Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Gypsy aka (borabora).
With proper care, Gypsy aka (borabora) twists last four to eight weeks. Factors include hair growth rate, tension, and washing frequency. Schedule a touch-up for edges sooner; remove by an experienced stylist to avoid breakage and preserve hair health.
Yes — wash gently using a diluted sulfate-free shampoo or co-wash applied to the scalp, rinsing thoroughly. Pat twists dry, avoid vigorous rubbing, and apply lightweight oil or leave-in to seal moisture. Dry completely and sleep on satin to minimize frizz.
Improper installation or excessive tension can cause stress and breakage. Our stylists prioritize gentle parting, balanced tension, and appropriate thickness to protect follicles. Regular maintenance and professional removal reduce risk — book a consultation to choose safe length, weight, and techniques for your hair.
Installation time varies by size, length, and hair preparation, typically ranging from three to six hours. Smaller, thinner twists take longer. Book a consultation and expect additional time for hair cleansing, stretching, or customizations like beads or color adjustments.
Nightly satin wrapping, light scalp oiling, and misting with a water-based leave-in preserve shine. Avoid heavy moisturizers and waxes that cause buildup. Limit frequent manipulation, dry thoroughly after washing, and schedule professional touch-ups to keep twists looking fresh and healthy.
Yes — we can incorporate pre-colored or highlighted extension hair, as well as beads, cuffs, and wraps. Discuss color choices and placement during consultation since certain methods affect installation time and maintenance. We recommend gentle products to protect your natural hair and extensions.
