With proper care, these extra-large twists can last four to eight weeks. Lifespan depends on hair growth, maintenance routine, and nightly protection like silk scarves. Schedule touch-ups if edges or new growth become noticeable to preserve a neat look.

Some clients feel added weight because of the larger twists, but experienced stylists distribute hair to minimize strain. If you have a sensitive scalp, discuss lighter installations, fewer twists, or shorter length during your consultation.

Installation time varies by stylist and hair density; expect three to six hours for jumbo twists at bra-strap length. Book a consultation so we can estimate time precisely based on your natural hair and desired fullness.

Yes—gently. Use a diluted shampoo and concentrate on the scalp, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to prevent frizz. Condition lightly and air-dry or use low heat; ensure twists dry fully to prevent odor or mildew.

We recommend medium to thick natural hair for secure, flattering jumbo twists. Thin hair can work with careful sectioning and added braiding hair; discuss extensions and attachment methods during your consultation for the best customized result.

Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, moisturize scalp weekly, and refresh edges as needed. Avoid heavy oils that attract buildup. Schedule professional touch-ups at three to six weeks to maintain shape and prevent matting.
