Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Marley Twist.

Yes. For Marley Twist styles we don't provide hair; clients must bring pre-stretched or synthetic Marley hair in the desired length and color. Bring slightly more than estimated length for adjustments; our stylists will inspect and advise before installation.

Timing varies by size and length. Small to medium sets often take 3โ€“6 hours, while larger or longer Marley Twists can take 6โ€“9 hours. Arrive with clean, detangled hair and your supplied Marley hair to keep the appointment on schedule.

Wash, condition, and thoroughly detangle your natural hair before arrival. Do not apply heavy oils or products that leave residue. Braid or section your hair as advised; clean hair ensures smoother installation and longer-lasting Marley Twists.

When installed and maintained properly Marley Twists are protective. Avoid overly tight braiding, reduce tension, and follow aftercare to prevent breakage. Remove twists gently and allow a recovery period; consult your stylist if you experience scalp pain or unusual shedding.

With correct installation and maintenance Marley Twists can last 4โ€“8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, daily care, and nighttime protection. Schedule touch-ups if needed, and remove by 6โ€“8 weeks to avoid stress to your natural hair.

Sleep on a silk or satin scarf or bonnet nightly and moisturize scalp with light oil. Avoid heavy products, excessive manipulation, and prolonged moisture. Refresh edges gently and redo any loose twists to maintain a neat, long-lasting Marley Twist style.
