Fula Twist

Embrace cultural heritage with the Fula Twist—a protective style featuring spiral twists for defined curls.

About Fula Twist

The Fula Twist is a traditional West African hairstyle originating from the Fulani people, characterized by its spiral-shaped twists that beautifully define natural curl patterns. This style is achieved by twisting sections of hair into tight, coiled formations, often accentuated with intricate scalp-parting and decorative beads. It serves as a protective style, minimizing hair manipulation and promoting length retention. Typically chosen by individuals with coily or kinky textures seeking cultural expression and low-maintenance elegance. In Birmingham, this style is popular among those embracing natural hair textures and heritage-inspired looks. Niyo Hair and Beauty specializes in authentic Fula Twists, with jorra.ai assisting in booking and style guidance.
