Get answers to common questions about Havana Twist.

With proper maintenance, Havana Twists typically last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, daily styling, and sleep protection. Gentle cleansing, regular scalp oiling, and avoiding heavy manipulation will preserve neatness and reduce the need for early touch-ups.

When installed and removed correctly, Havana Twists are protective and minimise breakage. Ensure braids aren’t installed too tight, choose experienced braiders, and maintain scalp care. Prolonged tension or improper removal can cause damage, so follow aftercare and schedule gentle take-downs.

Yes, you can swim and exercise with Havana Twists, but protect them: wet hair with freshwater and apply leave-in conditioner before chlorinated pools, wear a swim cap if possible, and rinse/cleanse after swimming. Use gentle drying and avoid heavy friction to prevent frizz.

Pricing varies by hair length, twist size and salon time. At Zena's, Havana Twist costs depend on desired thickness and length; book a consultation for an accurate quote. We provide transparent estimates and quality materials to ensure durable results.

Daily care: sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, lightly moisturise the scalp and twists with oil or water-based spray, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, and gently separate any fused twists. Minimal tension and weekly cleansing keep the style fresh and healthy.

Absolutely. Havana Twists are highly versatile—wear them loose, pulled into high buns, ponytails, half-up styles, or accessorised with beads and cuffs. Their soft texture makes them easy to manipulate without frizzing, offering both casual and elegant options for various occasions.
