Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Marley Twist.

Install time depends on twist size, hair length, and stylist speed. Generally expect 3 to 6 hours for full-head Marley Twists; smaller sections take longer. Your stylist will give an estimate during consultation to plan accordingly.

Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle hair 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or products that weigh hair down. Bring reference photos and the desired length or color for Marley hair to ensure your stylist meets expectations.

With proper care—nightly satin scarf or bonnet, gentle cleansing, and minimal manipulation—Marley Twists can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, twist size, and maintenance routine; touch-ups can refresh edges and prolong wear.

When installed and removed correctly, Marley Twists are a protective style that minimizes breakage. Avoid overly tight roots, keep scalp moisturized, and limit wear time. Choose an experienced stylist to prevent tension and protect your natural hair health.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but take precautions. Wear a swim cap, rinse and condition hair after chlorinated or saltwater exposure, and gently pat dry. Keep scalp clean and apply lightweight moisturizers to maintain twist integrity and scalp health.

Refresh look by moisturizing the scalp, smoothing frizzy sections with light gel or mousse, and re-twisting loose roots. Use satin scarves at night and avoid heavy oils. Visit the salon for professional touch-ups or creative styling like updos and half-up looks.
