How Long Does Spring Twist Last?
Weightless, all-natural looking, and impossibly easy to style, spring twists are at the top of the list for many gals seeking a protective style. But how long do they last?
Spring twists can easily last up to six weeks. Of course, this will vary from person to person, and maintenance has a lot to do with how long they can last.
The good news is that spring twists are one of the most low-maintenance protective styles you could ever wear. This makes them an excellent option for those who may tend to slack on maintenance or simply don’t want to fuss with all of the care required of other hairstyles.
How to Maintain Spring Twists
If you want to make sure your spring twist lasts the full six weeks, you’ll need to be proactive about maintenance. There are really only three things you need to do. (Go ahead and take that giant sigh of relief, ladies!)
1. Moisturize Your Scalp
You don’t need to shampoo or wash your hair while wearing spring twists, which is a definite bonus. But that doesn’t mean you should leave your scalp and new hair growth on the back burner.
Although you can put your shampoo to the side for a few weeks, you’ll want to keep your scalp hydrated adequately with a top-notch oil. Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength 7 Oil Blend Scalp & Hair Oil is an excellent choice, but you can use your preferred moisturizer.
2. Take Care of Your Edges
Are your edges starting to look a little frizzy and funky? Don’t do anything that can stand in the way of your beautiful spring twists and their longevity. Instead, bust out your favorite pomade and get those edges in check.
3. Sleep with Silk
Friction is the enemy of any protective hairstyle, including spring twists. But what some folks might not know is that cotton pillowcases and unprotected hair can lead to a whole lot of friction. Who knew something so intense was happening while you were slumbering?
To ensure that friction doesn’t shorten the lifespan of your spring twists, consider wearing a silk bonnet to sleep. You can also wrap your mane in a silk scarf or swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or stain option.
4. (Optional) Wash and Condition Gently
As I said earlier, you don’t necessarily need to wash your spring twists while installed. However, I understand entirely that build-up can happen. If your hair is feeling a little yucky, you can go ahead and give it a wash.
The key is to be as gentle as possible. Hold onto the spring twists, so you do not accidentally yank them out. When you’re done washing your hair, you can gently apply some conditioner. A good conditioner will keep your twists looking glossy and minimize the chance of frizz.
FAQs
When it comes to spring twists, it’s pretty simple. They’ll last up to six weeks, and there’s very little maintenance involved. If you want to learn more about spring twists and their longevity, I invite you to look at these frequently asked questions.
Are spring twists good for hair growth?
Spring twists are one of many top-of-the-line protective hairstyles. And, since protective hairstyles are known to encourage hair growth, spring twists can easily be said to be good for hair growth. So, if you want a lively, cute, and lightweight style, consider spring twists.
How much do spring twists cost?
Spring twists generally cost between $150 and $300, although the price depends on many factors, such as location and the experience of the hairstylist. Keep in mind that this price does not include the cost of the hair extensions, so you’ll need to factor that in separately.
Which is better, spring twist vs. Passion twist?
It really depends on the aesthetic you’re going for. Spring twists are pre-twisted and have a bouncy, twisted appearance that is surprisingly lightweight. Passion twists are pre-curled, not twisted, and have a more crinkled appearance. They’re also heavier.
