Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jumbo XL 18" (Bra-strap length).

Installation typically takes three to five hours depending on hair density, natural texture, and requested fullness. Because these are extra-large twists, dense hair may be quicker; please arrive with clean, detangled hair to help speed the process.

When installed properly by our experienced stylists, Jumbo Havana twists act as a protective style that reduces daily manipulation. Avoid excessive tension at the roots, follow aftercare guidance, and schedule gentle removal to minimize breakage and maintain hair health.

With proper aftercare, they usually last four to eight weeks. Touch-ups may be needed at the edges, and avoiding heavy oils and excessive manipulation helps preserve longevity. We recommend a maintenance check after three weeks.

You can swim and exercise, but take precautions: wear a swim cap in chlorinated or salt water, rinse and condition hair immediately after, and tie twists up for vigorous workouts to prevent frizz and reduce tangling.

Wash every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo applied to the scalp; gently cleanse and rinse without roughing the twists. Condition roots and rinse thoroughly, air-dry or blow-dry on low, and protect at night with a silk scarf. Re-twist loose roots as needed.

Coloring or heat styling depends on the hair type used. Synthetic hair cannot be colored and resists heat; human or heat-friendly extensions may be colored or styled at low temperatures. Discuss options during consultation so we choose safe products and techniques for your twists.
