Kinky Twists typically last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, care routine and activity level. Regular moisturizing and gentle handling extends wear and keeps twists looking fresh longer.

When installed by trained stylists and not pulled too tight, Kinky Twists are a protective style that minimizes breakage. Proper preparation, moderate tension and consistent moisture reduce risk and support healthy hair.

Cleanse scalp gently every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo or co-wash, focus on scalp health. Moisturize twists two to three times weekly with a light leave-in and seal with oil to prevent dryness.

Yes. Wash, deep condition, detangle and dry your hair before your appointment. Healthy, detangled hair installs more smoothly and lasts longer — our stylists can recommend additional pre-care if needed.
