*Style: Senegalese Twists with Gold Highlights*
Some styles just speak for themselves—and this one came through with bold beauty and clean precision! This *Senegalese twist install with gold highlights* was done late in the day, but our energy stayed high to give our client exactly what she envisioned.
We used a *1B base color* for the twists, enhanced with *gold highlight strands* to give it that pop of flair. Now, let’s talk about that lighting—under the *ring light, the gold appeared even brighter, almost giving a **yellow-gold illusion* that stood out beautifully against her black fleece outfit. It added a sunlit glow to her whole look, even though the hair itself was more of a soft golden tone.
Our client came in for a *late evening appointment, and we’re so glad we made it happen. Despite the hour, her personality lit up the room. She was calm and composed throughout, and it’s the little things that made her shine—those stunning big eyes* that caught every light angle and *a subtle nose piercing* that gave her look that perfect touch of edge and elegance.
She wore a *textured black zip-up fleece, which made the gold twists stand out even more, creating a bold contrast that pulled everything together. The **parting was sharp and symmetrical*, and the twists were medium in size, giving her fullness without heaviness.
In the video, you’ll catch the golden strands glimmering and dancing as she turned her head. The twists had movement, bounce, and just the right amount of attitude—just like our client.
