Get answers to common questions about Senegalese Twists - Small/medium.

When properly installed and cared for, small/medium Senegalese twists typically last 6–8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance routines, and daily wear. We recommend touch-ups or removal before visible matting or excessive new growth.

When installed by experienced braiders using proper tension, small/medium Senegalese twists are low-damage protective styles. Avoid excessive tightness, give edges gentle care, and maintain scalp moisture. We use tension-aware techniques to protect delicate hair and reduce breakage risk.

Installation time varies with hair length, density, and twist size; expect 4–8 hours for small/medium twists. Booking allows time estimates. Plan for a full day to ensure comfort, and breaks are available during longer sessions.

Use lightweight leave-in conditioners, moisturizing sprays, and natural oils like jojoba or argan to hydrate scalp and twists. Avoid heavy creams that cause buildup. Clarify the scalp gently every 1–2 weeks and sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf.

Yes, you can exercise, but protect twists from chlorine and saltwater. Rinse and moisturize hair after swimming and wear a swim cap when possible. For intense workouts, tie twists up to reduce friction, sweat buildup, and prevent odor.

Arrive with clean, detangled, and lightly moisturized hair; blow-dry if preferred. Bring reference photos and any extension colors. Allow the full appointment time, avoid heavy oils beforehand, and discuss desired tension and length with your stylist.
