Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Medium 16" (Armpit length).
Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on hair density, texture, and twist size. Our stylists work carefully to ensure even parting and tension for long-lasting twists. Expect a personalized consultation before beginning to confirm timing and preferences.
Aftercare includes nightly silk or satin wrap, light moisturizing spray, and gentle scalp cleansing every one to two weeks. Avoid heavy oils at the roots and retwist loose sections as needed to maintain shape and prevent frizz.
With proper care, Havana twists at armpit length usually last six to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, daily care, and activity level. Schedule maintenance appointments for tightening or partial refreshes to extend wear and maintain neatness.
Yes — our stylists prepare and braid your natural hair as needed before installing Havana twists. Proper braiding reduces tension and protects edges. We assess hair health and recommend treatments or trim if necessary to ensure a comfortable, secure install.
When installed and maintained correctly, Havana twists are a protective style that minimizes manipulation. Avoid excessive tension, heavy products at the roots, and prolonged wear without maintenance to prevent damage. Our stylists prioritize gentle techniques and advise on safe aftercare.
Yes, you can swim and exercise, but take precautions: wet hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming, wear a swim cap when possible, and dry twists thoroughly afterward to prevent mildew and reduce frizz.
