The most common question we get about twists. The good news: with a few habits they stay firm and sleek until the end.
Why do twists unravel?
The two strands are held by twisting, not a knot — so friction, moisture and frequent styling loosen the root over time. Caring for twists is above all about being gentle.
Five golden rules
- A satin bonnet every night — the most important one.
- Do not restyle every day — high buns and tight ponytails loosen them faster.
- Wash less often — every 10 to 14 days with diluted shampoo on the scalp only.
- No towel rubbing — just blot the water.
- A little mousse along the length after washing locks the twists in.
If the root loosens
Twist it a few times in the direction it was made and hold it with your fingers for a few seconds with a little gel. For bigger loosening — come in for a quick refresh.
The ends
If an end starts to unravel, dip it in warm (not hot) water for a few seconds and let it dry.
