Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Havana Twists.

With proper care Havana Twists usually last six to eight weeks, and sometimes up to ten weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level; schedule timely touch-ups or removal to avoid matting or stress at the roots.

When installed and removed professionally with correct tension, Havana Twists are generally protective. Avoid overly tight installs, frequent reinstallation, and neglecting scalp care to minimize breakage risk and preserve hair health.

Installation time varies by hair length and twist size but typically takes three to six hours. Chunky Havana Twists are faster than smaller styles; arriving with clean, detangled hair and reference photos helps speed the process.

You can swim and exercise with Havana Twists, but protect them from chlorine and saltwater by wearing a swim cap and rinsing afterward. Secure hair during workouts and moisturize the scalp regularly to prevent dryness and frizz.

We use soft, lightweight synthetic or premium faux-hair extensions selected specifically for Havana Twists to deliver fullness without excess weight. Colors and textures are matched to your preference for a natural, comfortable finish.

Cleanse the scalp weekly with diluted shampoo or a gentle cleanser, mist with a lightweight moisturizer, sleep on a satin pillowcase, and avoid heavy products that cause buildup. Schedule touch-ups or trims as needed to maintain a neat appearance.
