What the style is
Small kinky twists are a section-by-section protective style that creates uniform, textured rope-like twists reaching bra-strap length. At Salon Daba we focus on consistent sizing and secure bases so the finished set reads longer and fuller while keeping hair contained. Because the length is bra-strap, the overall weight and movement are noticeably greater than shorter twists.
Expect a full appointment: Small 18" (Bra-strap length) is scheduled for 375 MINUTES to complete small-sized twists to this length. We see peak demand in Jun, Jul, Aug and Dec, so book ahead for summer events or holiday plans. Our Hollywood location accommodates quick pre- or post-commute scheduling and evening/weekend bookings for clients who work late in entertainment or hospitality.
How we prepare hair
Before we start, your stylist will consult about your hair history, maintenance preferences, and upcoming events. We assess natural length, condition and parting patterns to determine spacing and how bra-strap length will sit. Small twists rely on even sectioning and gentle tension; we adjust placement and tightness to balance longevity with scalp comfort based on what you tell us.
This service is time-intensive—375 MINUTES—so plan your day accordingly. Bring headphones, water, and anything you need for a long appointment; short bathroom breaks are built into the process. Evening and weekend appointments are available to fit entertainment industry schedules, and our location near Hollywood/Highland makes transit easier for pre-show or post-commute clients.
Maintenance and expected longevity
How long twists last depends on hair growth rate, styling habits, and how well the bases are kept clean and low-tension. Regularly moisturize strands and soothe the scalp without over-manipulating the twist pattern. Small twists at bra-strap length can move and stretch with activity, so expect gradual loosening rather than a fixed shape over time.
We recommend periodic check-ins so your stylist can evaluate wear and recommend re-tensioning or removal; timing varies by client. Because demand rises in summer and December holidays, scheduling a follow-up at booking helps secure preferred times. Our team can discuss safer removal approaches and next-style planning during those check-ins to protect natural hair underneath.
