Senegalese Twists are sometimes also known by the name of a crochet twist or rope twist. Now that you have known that the primary function of a Senegalese twist is to hike your style statement while shielding your hair, you can take course to it when you have long travel plans or you know that you will not be able to wash your hair thoroughly for a few days; you wash it once in six or seven days with the twists still on.

While you are creating the Senegalese twists, make sure that you don’t tie your hair too tightly because as a result it can give you a headache for the prolonged stress on the scalp or lead to hair breakage due to way too much tension on the thin strands.
