So, I have developed a “chunky twists” obsession that began a couple months ago. If you know me, you know I usually live in twists, but they are typically small or medium and rarely ever chunky. Now, back to a couple months ago; I don’t know how, but the chunky twist bug bit me, so I went searching for some style inspiration online. There were so many gorgeous and creative looks that I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you all:
1. Top Knot Bun with a Twist
This model is Jessica (whom you can find on Instagram @jessohno_shedid), and her twisted top knot is super cute! Here are instructions for the style found on DIY Natural Hair Care:
1. Secure your hair to the top of your head with a ponytail holder.
2. Twist the ends of your ponytail into chunky twists.
3. Pull the hair forward and tuck them under to the front.
4. Secure your hair with pins.
5. Add gel to the edges and brush lightly.
2. Chunky Flat Twist Updo with Side Pompadour
This model is Toni from Mynaturalsistas, and she never ceases to amaze me with her beautiful styles. Check out the Mynaturalsistas channel she shares with her sisters.
3. Side Flat Twists into Side Braid
We first featured this look in our natural hairstyles section, and I just had to include it again with these additional angles. The model is Nik from LHDC-TV.
4. Pin-Curled Chunky Twists
This chunky twist style looks so elegant on AfricanExport. I love the vintage, Old Hollywood Glam vibe. How cute is this look!?!

Ladies, which of these styles would you wear? Do you have any additional chunky twist styles you’d like to share?
I’ll be trying # 3, 6, 9 and 10.
A lot of good ideas!!

The first person is Jessica Odoh. Her Instagram is jessohno_shedid
Thanks! I’ll add her name. :o)
These are all gorgeous!
Nice! Thanks for posting!
I think I could pull off #1, #2 and #7
Oh the possibilities when you have thick hair! The only way I can get a chunky twist is if I do no more than two! lol
The hairstyles look stunning — but too complicated for me personally and with the exception on #3 and #7, too much stress on my edges.
Nice! #8 is FiercelyNatural (IG). ????
Thank you! I’ll add her name/link. :o)
Chunky twists are the real deal. I am flattered by all of these versatile styles. There’s so many things you can do to your hair and wear it how you want. Hair can be art and this emphasizes creativity. I like how befitting it is and it fits their face shape. These are some really interesting posts and it’s good for locking in moisture or combat shrinkage. Hey I’m learning!
Nice hairstyles!Great post Chi-Chi!
These are all so beautiful, but I’m a lazy natural when it comes to styling 🙁
