The Glow-Up Between Styles: Why Takedown Day is Just as Important as Install Day

We talk a lot about the first day of a protective style — the fresh parts, the crisp braids, the way your hair moves just right. But what about the last day? That moment when it’s time to let go of the style you’ve been loving and give your curls the freedom to breathe again.

Takedown day is more than just unbraiding. It is the bridge between one look and the next, the part that often decides whether your natural hair thrives or struggles.

At Twist & Go Hair Spa, we treat takedown day like the glow-up moment it truly is. Every single braid release is followed by a gentle detangle, a rich shampoo and conditioner session, and a blow dry to set you up for whatever style you are stepping into next.

We have seen what can happen when a takedown is rushed — breakage, knots, dryness — and we are not letting that happen to you, curlfriend. Whether your braids were large knotless, tiny boho knotless, crochet, or lemonade, we work section by section, giving each strand the same care you would give on wash day with the bonus of having a professional hair care team.

Braid size and style matter. Smaller braids like extra small knotless or micro boho take more time and care, which is why our menu is tailored to your braid type. If your hair is especially dense or long, we adjust so that every strand gets the attention it deserves.

Think of it like this: you would not just walk into a party without getting ready first, so why walk into your next style without giving your natural hair a proper reset?

Next time your braids are ready to come down, skip the all-day DIY marathon and let us turn takedown day into your very own hair spa day.
