Get answers to common questions about 2 Strand Natural Twists.

Twists usually last two to six weeks depending on hair texture, maintenance, and sizing. Smaller twists hold longer; regular moisturizing and sleep protection extend longevity. Visit MJM Salon & Co. for professional retouches and tips to keep twists looking fresh.

When done gently and on healthy hair, twists are protective and minimize manipulation. Over-tightening, infrequent moisturizing, or improper removal can cause breakage. Our stylists assess hair condition and use gentle techniques to protect strands and recommend a safe maintenance routine.

Start with clean, detangled, and well-conditioned hair. Deep condition if needed, trim damaged ends, and apply a light leave-in for slip. Arrive with dry or slightly damp hair as advised by your stylist for best twist definition and longevity.

Use a water-based spritz, light oil, or cream to moisturize twists two to three times weekly. Sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase. Avoid heavy buildup products; refresh edges gently and schedule salon retouches when twists start loosening.

Heat styling isn't necessary and can stress twists; use low heat sparingly on loose hair if desired. Accessories like beads, cuffs, and scarves are ideal for personalization. Ask your stylist for safe accessory placement to avoid undue tension on the roots.

Appointment time varies with hair length, thickness, and twist size—typically 2 to 4 hours. Smaller, tighter twists take longer. During booking, provide hair details so MJM Salon & Co. can allocate accurate time and give a realistic estimate.
