Installation time varies by size and length; expect roughly 3–6 hours for medium twists, longer for micro twists. Consult your stylist for exact timing and preparation tips, such as clean, detangled hair and any desired parting or added extensions.

Maintain Senegalese Twists with light moisturizing, scalp oiling, and nightly protection using a silk scarf or bonnet. Wash gently every 2–3 weeks and avoid heavy products to prevent buildup. Refresh edges and loose twists as needed to extend wear.

Senegalese Twists suit most natural textures; they work particularly well on medium to thick hair. Very fine or fragile hair may require additional care or lighter tension; your stylist can recommend appropriate size, installation method, and pre-treatment for healthy results.

Safely wear Senegalese Twists for six to ten weeks, depending on growth and care. Avoid leaving them in too long to prevent matting and breakage. Schedule a professional removal or refresh to protect your natural hair and maintain scalp health.
