Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Nubian Twists.

With proper care, Nubian Twists usually last 6–8 weeks; protective sleep routines and gentle maintenance can extend wear to 8–10 weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, installation technique, and activity level. We offer touch-ups to refresh roots and maintain a neat appearance.

Nubian Twists do not inherently damage hair when installed correctly. Avoid overly tight braiding, keep the scalp moisturized, and remove them on schedule. Professional installation and attentive aftercare minimize tension and breakage, preserving your natural hair health.

Installation time varies by twist size, hair length, and density. Expect approximately 3–6 hours for medium-sized Nubian Twists; smaller or longer twists may take more time. We provide a personalized time estimate during consultation based on your desired style.

Use a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight leave-in conditioner, and natural oils like jojoba or coconut to seal moisture. An anti-itch scalp spray and dry shampoo help between washes. Avoid heavy creams that cause buildup and weigh down the twists.

You can swim and exercise with Nubian Twists but take precautions: wear a swim cap, rinse hair with fresh water after swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner, and secure twists during workouts. Thorough drying prevents mildew, odor, and premature loosening.

Remove Nubian Twists gently by unraveling toward the roots using conditioner or oil to loosen knots. Cut synthetic extensions near the base if needed, but avoid cutting natural hair. Professional removal is recommended to minimize stress and protect hair integrity.
