With proper care, Large 16 twists can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, scalp oils, and maintenance routine. Avoid heavy products, sleep with a satin scarf, and schedule light touch-ups to extend wear and preserve neatness.

When applied by experienced stylists like Salon Daba, Large 16 twists are low-damage. Proper tension, gentle detangling, and professional installation minimize breakage. Avoid overly tight parts and prolonged heavy styles; follow aftercare to protect your natural strands and scalp health.

Typical installation ranges from three to five hours depending on hair density, texture, and any requested styling. We assess hair length and prepare the spring twist hair before starting. Arrive with clean detangled hair to streamline the appointment.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a protective cap for chlorinated pools, rinse and moisturize after swimming, and secure twists during workouts to reduce frizz. Frequent wetting shortens longevity, so pat dry and reapply light oil to scalp to maintain moisture balance.

Keep scalp clean with diluted shampoo and gentle massage, moisturize weekly with light leave-in sprays or oils, sleep on satin, avoid heavy products, and schedule touch-ups after two to four weeks. Handle twists gently to minimize frizz and prolong neatness.
