How did the Passion Twist become so popular?

The style Rogers created became viral through instagram leading her to make a Youtube tutorial on how to do Passion Twists which got more than 600,000 views in September of last year.

What is different about the Passion Twist?
Passion Twist can be seen as a combination of the Senegalese Twists and Goddess Locs. The new format of the Two Strand Twist has taken over social media as a style that maintains the natural texture of black women to its full potential. The biggest difference between Passion Twist and other twisted hairstyles is that other styles use Kinky hair for a rope-shaped twist while Passion Twist uses extensions to create twists. A more loose, natural and voluminous style is able to be created.
