Install time varies by hair length, twist size, and density. Expect 3 to 6 hours at Julia mag glamour for a full Kinky Twist service. We recommend scheduling accordingly and communicating desired size to estimate timing precisely.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap in chlorinated pools, rinse and gently cleanse after exposure, and fully dry your twists to prevent mildew. Avoid heavy soaking frequently and apply light leave-in to lock moisture and reduce frizz.

With proper care, Kinky Twists can last four to eight weeks. Smaller, tighter twists often hold longer; monitor new growth and frizz. Regular moisturizing and satin protection at night extend wear; schedule a touch-up once twists loosen or scalp needs attention.

Not necessarily. When installed by a skilled stylist at a comfortable tension, Kinky Twists protect ends and reduce manipulation. Damage happens from excessive tension, prolonged wear, or improper removal. Communicate concern, choose appropriate size, and follow maintenance to preserve hair health.

We recommend coloring your natural hair before installation for best results. Dyeing with twists in place is difficult and can damage both your hair and extensions. If color is desired afterward, consult your stylist to plan safe, professional options and timing.

Wash and deep-condition your hair twenty-four to forty-eight hours before your appointment; detangle thoroughly and avoid heavy oils. Arrive with dry, product-free hair when possible and bring reference photos for desired length and size. Communicate any scalp sensitivities with your stylist.
