Longevity depends on hair type, styling, and care. Generally styles last four to eight weeks with proper maintenance, moisturizing, and gentle handling. Touch-ups or re-installation are often recommended around six to eight weeks to keep the style neat and scalp healthy.

When performed by experienced stylists using tension-aware techniques and careful removal, these methods are low-risk. Regular moisturizing and scalp care are essential. Avoid excessive tightness and prolonged wear without breaks to minimize potential damage and support healthy growth.

Use a lightweight leave-in or moisturizing spray, gently cleanse the scalp weekly, and avoid heavy oils that cause buildup. Sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet, refresh edges as needed, and schedule salon check-ins to extend wear and maintain neatness.

Yes, but take precautions. Wear a swim cap for chlorinated or salt water, rinse and moisturize hair afterward, and tie hair securely during workouts. Excessive friction, chlorine, and salt can cause frizz and shorten the style's lifespan if not properly protected.

Timing varies with style complexity, hair length, and density. Simple crochet or small twist installs can take 1.5–3 hours, while intricate braiding or longer styles may require 3–6 hours. Your stylist will provide an estimated time during consultation.

Coloring or heat styling depends on the hair fiber. Synthetic hair often cannot be dyed or heat-styled; human hair allows more versatility. Consult your stylist before treatment and perform strand tests. Use low heat and protectants when styling to preserve integrity.
