Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Medium 12" (Shoulder length).

Medium 12 Havana twists typically last 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and lifestyle. Proper care, gentle sleeping routines, and periodic scalp cleansing extend wear. We offer touch-up services to keep your style fresh between full installs.

When installed and removed correctly using professional techniques, Havana twists minimize hair damage. We use gentle parting, protective methods, and high-quality hair to reduce tension. Follow our aftercare to maintain scalp health and schedule safe removals.

Wash gently every one to two weeks using diluted sulfate-free shampoo and focus on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly, apply lightweight conditioner sparingly to the twists, and air-dry or use a cool setting. Pat dry to avoid frizz and preserve twist integrity.

You can gently style the twists—updos, ponytails, and accessories work well. Avoid direct heat on extensions; low-heat tools on natural roots only if necessary. Use protective styling and gentle manipulation to maintain twist longevity and minimize frizz.

Installation time varies with hair density and desired fullness but typically takes 3–5 hours at Salon Daba. Our stylists work efficiently to ensure even, secure twists while prioritizing comfort. We provide time estimates during consultation when booking.

We recommend sulfate-free shampoos, lightweight leave-in sprays, natural oil for scalp hydration, and satin bonnet or pillowcase at night. Avoid heavy creams that cause buildup. Salon Daba sells curated, extension-friendly products tailored for Havana twists maintenance.
