Yes — Marley twists work on many textures; natural, relaxed or damaged hair can be protected. Minimum length recommendations vary, but typically at least two to three inches of hair helps secure the base for long-lasting installation.

With proper care, Marley twists last four to eight weeks. Factors like hair growth rate, installation quality and daily care affect longevity. Remove them promptly if excessive shedding, matting or scalp irritation occurs to protect natural hair health.
