Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on hair density, twist size, and desired parting. Our stylists work carefully to ensure neat root placement and even volume. We recommend scheduling a consultation for exact timing and any prep instructions.

When installed and removed properly, kinky twists are protective and should not damage hair. We assess hair health first, use gentle techniques, and recommend maintenance tips. Avoid heavy styling and prolonged tension to prevent breakage; follow aftercare guidance and book professional removal.
