Yes — extensions can be added for length and volume. We use attachment methods that match your natural hair and minimise weight. Discuss desired size and maintenance so we can recommend appropriate extension hair and installation for comfort and durability.

Timing varies with hair length, thickness and twist size. Plan for two to six hours; smaller or longer twists take more time. We'll give a precise estimate during consultation so you can allocate enough time for a careful, comfortable install.

Mali Twists are highly versatile: wear them down, in high or low ponytails, buns, half-up styles, braided crowns, or accessorised with beads and cuffs. They adapt well to formal events or casual everyday looks with simple styling changes.
