Protective Hairstyle You Need to Try: Spring Twists

Spring twists are a protective hairstyle made with curled hair extensions, giving them a unique springy look. Spring twists are becoming increasingly popular because they are lightweight and protect the hair from breakage. The number of wraps you use to install spring twists depends on the thickness and length you want. Spring twists are similar to passion twists. The difference between them is that spring twists are made with pre-twisted hair extensions, while passion twists are made with pre-curled hair.

What are Spring Twists?

Spring twists are a lightweight, protective hairstyle made with curly extensions that have a springy (quickly spring back when pulled) and twisted look. Spring twists have a unique look - one that draws compliments and can be worn year-round by naturals.

Benefits of Spring Twists

Reusable

For multiple uses, you need to make sure they are not tangled when you take them out.

Easy to style

Spring Twists can be styled in a variety of ways. You can style them into a bun, ponytail, updo, and more.

Durable

The durability of spring twists depends on how well you maintain them. If maintained properly, they can last for 8-10 weeks.

Lightweight

This is the main reason why spring twists are the most popular. They are not heavy on the head, so they do not pull on your hairline.

Precautions for Spring Twists

There are some things you should do and some things you shouldn’t do to give you the best spring twist experience:

Before installing spring twists, always make sure your hair is clean and moisturized. Dirty hair can itch and make you feel uncomfortable.

Don’t hold your hair too tightly at the roots, as this may cause breakage and even damage like traction alopecia.

Don’t use heavy hair products on your scalp or natural hair during and after installation, as this may cause product buildup.

Always use spring twist crochet hair or any other curly spring twist hair extensions for installation, as they will give you a bouncy final look.

Always follow spring twist maintenance tips to keep it looking neat and prolong its life.

How to maintain spring twists?

Spring twists are a very easy hairstyle to maintain. However, they must be carefully maintained and kept clean and tidy to make them last for a long time. Here are the ways to maintain spring twists;

Wash your spring curls

You can wash your spring curls with shampoo and conditioner to keep them clean. Make sure to wash them as gently as possible so as not to pull out the spring curls or break your natural hair at the roots.

It is also worth mentioning that you should not wash your spring curls more than every other week, otherwise they may look dull and fail to stay firmly in your hair. So, you can wash your spring curls once or twice a month.

Oil your scalp

Even if you do a protective hairstyle, you should never neglect your scalp. To keep your scalp moisturized, make sure to apply scalp oil twice a week or whenever your scalp feels dry. Also, resist the urge to scratch your scalp as you might leave some small cuts on your scalp.

If your scalp is itchy, then you can use anti-itch scalp oil to help soothe your scalp.

Use a satin or silk scarf

Before going to bed, make sure to wrap your spring curls with a satin or silk scarf. This will help keep your spring twists in place if you toss and turn while sleeping.

Dont touch your hair with your hands

Constantly touching your spring twists will cause them to become frizzy, which means they will start to “age” prematurely.

Avoid over-styling

While you can try a lot of fun and playful hairstyles with your spring twists (buns, updos, ponytails), you should avoid styling them too often. Style your spring twists in a different style every other day can put strain on your hairline, leading to breakage, frizz, and even hair damage.
