Twists, Faux Locs Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about styling, maintenance, and booking for protective installs.
Longevity depends on style, hair texture, and maintenance. Small passion or Senegalese twists can last 4–8 weeks, larger island or Marley twists often last 6–10 weeks, and faux locs or soft locs may remain secure for 6–12 weeks with proper care and touch-ups.
When applied by experienced locticians using low-tension techniques and quality hair, protective styles minimize breakage and promote retention. Regular scalp care, moisturizing, and timely removal prevent damage. Avoid overly heavy extensions or tight parts to maintain healthy growth.
Yes with precautions. Rinse and dry hair after swimming, use a swim cap when possible, and tie hair up during workouts to reduce tangling. Some synthetic hair may hold chlorine or salt, so use clarifying rinses and deep condition afterward.
Book online or call Studio 818 to schedule a consultation or service. Provide photos, desired style, hair length, and any prior extensions used. Consultations help determine timing, pricing, and hair needs to ensure a smooth, personalized appointment.
Keep scalp clean with diluted shampoo or dry cleansing, moisturize roots and strands weekly, sleep on a satin pillow or bonnet, and avoid heavy oils that cause build-up. Reinstall or refresh loose pieces every 4–8 weeks for upkeep.
Yes — we provide kids braids, men's two-strand twists, and comb-twist styles with kid-friendly seating and professional techniques tailored to shorter hair and comfort. Book a consultation to discuss timing, pricing, and style preferences.
