With proper care, Medium - Island Twist typically last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance, and sleep protection. Moisturize lightly, avoid heavy oils, and protect at night. Schedule touch-ups for visible frizz or slippage.

Medium - Island Twist works well on natural, relaxed, and transitioning hair textures. Fine to thick hair can wear the style, though very fragile or chemically damaged hair requires a consultation to assess strength before installing twists for safety and longevity.

Come with clean, detangled hair and a light, product-free scalp. Shampoo and condition 24–48 hours before your appointment, trim excessive split ends, and avoid heavy oils or gels. This ensures optimal grip, a neat parting, and longer lasting twists.

Installation time varies but typically ranges between two and four hours depending on hair length, density, and desired size. Add extra time for shampoo, conditioning, or styling details. Your stylist will give a precise estimate during consultation.

You can swim and exercise with Medium - Island Twist, but take precautions. Wear a swim cap in chlorinated water, rinse and gently condition afterward, and pat dry thoroughly. Intense sweating and saltwater exposure may shorten style life without proper care.

Nightly protection with a silk scarf or satin bonnet preserves curls and reduces frizz. Lightly mist scalp and twists weekly with a moisturizing spray, avoid heavy products, and re-twist loose edges as needed. Book maintenance appointments for longevity.
