Twists, Locs & Protective Styles FAQ
Answers to common questions about installations, care, and choosing the right protective style.
With proper installation and maintenance, passion twists typically last 6–8 weeks. Lifespan depends on hair type, growth, and care. Monthly touch-ups refresh edges; avoid heavy oils and sleep with a satin bonnet to prolong the style.
Faux locs are created by wrapping or interlocking hair to mimic mature locs, often using thicker synthetic hair. Soft locs use softer, lightweight hair for a more natural, flexible look. Both protect natural hair but differ in texture and weight.
Yes. Crochet braids are installed over cornrowed or braided foundations and work well for protective styling. They offer fast installation and versatile textures, but ensure braids aren't too tight. We tailor the base to your hair health.
Wait 72 hours after installation before shampooing to allow knots and parting to settle. Use diluted sulfate-free shampoo and focus on the scalp, rinsing thoroughly. Dry completely—air-dry or low-heat blow dry—to prevent mildew and preserve the style.
Yes, when installed with low tension, age-appropriate sizes, and regular scalp checks. For kids we recommend shorter wear times, gentle parting, and minimal weight. Choose kid-friendly braids or lighter crochet and schedule regular maintenance.
Consider your lifestyle, maintenance tolerance, and natural hair density. Smaller twists look detailed but require more upkeep; larger twists are quicker and lower-maintenance. We offer consultations to match size, texture, and hair type for optimal results.
