Installation typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on hair density, twist size, and stylist speed. Please arrive with clean, detangled hair; longer or fuller installs may require extra time, so plan accordingly when booking.

Medium 18 bra-strap Havana twists work well on most hair textures, including natural, relaxed, and transitioning hair. Extensions can add length or fullness; consult your stylist about density, twist thickness, and base preparation for best results.

Nightly care includes wearing a satin bonnet or scarf, or sleeping on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Lightly moisturize the scalp and twist roots with a water-based mist and oil; avoid heavy creams that cause buildup and unraveling.

With proper care, Medium 18 twists last about 4 to 8 weeks. Longevity depends on routine maintenance, hair growth rate, and activity level. Schedule touch-ups or removal if you notice excessive frizz, tangling, or root stress to protect hair.

You can swim and exercise with Medium 18 twists, but take precautions: braid or bun twists, wear a swim cap, and rinse hair immediately after swimming. Use dilute shampoo and deep-condition afterward to remove chlorine or salt and restore moisture.

When installed and removed correctly, Havana twists are a protective style that minimizes manipulation and breakage. Excessive tension, prolonged wear, or improper care can cause damage—choose a skilled stylist, avoid tight parts, and maintain regular upkeep.
