How do the sizes differ?

The four sizes are drawn as strands of growing width, from Small to Jumbo, so you can see which one you want.

Can I learn to twist from this?

The steps show the order of a two-strand twist. They are a reference, and practice on a real head or a practice piece builds the feel.

Can I ask for a different twist?

Yes. Type the twist you want and the chart is drawn for it in place of the six shown.

What do the three styles look like?

The line chart is thin black outline, the two-tone version fills each strand in dark brown and caramel, and the pencil drawing shades the coil and volume.

A twist chart helps you name and compare twists by style and size. One set shows six twists on labelled heads: Two-strand, Senegalese, Marley, Passion, Havana and Flat twists. Another shows four sizes from Small to Jumbo, with the width growing from left to right. A third walks through a two-strand twist in four numbered steps, from one parted section to the end of the twist. Type a twist, such as kids twists, and the chart is drawn for it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
