I found this cute hairstyle (puffy twists) and am interested to know what kind of hair is being used? Anyone have an idea?
How much do you think it should cost to have this style done?
I'm guessing it would last 6 - 8 weeks?
Thoughts?
Update:
I spoke to Lisa from Afrigenix salon who answered my questions about this style. The special is $88 for the install and $50 for the hair. This styles uses 5 packs of hair. They use toyokalon hair not kanekalon hair which is supposedly more lightweight.
The style takes 2 hours to install. If you want the twists smaller, that is an additional $50. The install time will of course increase for smaller twists. The special only applies to these puffy twists, so if you go too much smaller, it will look like kinky twists (and the $88 special price will not apply).
If you need your hair washed, that is an additional cost. To keep costs moderate, arrive with you hair already washed and detangled. You can, but are not required to, blow out your natural hair before you arrive.
The style can last for 12 weeks if you come in for touch ups (i.e., to have the hairline or nape touched up).
ETA: I stopped by the salon to see the Havana Twists in person. They are lightweight (toyokalon fiber) and they are large. The stylist had in medium sized twists and mentioned that the Havana Twist style is 28 twists or less. For my hair she suggested 24 twists or 28 twists but done a bit smaller than those in the photo.
