Definition and stretch

Twist-outs, wash-and-gos and sets

Styles that define your curl pattern and give it stretch, set on freshly washed hair.

A twist-out sets two-strand twists and takes them down for stretch. A wash-and-go defines curls as they are. A rod set gives an even curl, and flat twists or two-strand twists in your own hair last between wash days.

What to bring or tell us

  • Your hair's length and what you usually do with it

  • How long you want the style to last

  • A photo of a finish you like, if you have one

    Under a hood dryer or a diffuser until the twists are dry through.

Questions about this service

How long will it last?

It depends on your hair, the weather and how you sleep. We tell you what to expect at your consultation, and how to refresh it.

Can you do a wash-and-go on short hair?

Yes. Shorter hair defines differently, and we'll show you what to expect before we start.

Do you braid?

We do twists and flat twists in your own hair, but not braid installs with extension hair.
