated.
