Frequently Asked Questions

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

With proper care, Large 8 (Ear length) twists typically last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, maintenance routine, and how often you sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet.

When installed and maintained correctly, extensions should not damage hair. We use gentle techniques, advise regular scalp cleansing, and recommend scheduled touch-ups to prevent tension and preserve natural hair health.

Appointment time ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on twist size, client hair density, and chosen extensions. We provide an accurate estimate during consultation and plan for comfort breaks.

Refresh edges with light moisturizing, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and avoid heavy oils that loosen twists. Book maintenance appointments every 4–6 weeks for optimal shape and longevity. Also use a satin bonnet when possible to reduce friction.

You can swim and exercise, but protect twists by wearing a swim cap or applying leave-in conditioner before water. Rinse, gently cleanse, and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew or premature unraveling.

Most synthetic extensions cannot be colored or heated; consult your stylist about heat-safe options. We recommend professional styling to avoid damage and preserve twist integrity. If you prefer coloring, we can source human-hair extensions that accept color safely and test first.
