There are three distinct ways to install Senegalese twists: the traditional twisting method, the rubber band method, and the crochet method. To successfully install individual Senegalese twists, you will need about 5-6 packs of synthetic braiding hair - remembering that Kanekalon and Toyokalon hair are most commonly used -, a rat tail and/or wide tooth comb, duckbill hair clips, hair shears, boiling water or a lighter, and a hair moisturizer, such as Vonte Silk Effects or DO GRO Hair Vitalizer, that won’t add too much slip to your hair during the twisting process. In terms of look, Marley twists have the most rugged and natural appearance, while both Havana and Senegalese twists have a glossy appearance, with Senegalese twists being more tightly coiled than Havana twists. Additionally, Senegalese twists tend to be much lighter than Marley and Havana twists.

Often confused with Marley twists and Havana twists, Senegalese twists are most notably known for their smooth, sleek look and medium build. While some may initially believe Marley hair would be the number one option for adding extensions to Senegalese twists, braiding hair such as Kanekalon (silky braiding hair) or Toyokalon (yaki braiding hair) are most commonly used for this hairstyle. It should be noted that synthetic hair works best for these twists, as it adds the needed texture to your extensions that will prevent them from unraveling prematurely.
