Having looked at the Top faux locs Afro hairdressers in London, it only makes logical sense to now follow up the blog post with the top twists Afro hairdressers in London near you. Having hairdressers who specialise in Afro hair is important, especially in areas like London where there is a huge demand for them. Therefore, my aim in this blog post is to help you guys find the top Afro hairdressers near you in this region. 

What are twists?

Twists are a form of protective hairstyle that remains popular amongst people with Afro-textured hair. They can exist in many different forms some examples including regular twists, flat twists, jumbo twists, mini twists, two strand twists, passion twists, Marley twists and Senegalese twists. Additionally, you can do twists with your hair only or with added extensions to increase the thickness, length, and longevity of the style.

What are the pros of doing twists?

There are quite a few pros to doing twists as a protective style.

These include

• Shorter time to install compared to plaits and braids 
• Easier take-down process compared to plaits and braids
• Looks beautiful 
• Versatile 
• Low manipulation of your hair 
• Hair looks plump and juicy. In other words, easier to get more volume with twists.

What are the cons of doing twists?

With that being said, there are also a few cons to choosing this type of hairstyle.

These include 

• Hairstyle lasts for a shorter amount of time compared to plaits and braids 
• Can get messier quicker compared to plaits and braids 
• Easier for moisture to leave your hair compared to plait and braids 
• They can easily unravel

As you can see, the pros and cons to having twists tend to be relative to other hairstyles often chosen such as plaits and braids. Nonetheless, any pros and cons mentioned are a generalisation. What one person may like, the other may dislike. Therefore, it is down to you as the individual whether this hairstyle is for you or not. With that being said twists alone are a great protective hairstyle to choose as your ends are tucked away in a beautiful style that does not require too much manipulation.
