With proper maintenance—nighttime satin scarf, light oiling, and avoiding heavy manipulation—Flat Twists typically last three to six weeks. Exact duration depends on hair texture, growth rate, and activity level; schedule touch-ups if edges loosen or twists look frizzy.

When installed correctly with moderate tension, Flat Twists protect hair without harming edges. Communicate sensitivity with your stylist; we’ll adjust tension, use gentle parting, and recommend maintenance to prevent breakage and protect delicate hairlines.

Yes. Use diluted shampoo or co-wash and focus on the scalp, rinsing gently to avoid unraveling. Apply conditioner sparingly to avoid buildup. Blot dry and air-dry or use low heat; retwist any loose sections after complete drying.
