Easy to make, the twisted braid is a good compromise for those who do not yet master the art of African braid .
Ideal to perfect a bohemian chic look, it can be declined in several versions.
How to make a twisted braid?
Make a stripe in the middle or on the side and make a ponytail .
Separate it into two strands, then wrap each wick on itself in a clockwise direction while squeezing tightly. At the same time, twist the two strands counterclockwise.
Hold with an elastic band.
Twisted braid in three variations
- The twisted braid bohemian
For this braid to be well, it must be done on hair washed the day before. It is also possible to texturize them with hair wax.
We put his hair back on one shoulder by drawing a line on the side. We take two small strands before we twist before crossing them. We thus go down to the ear by adding, at each crossing of strands, a small lock to the braid.
Once the ear is clear, the lengths are divided into two equal sections. We twist each of the strands apart, then we embrace one around the other by tightening well. We keep the braid twisted with an elastic, and voila.

- Twisted braid ponytail style
After making a high ponytail, it is attached with a discreet elastic. We then separate the ponytail into two equal branches. Then, we twist each section to the outside. It only remains to wrap one around the other by continuing to twist and fix the braid with an elastic.
To bring more volume to its twisted braid, we pull a little on the hair. And we finish by lacing the whole generously.
It must of course have long or medium-length hair to make this braid. Similarly, if our hair is too thin, it will be more complicated to fit them in the twist .

- The twisted braid bun
This bun is an original idea to revisit the bun dancer.
To do this, fuzzy locks are allowed to escape on the front of the head. Then two high duvets are made which are divided into two sections. A twisted braid is made with each quilt. It only remains to wrap the two braids to form a bun. We make sure to secure it with pins. And we finish with a haze of lacquer to tame the frizz .
A second version of this bun is possible by starting the braid higher up on the head.
We reposition her hair on one shoulder and isolate two sections of hair at the top of the forehead. They are twisted and then crossed by bringing them a new bit each time. It only remains to do the same thing with the lengths before rolling them on themselves to achieve a low bun .
To us the romantic hairstyle in 5 minutes chrono. And no need for ornaments, the twisted braid is the perfect accessory to complete a beauty look.
