You can exercise and occasionally swim, but chlorine and saltwater can dry extensions and natural hair. Rinse thoroughly, apply leave-in conditioner, and wear a swim cap. After swimming, deep-condition and dry the braids completely to prevent odor and mildew.

Dilute sulfate-free shampoo, gently cleanse scalp and braid roots weekly or biweekly. Condition with a leave-in, avoid heavy creams near the roots, and air-dry or use low heat. Regularly oil the scalp and sleep with a satin bonnet to prevent frizz.

Yes—these braids are highly versatile. Your stylist can create sleek updos, half-up styles, ponytails, or flowing side-swept looks. We can add beads, cuffs, and color extensions to match events or moods while preserving the braid structure and longevity.

When installed and removed properly, Senegalesse Twists are protective. However, excessively tight braiding, prolonged wear without breaks, or improper removal can cause breakage. We recommend professional installation, regular scalp care, and giving hair rest periods between installations to maintain health.
