The procedure for braiding Senegalese twists can be a complicated and lengthy procedure, although the final look is thought to be sophisticated and well worth the time and effort. A step by step instruction guide on how to style your hair into Senegalese Twists is available at www.ehow.com/how_2154048_do-senegalese-twists.html

In terms of both price and quality, the recommendation for the type of synthetic hair to be used in achieving this look is Kanekalon, a patented product of the Kaneka Corporation of Japan. Kanekalon is a protein fibre made from collagen and is comparable in both look and texture to real hair. It is available in a multitude of colours, around 120 different varieties in all. Kanekalon doesn't tangle when doing twists, and is fairly easy to curl too.

Most synthetic fibres, including Kanekalon are not suitable for use with straighteners or curlers, and will almost definitely melt. Kanekalon however, is also available in a heat resistant variety, which more closely resembles human hair, however even though it is classed as a heat resistant product able to withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees C it is still strongly advised that only fully trained and experienced personnel should attempt to use heating tools on this product.

Senegalese twists are a popular way to style hair, predominantly, but not exclusively, among African Americans. They can only be made using synthetic hair due to the twists being burned at the ends. The hairstyle is basically an advanced version of cornrows, only with an extra twist to the actual cornrow.

Definitely kanekalon because it's the most natural texture compared to your hair which makes it easier to curl the ends and keep your Senegalese twists in... -- I've had Senegalese twists every summer for 4 years so I'm positive that kanekalon hair is the right hair for these twists

Synthetic is easy to make permanently wavy with hot water and will hold the style longer. Human hair does what human hair does. It requires maintenance. It's your choice.
