With proper care and regular maintenance, Micro Twist installations commonly last six to eight weeks. Factors like hair growth rate, sleeping protection, and gentle cleansing routines affect longevity; occasional tightening can extend wear while preserving scalp health.

When installed by a skilled stylist and not overly tight, Micro Twists protect ends and reduce manipulation, lowering breakage risk. Proper removal, moisturizing, and avoiding heavy products ensure scalp health. Neglect or excessive tension can cause damage, so professional care is essential.

Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser diluted with water; apply to scalp and cleanse carefully without heavy rubbing. Condition ends lightly, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry or use a low-heat dryer. Sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet and refresh twists with light oil or mousse.

Yes. Micro Twists offer versatile styling—updos, buns, and ponytails are possible when styles aren't overly tight. Use gentle bands, avoid constant pulling on the edges, and alternate styles to prevent stress. Consult your stylist for secure, low-tension options.

Installation time varies with hair density and length but usually takes three to six hours. Dense or longer natural hair may require additional time. Your stylist will provide an estimate during consultation to plan accordingly and ensure careful, neat placement.
