HOW LONG DOES IT TYPICALLY TAKE TO GET STYLED?

When considering different hairstyles at Eff Hair & Beauty, it's essential to account for the time required for each one. The duration for styling varies depending on your chosen look. Nomadik/Natastic Twists typically take around 3-4 hours, while Box Braids can range from 3-5 hours. Marley Twists usually take about 2-3 hours to complete, whereas Retro Twists might require 2-4 hours. For a more intricate style like Mini Nomadik Twists, anticipate spending 4-6 hours. Similarly, Mini Retro Twists can take approximately 3-5 hours. If you opt for Kynks, the styling process usually lasts around 2-3 hours.


HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

When it comes to the longevity of your hairstyle, it's essential to bear in mind that ALL styles usually have a lifespan of 2 to 4 months. However, this duration can fluctuate depending on the specific characteristics of your hair, such as type and texture. It's crucial to note that while we strive to provide long-lasting styles, we cannot entirely predict how your hair may react, particularly in terms of frizz. Each individual's hair behaves uniquely, with some styles enduring longer on certain hair types than others. Moreover, the longevity of a style is also influenced by personal preference; some clients prefer the freshness of a new hairstyle, while others embrace a more lived-in look. Hence, the duration of your desired style can vary based on these factors.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY HAIR?

DISCLAIMER

  • If you have fine or straighter-textured hair, your hair may protrude due to the mismatch of curly hair and straight ends. Nonetheless, styles can still be flawlessly executed.

  • If your hair is naturally frizzy, your twists will naturally frizz as we maintain the integrity of your natural hair without forcing it to conform to the twists. The twists generally settle after about two weeks.

  • The fullness of the twists can be adjusted for those with fine hair while naturally adapting to the volume of your hair.

  • Each style at Natastic Hair Lounge is uniquely crafted, ensuring a different look each time.

  • We avoid tight braiding to prevent slippage, particularly common for those with straight or short hair. Slippage can also occur when the hair is soft and short.

  • Our twists tend to improve over time.

  • Before unraveling your hair, it is advisable to schedule a touch-up if needed to maintain the style's longevity and enjoy it fully.

  • Prepare yourself for the exceptional Eff Hair & Beauty Experience.
