Soak up the summer sun with confidence by opting for twists as your go-to protective hairstyle this holiday season. Twists not only offer goddess vibes, but also safeguard your natural hair from the harsh effects of sun, sand and sea. This low-maintenance style keeps your hair tangle-free and moisturised, allowing you to enjoy your holiday to the fullest without worrying about constant upkeep.
Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring new destinations, or dancing the night away, twists will keep your hair healthy, stylish and protected all summer long.
Golden goddess
Hair colour has moved beyond corporate confines which means sun-kissed twists are just as appropriate for the boardroom as they are for bodyboarding – if extreme sports is your thing. Classic colour 27 gives a warm golden bronzed effect, so just like matching your foundation, think of undertones when choosing your goddess glow. If you want to dial it down, think T colours (i.e. T1B/27) .

Y2K two-strand twists
Avoid two strand twists failures with pre-looped crochet strands. Urban Barbados Twist has all the style qualities for nailing nonchalant boho beach babe; soft body-waved tendrils – check, springy coiled tips – check, plus with premium SYN fibres, maintenance is minimal too. All that’s required on your part is a consistent, nourishing healthy hair routine.
