Appointment time varies by hair length and density; most sessions at Salon Daba take between two to four hours. Your stylist will consult beforehand to estimate time, ensuring careful, even four-strand twists and comfortable, precise results.

Yes. Four-strand twists work on both loose natural hair and mature locs. Stylists assess texture, length, and loc integrity to choose tension and section size. Bring photos and discuss maintenance to ensure the style suits your hair and lifestyle.

Keep twists moisturized with light leave-in lotions or oil sprays, sleep with a satin scarf, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, and refresh roots or loose pieces with gentle re-twisting. Schedule touch-ups every four to eight weeks depending on growth.

Properly installed by trained stylists, four-strand twists are low-risk. Damage occurs from excessive tension, incorrect sectioning, or leaving styles too tight. Our team prioritizes gentle tension, even sections, and scalp health to minimize breakage and support strong hair growth.

Yes. Gentle washing is fine. Use diluted sulfate-free shampoo or co-wash, focus on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and gently squeeze water through twists. Pat dry with a microfiber towel and air-dry or use a low-heat diffuser to prevent frizz and preserve twists.
