Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Large 8" (Ear length).

With proper care, Large 8" (Ear length) kinky twists generally last 6–8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, upkeep, and sleep protection—touch-ups can extend wear and keep the style looking fresh.

Large twists use thicker strands, but ear-length reduces overall pull. Our stylists balance size and placement to minimize tension, using gentle installation techniques for comfort and scalp health.

You can exercise and swim, but protect twists from chlorinated or salty water when possible. Rinse and gently cleanse after exposure, and dry completely to prevent mildew or excess frizz.

Installation typically takes 2–4 hours depending on hair density and customization. We recommend allowing extra time for consultation, parting preferences, and any styling or edge work.

Use lightweight oils or a scalp serum, a gentle leave-in, and sulfate-free shampoo when washing. Avoid heavy creams that weigh twists down; a light mousse helps control frizz and maintain shape.

Refresh by re-twisting loose sections and moisturizing the scalp. For removal, unravel gently, detangle with conditioner, and follow with a deep conditioning treatment to restore moisture and elasticity.
