With proper care Kinky Twists usually last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance routines, and activities. Regular scalp moisturising and nighttime wrapping extend wear. Avoid heavy products and excessive manipulation to prevent frizz and premature loosening.

No — synthetic or human hair extensions are not included in the Kinky Twists service. Clients should bring purchased hair or select and buy from the salon. We’ll advise on suitable texture and amount during consultation to ensure the best result.

Gently moisturise the scalp and twists with a light leave-in spray or water-based moisturizer, sleep with a satin bonnet, avoid heavy oils, and retouch edges as needed. Limit excessive pulling and re-twist loose sections to maintain neatness and prevent matting.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap in chlorinated or salt water, rinse and gently cleanse after exposure, and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew. Secure ends before workouts and tie hair up to minimise friction. Expect styling adjustments after wetting.

When installed and maintained by a skilled braider, Kinky Twists are low-damage and protective. Avoid overly tight roots, excessive weight, or leaving styles too long. Communicate tension preferences, schedule regular maintenance, and give hair recovery breaks between protective styles to preserve health.

Appointments typically require three to six hours depending on hair length, density, and desired twist size. Shorter or partial installs take less time. Bring your own hair if required; we’ll confirm timing during booking and provide precise estimates after consultation.
