Passion twist is a popular hairdo that remains a go-to style for many ladies. The ease of maintenance and glamorous look makes them fashionable.
And you don’t have to wear them the same way all the time. They have styling flexibility that allows you to rock them in various ways.
So, if you’ve tried it once and are looking for other ways to rock or want to give it a shot for the first time, here are 35 ways to wear them.
Read on and choose one suitable for your upcoming occasion. There are also options for an everyday look.
What Are Passion Twists?
Passion twists are hairdos associated with Kailyn Rodgers, a Miami-based hairstylist.
She created the style in 2018 with the desire to have an easy-to-maintain elegant, and glamorous hairdo.
The hairstyle is a two-strand twist achieved using Freestress water wave hair, giving them a silky feel and curly texture.
Unlike the Senegalese twists, they’re fluffy and less uniform.
How Long Does Passion Twist Last?
With proper care, passion twist can last you up to 2 months.
But wearing that long can strain your natural hair and make it look messy.
So it’s recommended to undo them after one month.
Do Passion Twists Last Longer Than Braids?
Passion twist might not last as long as braids do. This is because they can easily slip and unravel, necessitating their removal.
Unlike knotless braids that can serve up to 8 weeks looking neat, passion twists last for 6 weeks but bets removed at 4 weeks.
How Much Do Passion Twists Cost?
Passion twists will cost you $150-$250, depending on the region you’re in and the style you choose.
The longer ones cost more than the shorter ones.
How Many Packs of Hair Do You Need for Passion Twist?
You’ll need 7-10 packs of Freetress water wave hair based on your desired volume and length.
But, if you opt for crocheted style, you’ll need 5-7 packs of pre-looped passion twist crotchet hair.
Can I Wash Passion Twists?
Yes, you can wash your passion twist occasionally, especially if you intend to wear them longer. It helps to maintain clean hair and scalp to prevent buildup.
However, regularly washing them isn’t good as they can tangle and get frizzier.
How To Do Passion Twist
What You Need
- Wavy braiding hair, preferably Freestress water wave hair
- Rat tail comb
- Clips/hair bands
Step-By-Step
1. Wash, dry, and moisturize your natural hair.
2. Divide your hair into four sections.
3. Secure three sections with clip/elastic bands and work on the remaining section.
4. Make a smaller parting on the section you’re working on and begin braiding by twisting natural hair with extensions.
5. Braid until you reach the desired length, and then tie the ends to secure the twists.
