Typically 2–6 weeks depending on hair type, scalp oiliness, and nightly protection. Wearing a satin bonnet or using a silk pillowcase, avoiding frequent manipulation, and light moisturizing help prolong the style. Book touch-ups for tightened twists or refreshed parting as needed.

Flat Twists at Sinkor Beauty Salon use only your natural hair with no added extensions. The technique focuses on precise twisting along the scalp to create defined, elegant patterns while preserving natural texture and reducing tension from excessive added weight.

You can gently cleanse your scalp while wearing twists using diluted shampoo or co-wash, focusing on the roots. Limit full washing to every 1–2 weeks to prevent frizz and loosening. Pat dry and reapply light moisturizer or scalp oil as needed.

Flat Twists work best on medium to long natural textures but can be adapted for shorter or coarser hair with consultation. Our stylists assess density and length to determine the ideal twist size and pattern for durable, flattering results.

Arrive with clean, detangled, and moisturized hair. Wash and deep-condition beforehand, detangle thoroughly, and avoid heavy styling products that weigh hair down. If color-treated or fragile, inform your stylist so they can tailor technique and product choices.

Protect at night with a satin scarf or pillowcase, lightly spritz with a hydrating mist, and apply minimal edge control. Avoid heavy oils that cause buildup. Schedule regular moisturizing and gentle scalp care to maintain shine and prevent dryness.
