Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Marley Twists.

With proper care Marley Twists generally last 4–8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance, and sleeping habits; regular moisturizing, nighttime protection, and avoiding heavy manipulation help preserve twists and keep the scalp healthy for the duration.

Bring the recommended amount based on your desired length and thickness. Required hair amount will be shown on your confirmation page; bringing a little extra allows the stylist to match volume and achieve an even, full result.

Yes. Gently wash with a diluted sulfate-free shampoo applied to the scalp, rinse carefully, and air-dry or blot dry. Moisturize twists, retwist loose roots, and avoid vigorous rubbing to minimize frizz and extend lifespan.

When installed and maintained correctly Marley Twists are protective. Avoid overly tight parts, excessive weight, and prolonged wear without breaks. Regular scalp care, professional removal, and rest periods between installs reduce tension and minimize breakage risk.

Installation typically takes between three and six hours depending on hair length, twist size, and stylist speed. Smaller twists and longer lengths require more time. We provide an estimated duration when you book so you can plan accordingly.

Be cautious using heat or color on Marley hair. Many synthetic Marley fibers cannot tolerate high heat or dye; if you want to color or heat-style, consult your stylist about using human-hair Marley or safe, low-heat techniques.
