Senegalese twists often last 4–8 weeks with proper care. Pricing starts at $175 depending on size, length, and included hair. Installation time varies by thickness and length and can take up to eight hours for full installs.

Our starting price of $175 includes the extension hair for many sizes; final cost varies by length, thickness, and type of hair used. We’ll provide an exact quote during consultation or at appointment based on your chosen style.

Wash and thoroughly detangle your hair 24 hours before your appointment; avoid heavy oils or creams. Hair should be completely dry. Bring photos of your desired look and any specific extensions or color preferences to help your stylist deliver accurate results.

Wait at least 48 hours before wetting the twists to allow the roots to set. When washing, use a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, focus on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely to prevent mildew and help the style last longer.

When installed properly and not too tightly, Senegalese twists protect hair and minimize manipulation. However, long-term wear without breaks, excessive tension, or poor maintenance can cause breakage. Rotate styles, avoid heavy extensions, and give your hair rest periods to maintain healthy growth.

Installation time varies by size, length, density, and desired finish. Small or long twists can be time-consuming; full installs can take anywhere from three to eight hours. We recommend scheduling accordingly and bringing snacks or water for longer appointments.
