Get answers to common questions about Senegalese Twists.

With proper installation and care, Senegalese Twists typically last 6–8 weeks. Some clients enjoy them up to 10 weeks, but we recommend a touch-up or removal at 6–8 weeks to avoid matting, new growth tension, and to maintain hair health.

When installed correctly by trained stylists using appropriate tension and quality extensions, Senegalese Twists minimize damage. Properly prepped, moisturized hair and timely maintenance reduce breakage risk. Avoid leaving twists in too long; book a consultation if your hair is weak or prone to breakage.

Appointment time varies by hair density, length, and twist size. Plan for 3–6 hours for a full head—smaller twists take longer. We recommend bringing water, snacks, and headphones; our stylists may provide short breaks during the installation for comfort.

To maintain a fresh look, wash scalp and twists gently every 1–2 weeks, moisturize with a light leave-in, and protect hair at night with a satin bonnet or scarf. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup; schedule edge touch-ups as needed.

You can swim and exercise with Senegalese Twists, but take precautions: wear a swimming cap or rinse hair immediately after exposure to chlorine or saltwater, gently dry, and reapply a lightweight moisturizer. Avoid vigorous activities that cause excessive tension at the roots.

Yes — we offer various colors, lengths, and twist thicknesses to suit your style. Our stylists will recommend extension types and amounts to ensure comfortable weight and natural movement. Book a consultation to discuss color blending, sizing, and any custom requests or pricing.
