My hair 2 days before my urban twist installation

Here are some photos showing the length of my hair prior to my urban twist install. Hopefully, after the removal, it will be longer!



Urban Twist by the Damn Salon

I got my urban twist installed on November 13, 2012 in Los Angeles by Mushiya. The hair used is a high quality synthetic hair. It is very light. However, the ends do feel a little dry and have a tendency to get tangled.

I love the versatility of the urban twists and get compliments on my hair all the time.

The price can range anywhere from $300-$600 depending on the length and density of your hair and the look you are going for. Mine were on the higher end because my hair is BSL.

I will admit that I am afraid of the take down as I have 4c natural hair tangles easily and I am afraid that my hair may have locked up with the extensions. I will keep you posted on the twist removal.

Below is a photo of my urban twists taken on November 24th and on New Years Eve .

I take care of my hair by washing with my Ayurvedic ACV mud shampoo and deep conditioning via steamer weekly. Then I use my pH balanced moisturizing leave in and seal with the Damn Salon Butter or Qhemet Biologics Aethiopika Butter. I use my moisturizing spray daily and seal with and oil or butter. I massage my scalp nightly with Super Potent Black Castor Oil.
