20 Twist Out Styles and Pretty Twist-Inspired Hair Ideas
Looking for twist out styles with a little something extra? Think full curls, half-up shapes and a cute scarf or bow.
These pictures include loose textured looks alongside intact twists, braids and curly updos, so not every style shown is a twist out.
You can keep your hair down or try something pulled back. I especially love the little face-framing pieces and simple accessories.
Twist Out and Twisted Hairstyle Ideas to Save
half-up twists and short bangs
We’re starting off strong with this cute half-up shape. The twists are gathered high at the back, with short pieces across the forehead and longer ones beside the ear.
I love those curled ends! Leave a few front pieces out if you want to borrow this shape for your own style.
full volume and side rows
How gorgeous is this volume? The hair spreads out around the face, with narrow rows drawing one side back from the hairline.

If you love full twist out styles, save this one for its shape. Ask for a similar side detail if you want to keep part of your forehead clear.
tiny braids and curled ends
I am obsessed with these curled ends. The tiny braids have a side part and a little loop resting over the forehead.
The curls gathered around the jaw and neck are so pretty. Save this one if you want a shorter braided look with a little extra detail.
high half-up ponytail
If you love wearing your twists up and down at the same time, this one is for you. A black scrunchie holds the upper section high while the lower twists fall past the shoulders.
The little twist beside the ear is worth keeping if you try a similar look.
side bunches and curled bangs
How cute are these front pieces? The chunky twists curl across the forehead while the upper sections sit in little side bunches.
I love this with the big hoops. Try leaving your front section loose rather than pulling everything back.
cropped side and teal twist
If you are looking for something a little different, then this one is for you. The closely cropped side sits below a gathered top section, with a teal-colored twist hanging at the front.
There’s also a long twist at the nape with a small decorative detail near its end. I love that little bit of color at the front.
chunky curls all around
Don’t want to add clips or pull your hair up? No problem!
This full, loose shape is gorgeous on its own. I love the chunky definition and the curled ends sitting around the jaw and neck.
side-swept twists
This is such a pretty way to wear a shorter twisted style. The top pieces sweep upward and across, with more twists falling beside the face and down the back.
That single curled piece near the cheek is my favorite detail. Leave one out if you’re trying a similar swept-back shape.
cream claw clip
The accessory fans are going to love this! A cream-colored wavy claw clip holds part of the twists at the back while the lower section stays down.
Try a similar clip with your half-up look. Keep a couple of long twists beside your face if you like the way they frame this style.
burgundy headband and curls
If you are looking for a simple accessory idea, this one is for you. The wide burgundy headband sits behind the hairline, with a full cloud of curls showing around it.
I’d choose this shade with an all-black outfit too.
low twists with a bow
I am obsessed with this black bow. The twists run back from neatly divided sections into a low gathered style, with curled ends sitting around the nape.
Add a bow with long tails if you want this same finishing touch. It looks so pretty from the back.
two buns and loose twists
How adorable are these two buns? The twists are wrapped into high bunches, but several long pieces hang loose at the nape and beside the ears.
Those little spiraled ends make the look. You don’t have to tuck every piece away.
gold accents and brown curls
This may just be one of my favorite accessory ideas here. I love the gold-colored cuffs and dangling details along the pulled-back side sections.
The loose curls have brown highlights throughout. For your own version, try a few small hair cuffs on one side rather than adding them everywhere.
swept-back rows and a flower
Give your loose textured style a little color with a flower beside the ear. The narrow rows sweep back from the side while the rest of the hair falls over the shoulders.
That bright pink detail is so cute against the dark hair. I’d keep the rest of the accessories simple.
full bangs and little pins
If you love a big, full shape, save this one. The chunky sections spread out at the sides while the front pieces fall over the forehead.
I especially love the slim pins near the top. Try a pair on one side if you want a little decoration without a large clip.
neat side rows
This is another pretty side-detail idea, but with a shorter overall shape. I love the neat rows above the ear and the defined pieces hanging at the back.
Keep this photo for the side arrangement if you want to try that detail with your next twist out.
tan scarf and back puff
Don’t want to leave all your hair around your face? No problem!
This wide tan scarf wraps over the top and sides, with a full textured puff showing at the back.

The styled edges remain visible beneath the front of the scarf. I love that little detail next to it.
high curls and gray headband
How cute is this curly updo? The wide gray headband sits below a high pile of curls, with two long spirals falling beside the face.

Try the headband-and-tendrils combination with your own curls if you want a similar pulled-up look.
low bun and side twist
If you’re looking for a pulled-back option, go with this low bun idea. A rope-like twist follows the side of the head toward the bun, with one curled strand left beside the face.

I love how simple the accessories are here. Little hoops are plenty.
blonde twists and loose curls
Last but definitely not least, we have this long blonde half-up look. I love the mix of chunky twists and loose curls falling over one shoulder!
The upper section is gathered with a pale pink tie, with plenty of length left down. Try a similar tie if you want that little touch of pink.
