Get answers to common questions about Comb Twists.

Comb twists can last four to six weeks on average depending on hair growth, texture, and maintenance. Proper upkeep like nightly wraps and light moisturizing extends longevity. If you prefer a tighter look, come every three to four weeks for a refresh and maintenance.

Yes. Comb twists are a popular method to begin locs because they create a defined, uniform base. Our stylists assess hair length and density during consultation, recommend twist size, and ensure tension is appropriate to protect your hair while starting the locing process.

Comb twists work best on natural, coily, and tightly textured hair but can be adapted for various textures. Fine or very straight hair may need product, smaller sections, or additional techniques. Book a consultation so we can tailor the approach to your hair.

Protect twists nightly with a satin scarf or bonnet and avoid rough cotton. Lightly moisturize the scalp and twists with oil sprays or light creams to prevent dryness. Limit heavy products to avoid buildup, and schedule gentle washes to keep hair clean without unraveling.

When installed and maintained correctly, comb twists should not cause damage. Avoid excessive tension and frequent tight styling. Our stylists use gentle techniques, recommend protective care, and advise on appropriate appointment spacing to minimize stress and reduce risk of breakage.

Appointment time varies by hair length, density, and twist size. Typically expect 1.5 to 3 hours including full shampoo, drying, and styling. Starting locs or denser hair may require additional time; arrive a few minutes early for consultation and preparation.
