Get answers to common questions about Marley Twists.

With proper care, Marley Twists can last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, daily routines, and maintenance. Regular scalp cleansing, light moisturizing, and nighttime protection with a satin scarf or bonnet extend longevity and keep twists looking fresh.

If installed too tightly, Marley Twists can cause tension. Our stylists use gentle parting and secure, not tight, placement to protect your edges. Communicate sensitivity, avoid heavy styles, and schedule regular touch-ups to minimize strain and promote healthy hair retention.

Cleanse the scalp every one to two weeks using diluted sulfate-free shampoo or gentle co-wash. Focus on the roots, rinse thoroughly, and apply a light leave-in conditioner. Pat dry, avoid vigorous rubbing, and retwist any loosening pieces to prevent frizz.

Yes — Marley Twists are versatile for updos, buns and ponytails. Use low-tension techniques and avoid tight hairlines to protect edges. Secure with soft bands or pins, and alternate styles to reduce stress. Consult your stylist for weight-appropriate updo options.

Installation time varies by size, length, and density but typically ranges from three to six hours. Larger, fuller Marley Twists require more time. Your stylist will provide an estimated duration during booking and advise on preparation to streamline the process.

Synthetic Marley hair doesn't take permanent color and can melt under high heat. Use temporary color sprays or consult your stylist about pre-colored extensions. If heat styling, use low temperatures, heat protectant, and only on heat-resistant fiber or natural hair sections to avoid damage.
