Spicing up your normal flat twists can be as simple as changing the part. This zig-zag part is subtle, but just enough to make a statement. And the best part is when you're ready to take it out, you have a bomb twist out. A two for one.

2. Blonde Rope Twists

As the weather gets warmer, lighter hair colors will be on the rise and blonde is a classic warm weather vibe. These thick rope twists look cute and carefree pulled into a ponytail off the face, and they won't take quite as long to do as smaller twists. The higher the ponytail the better.

3. Flat-Twisted Low Puff

Most naturals love a good low ponytail/puff moment. The flat-twists are a great way to get more wear out of the style, rather than the typical slicked back ponytail. Add some little piercing accents like Zenita for just the right amount of pop.

4. Braid and Twist Combo

Here's proof that you don't have to choose between braids and twists, you can do both. Ginelle flat-twisted the front of her hair off her face, and twisted the back as usual for a slightly different take on the regular twists.

5. Mini Twist Ponytail

Curlies who thoroughly enjoy wearing twist-outs, braid-outs, and wash-and-go's most of the time can add a couple of accent twists to add some variety to their everyday style. As always, jewelry and accessories can be added to your heart's content.

The criss-cross pattern of this style may make it look a lot more complicated than it is, but the result is worth the effort! After parting and sectioning the hair, secure each section with black rubber bands and twist them, and flat twist the sides. Cross the banded sections in the pattern that you prefer, criss-crossing them to give the style an elaborate look, and secure the buns. If you feel your hair is too short to pull it off, add hair to the buns for a fuller effect.
