Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Medium 16" (Armpit length).

With proper maintenance, Medium 16 twists typically last 4–8 weeks. Lifespan depends on hair texture, daily care, and activities; schedule touch-ups if you notice significant frizz or loosening to maintain a polished look.

When installed and removed carefully by our trained stylists, Medium 16 twists are low-damage. We use tension-aware techniques and recommend gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and slow removal to protect your hair and scalp.

Arrive with clean, fully detangled, and stretched hair. Avoid heavy oils or recent chemical treatments; bring photos for desired size. Our stylist may trim ends and clarify the scalp for best twist longevity.

Use sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight leave-in conditioner, and a small amount of twisting cream or butter. Light oils like jojoba or grapeseed seal moisture without weighing twists. Reapply sparingly and refresh roots between washes.

Yes, but protect your twists. Wear a swim cap or rinse and deep-condition immediately after salt or chlorinated water exposure. For exercise, tie twists up and wear a sweat-wicking scarf; follow up with a gentle cleanse to prevent buildup.

Installation typically takes 2.5–4 hours depending on hair thickness and twist size. We prioritize careful parting and uniform tension to ensure longevity. Your stylist will provide a more accurate estimate during consultation based on hair density.
