“The Twisty” is an improved and gentler hair accessory for people who wish to gather their afro/coily textured micro, small and standard sized locs and loose afro into a ponytail, pigtail or headband without the use of elastics and plastics found in many traditional hair accessories that can fray this hair type. The Twisty compromises of 4 to 6 chenille stems braided lengthwise into one long stem (10 inches (short version) or 34 inches (long version) with each opposite end sealed to prevent the metal ends from poking out and fraying the fabric sleeve. That braided chenille stem is then sewn into a thin fabric sleeve ensuring that the ends do not poke out. The Twisty can then be looped from the front or back around any section of locs then twisted at the base once or twice to grip the locs without knotting the Twisty.
