FAQs
How long does this hair typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, the Outre X-Pression Lil Looks Wavy Bomb Twist can last anywhere from 4-8 weeks.
Is this hair suitable for very young children?
Yes, the 8-inch length and lightweight design are specifically intended for children, making it comfortable and manageable.
Can I swim with this hairstyle?
It is recommended to limit prolonged submersion in water. If you do swim, ensure the hair is thoroughly dried afterwards and protected with a bonnet to prevent tangling.
How many packs do I need for a full head?
The number of packs needed can vary based on the desired fullness and the size of the child's head. Typically, 4-6 packs are sufficient for a full head, but it's advisable to consult with a stylist or consider purchasing an extra pack to be safe.
Can I reuse the hair?
Yes, the hair can be reused if it is carefully removed, detangled, and properly stored. It may require some refreshing with conditioner before reinstallation.
What is the difference between 'Wavy Bomb Twist' and other twist styles?
The 'Wavy Bomb Twist' features a pre-formed twist with a distinct wavy texture incorporated into the twist itself, offering a unique look compared to traditional twist hair.
Troubleshooting
Hair appears frizzy after a few days.
Lightly mist the hair with a leave-in conditioner and gently smooth it down with your fingers. Ensure you are sleeping with a satin bonnet.
Twists feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the cornrow base is not too tight. If the issue persists, consider removing and re-installing the twists with a looser base or fewer strands.
Difficulty looping the hair through the cornrow.
Ensure the crochet needle is properly inserted and the loop is open wide enough to catch the twist. Try a different angle or a crochet needle with a larger hook.
Tangling at the ends.
Gently finger-comb the ends, starting from the bottom. Trim any excessively tangled or frayed ends. Regular moisturizing helps prevent tangling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Natural Hair: Ensure the child's natural hair is clean, moisturized, and detangled.
- Cornrow Base: Create cornrows going in the direction you want the twists to fall. The number of cornrows will depend on the desired fullness.
- Crochet Installation: Using a crochet needle, loop the pre-twisted hair through the base of each cornrow. Secure the twist by looping it through itself or using a knotting technique.
- Blending (Optional): If desired, trim and blend the ends with the child's natural hair for a seamless finish.
Compatibility:
This hair is compatible with various natural hair types and textures, particularly those suited for cornrowing and crochet installation. It works best when braided into cornrows for a secure and natural-looking base.
Care:
- Moisturize: Lightly mist the twists with a leave-in conditioner or water-based moisturizer regularly to keep them hydrated and reduce frizz.
- Protect at Night: Wear a satin bonnet or scarf to bed to prevent tangling and preserve the style.
- Avoid Excessive Heat: Do not apply direct heat styling tools, as this is synthetic hair and can melt or damage the texture.
- Gentle Detangling: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle any knots, starting from the ends and working your way up.
