English term

twisted sisters

English to French Other Cosmetics, Beauty Hair styling
In a list of marketing texts and headlines about hairstyling. I have no other context, it's just a line on my list between "revive your hair" and " the art of hair". I suspect it is a sort of braid, but only vaguely. I can't find anything solid on the web.
Any help or explanation would be very welcome. In addition, it's urgent since I have to deliver at the ungodly hour of 8 am tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!

I finally went for "Reine des tresses".
Thank you all for your help.

One of my translator friends found helpful links to various braided up-dos. Still no idea how to say it in French. The phrase is supposed to be "catchy", too. Lord, I looove marketing talk, sometimes!

Merci, j'ai trouvé moi aussi les références de tous les salons de beauté dont le nom est "Twisted sisters" mais pas d'indication réelle sur ce que le terme désigne concrètement.

Architectural (plaited) hair styles

First try for this was the heavy metal band! added Hair and got this, which is probably what you're looking for. Too tired to figure out how to say this in French though, as I have driven a lot for work today :)
Note from asker:
The link seems to be broken but thanks for the tip about architectural hairstyle anyway
