Collection: Passion Twist Hair

Passion twists is a protective hairstyle that distinguishes itself from other twists as it uses water wave hair extensions and a unique twisting technique. Unlike traditional twists like Senegalese twists or Marley twists, which often feature smoother and uniform hair. This choice of hair adds a distinct bohemian texture, lending depth and dimension to the hairstyle. The wavy or curly pattern of the extensions results in a visually striking appearance that sets passion twists apart in the world of protective styles.

Peekaboo passion twists are a captivating variation that combines both natural and colored hair extensions, creating a peekaboo effect. To achieve this unique style, begin with a solid, natural shade of water wave hair extensions. The key to creating the peekaboo effect is to introduce colored hair extensions of your choice, typically on the lower half of the hair. The natural color remains on the upper half. When the twists are styled, the hidden, colorful extensions are revealed, creating an intriguing and playful contrast with the dominant natural color, much like the classic game of peekaboo. This style offers a fun and eye-catching way to express your creativity through your hairstyle.

Passion twists can get wet. However, it's essential to handle them with care when exposed to water. Excessive exposure to water may lead to frizz if not dried properly. To maintain your hairstyle, it's advisable to use a shower cap or swim cap while showering or swimming. Afterward, gently pat dry your passion twists with a towel rather than rubbing to prevent damage. Also, it's a good practice to air dry or use a diffuser on low heat to maintain the twists and prevent any 'wet' smell from undried hair.

The weight of passion twists largely depends on factors such as the thickness of the extensions and the number of twists. While they can feel heavier than your natural hair due to the added synthetic hair, they are typically not excessively heavy. If you have concerns about the weight, you can opt to use 1 strand of water wave hair per twist or have your stylist create fewer twists with larger parting for a lighter, more comfortable feel.

Yes, you can and should wash your passion twists to maintain their cleanliness and the health of your natural hair underneath. To wash them effectively, dilute a mild shampoo with water and apply it gently to your scalp, allowing the suds to cleanse your natural hair. Avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent frizz. Rinse carefully, ensuring that the shampoo runs out of the twists. After washing, apply a leave-in conditioner or a small bit of an oil of your choice to keep your natural hair within the passion twists moisturized.

The lifespan of your passion twists depends on several factors, including the quality of installation and your maintenance routine. On average, they can last anywhere from 5 to 6 weeks. As you would have had some hair growth on between that time. After this time, it's a good idea to take them out, to cleanse your scalp and your natural hair properly. From my own hair installs, I've found that passion twists maintain their overall appearance quite well over this timeframe. You can even re-use the hair extensions for your next install.

Taking out passion twists is a straightforward process, quite similar to removing Marley or Senegalese twists, and even easier than undoing faux locs. The method involves carefully unwinding each twist, initiating from the tips and progressing upwards. If you encounter any knots, remain patient, and either use scissors to snip them or employ a comb to gently untangle them, ensuring you don't harm your natural hair.

Using a detangling spray or conditioner can aid in reducing friction, minimizing breakage. Moreover, enlisting the assistance of a reliable friend or a professional stylist can expedite the removal procedure. While it may not be the swiftest task, a gentle touch and a little time will suffice to safely disassemble your passion twists, all the while preserving the well-being of your underlying natural hair.

This style is beloved for its versatility and ability to create a chic look. Whether you're going for a casual or formal style, mini passion twists can be adapted to various occasions, making them a favourite choice among those who seek a versatile style.

The duration of mini passion twists is quite similar to regular-sized passion twists, typically lasting around 5 to 6 weeks. The exact timeframe can vary depending on factors like your hair growth rate and how well you maintain the twists.

As your natural hair grows, the space between the twists becomes more noticeable, which can affect the overall appearance. It's recommended to uninstall and redo the mini passion twists after this period to ensure they look fresh and continue to protect your natural hair. Regular maintenance, such as moisturizing and avoiding excessive tugging, can help extend their lifespan and keep your style intact.
