Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Marley Twists.
With proper installation, Marley Twists typically last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. Tightness and quality of hair also influence longevity; we recommend touch-ups or reinstallation at signs of slippage.
When installed and removed carefully, Marley Twists are protective rather than damaging. Avoid excessive tension, tight parts, or prolonged wear. Our stylists use recommended techniques and inspect your hair and scalp to minimize breakage and maintain healthy natural hair.
Wash Marley Twists gently every one to two weeks with diluted sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on the scalp. Condition and apply lightweight leave-in moisturizer to the twists, then air-dry or blot with a towel to reduce frizz and preserve texture.
Yes — you can swim and exercise with Marley Twists, but protect them with a swim cap and rinse/cleanse afterward. For sleeping, use a satin bonnet or pillowcase to limit friction and prevent frizz or premature loosening.
Installation time varies by size and length but generally takes three to six hours at Smart Braids. We assess hair density and desired thickness during consultation to provide a more accurate time estimate and ensure a comfortable experience.
Choice depends on your lifestyle and desired look; medium lengths and medium-thin twists suit most clients for manageable weight and natural movement. Our stylists recommend options after assessing hair health, scalp condition, and personal styling preferences.
