Passion twists in Manchester
Passion twists are a soft, rope-like twist made with wavy bohemian hair, looser and more textured than a smooth braid or Senegalese twist.
Manchester’s scene has long centred on Moss Side, with braiders and hair shops there and across Longsight, Hulme, Rusholme and Whalley Range, working in both the hand-twisted and crochet methods.

Something About Braids
What passion twists involve
The braider sections your hair and twists each section together with wavy, bohemian-textured braiding hair, giving a loose, rope-like finish rather than the smooth surface of a plaited braid. There are two install methods: a two-strand twist worked directly into your own hair, which is secure and longer-lasting, or a crochet method that loops pre-made passion twists onto cornrows, which is quicker but sits a little less flat at the root. Some Manchester braiders who do crochet braids offer passion twists as a crochet option, so ask which method they use. For the full breakdown of sizes and lengths, see the passion twists style page.

Where to book in Manchester
Moss Side and Longsight have the deepest bench of braiders and hair shops, with more working across Hulme, Rusholme and Whalley Range. Demand is high, particularly in the run-up to summer and the festive season, so the better-known braiders book up fast, worth choosing on the strength of someone’s work in your specific size rather than on who has the next free slot.

Frequently asked questions
- How much are passion twists in Manchester?
- Most medium sets cost £85 to £150. Small or waist-length sets run higher, often £140 to £235, and a crochet install can start around £65. See the price table above for the full breakdown.
- Are passion twists the same as spring twists?
- No, though they’re related. Passion twists use wavy, bohemian-textured hair for a soft, loose look. Spring twists use a springier, more uniform hair and sit shorter and tighter. Both are two-strand twists; ask your braider which they offer.
- Two-strand or crochet passion twists, which is better?
- A two-strand install worked into your own hair is more secure and lasts longer. The crochet method loops pre-made twists onto cornrows, which is quicker and usually cheaper but sits a little less flat at the root and loosens sooner.
- How long do passion twists last?
- Usually four to six weeks, a little longer with careful upkeep. Take them down by around week six to eight, before the roots grow out too far and strain your natural hair.
- How do I book one of these braiders?
- Message the braider direct through the details on their listing. Confirm size, length, install method and the total price before you book in.
