Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Installation usually takes 3–6 hours depending on hair density and stylist speed. At Salon Daba we assess texture and customize parting to ensure consistent small twists, and we recommend scheduling accordingly to allow thorough and comfortable service.
Wash and deep-condition your hair 24 to 48 hours before the appointment, avoid heavy oils, and detangle thoroughly. Bring reference photos and edge preferences. Arrive with dry, product-free hair for the cleanest install and longest hold.
With proper care Small 16 twists typically last 4–8 weeks. Longevity depends on growth rate, sleep protection, product buildup, and maintenance. Regular scalp care and gentle styling can extend wear, while refreshes prolong a fresh appearance.
When installed by professionals and properly maintained, Small 16 twists are protective and minimize manipulation. Avoid overly tight roots, heavy extensions weight, and prolonged wear without care. Salon Daba uses tension-safe techniques to preserve edge and hair health.
Sleep on a satin bonnet or pillowcase, moisturize scalp with light oil, and mist twists with a leave-in spray weekly. Avoid heavy creams, minimize manipulation, and schedule a midterm refresh if frizz appears to keep style neat.
Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap for chlorinated pools, rinse immediately after salt water, and reapply light moisturizing spray. Secure twists for high-impact workouts and pat dry to prevent matting or excess frizz.
