Hair braids have become a popular fashion trend in recent years, especially for women with thick and long hair. Big twist braids are an innovative way to achieve this unique look without the hassle of getting braid extensions or having to chop off your locks. The braiding is done “on the go,” meaning you will never be without them or unable to change up your style like other trendy hairstyles.
Big twist braids are a perfect solution for women who can’t spend hours on their hair doing extreme hair braiding.
Pick the length of your big twist braids (or braid extensions) depending on how long you want your braid to be. For a basic braid, start with three twists and go as high as you want it to go without getting your bundles too tight.
1. Medium-Length Layered Crochet Twists
These are the perfect hairstyle for when you have a few hours to get ready. They look like they take a lot of time and effort, but they don’t.
The big twist hairstyle will keep your hair looking nice without breaking your budget or taking up too much time. It’s ideal for casual days and parties because the look is timeless. This is an easy style that can be mixed up in various ways, from pompadour buns to messy topknots.

2. Crochet Senegalese Twists
Senegalese twists are a protective style that is ideal for ladies who are busy and don’t have time to remain in a salon chair for the whole day. They are made by crocheting two-strand twists with a strand of yarn. You can change the length of your twist depending on how much hair you want to cover and how tightly you crochet the strands together.
If you make your twists thick, they will be easier to maintain, but if you want something more comfortable and less heavy, then opt for thinner twists.

3. Twists With Burgundy Pop
These twisted locks are very long and full of volume. The big braid is done with the bottom-length section of hair—the perfect hairstyle for a day at the office or for a night out on the town. You can have this hairstyle scrunched or pulled back if you would like to take it out for a night and keep it neat.
This is an easy style that can be mixed up in various ways, from pompadour buns to messy topknots.

4. Crochet Twists With The Cornrows
Crochet braids look much cuter with cornrows! Get this look by combining the two crochet braid styles. This not only adds texture but also gives the style a modern twist. Crochet braids are especially fun with cornrows because you can easily make a side part or leave them straight down the center of your crown in a fringe.

5. Black And Red Twisted Bob
This red and black twisted bob hairstyle is a unique traditional look. The hair has been twisted inwards, then back out to make a perfect braid. The great thing about this unique look is that it’s relatively easy to do. All you need is a few products and special styling tools that can be found at your local beauty supply store.

6. Medium Twists With Curls
This style is ideal for special occasions. You need a few hours on your hands to pull it off, but the outcome is worth it. The twists will frame your face and bring out the best features of your hair, whether it is straight, wavy, or coily.

7. Pitch Black Big Twist Braids
The pitch-black style is an alternative to the red or black color in Big Twist braids. For this style, you will need to wrap the hair in a braid about three times and use lighter afro hair as a weft. This will create the illusion of a pitch-black color, and with the curls from Big Twist Braids, your hair will look like it is sitting on top of your head.

8. Black and Brown Twists
This style is unique as it combines both black and brown hair to create a unique look. To do this, you will need to separate your hair into three sections and wrap it with braids. You can use the same color as your base braid or use different tones.

9. Unicorn Big Twists
These are some of the more whimsical styles that you can do. This is ideal for ladies who like to have fun with their hair, and this style is versatile enough that you can wear it to school or a business meeting. This style will take four hours to complete, but once they are on, you will still be able to sleep with them in!

10. Tight Big Twists
This is one of the easier styles, as it simply involves twisting your hair into a small bun and wrapping around it. You can create various sizes of bun that will be perfect for different occasions.

11. Curly Big Twists
This style is suitable for those who have long hair and want to wear it up as a ponytail. You will need to separate the hair into three sections and wrap each section into a braid. The twists should be very tight so that they do not tangle with each other while you are sleeping.

12. Half Down Twists
This updo is perfect for special occasions, particularly a wedding. It’s elegant and can be worn by women with thin hair. The style requires little maintenance but does require a barber to get it right because of all the layers. This can be achieved as an overnight do or as a two-hour hairstyle (depending on how long your hair is).

13. Big Twist Mohawk
This is a great style for the summer. You will need at least two hours to complete this style, depending on how long and thick your hair is. This style can be worn in many ways. If you want to get rid of the length and texture, you can just brush it out without any detangling or combing through. However, if you are going for volume and the afro look, then you should take time to break down the twists into smaller twists or coils before brushing it out.

14. Big Twist Simply Cornrows
This is an easy style to do. You just need two braids, one on each side of your head. Cornrow both braids in a direction that is opposite from one another and then braid the two together. Switch to a second color and repeat the process. The end result looks just like raveled cornrows, but it does not require as much maintenance as cornrows, especially if you have long hair because this style only needs two braids per side of your head.

15. Double Top Big Twist
A double top twist is created by separating the hair into two sections and twisting them twice before securing it with a band. This style gives you more of an elongated twist and a showy ponytail. This style works well for medium to long hair lengths.

16. Medium-Length Single Top Big Twist
A simple twist that works best for medium-length hair. It is a single twist on the top of the head, which means you can use it with any texture or length of hair. The style is easy to create and requires minimal styling. You will only need to comb your hair into sections, twisting the sections and securing with a band or elastic. The idea behind this style is to add volume or height while giving your twists a unique shape.

17. Deep Purple Big Twist
This is yet another variation of the purple style. You will have to use purple hair as the weft and wrap the hair in three strands. The color will stand out and look unique.

18. Brunette’s Big Twist
This is a variation of the platinum big twist style. You can find this color in a lot of hair and also your hair, for that matter. The weft can be any blonde shade. With this color, the hair will stick out on your scalp and give you a very different and interesting look.

19. The Light Brown Big Twist
This is one of the most popular Big Twist styles. The light brown hair and the curls that come with it will bring out your eyes if you have blue eyes and make them pop if you have dark eyes. This style can also be done in red, black, or any other color of your choice.

20. Massive Twist Bun
With the right amount of hairspray and gel, a Big Twist can be used to create a high bun in your hair. A bit of teasing will give you the volume you need to make this style work. You should be able to handle this type of braid quite easily if you use it often and learn how to do it by heart. However, if you are going for a party hairstyle, this is an ideal option since it will allow you to easily put up your hair and still look fabulous.
