Colour & Twists for mid length hair brings together two services in one appointment: a personalised colour application and a twist-based style that showcases it. It's a good option for anyone with shoulder-length hair who wants a refreshed colour and a neat, protective style without a lengthy separate booking.
More information
What's Included
This service typically covers:
- A consultation to discuss colour goals, hair condition and history
- Colour application, which may be full-head, roots-only, ends-only, or highlights depending on what suits your hair
- Processing, rinsing and conditioning to support hair health
- Detangling, sectioning and twisting into two-strand or flat twists
- Final finishing so the twists sit neatly and show off the new colour
Before Your Appointment
A little preparation helps things run smoothly:
- First-time colour clients, or anyone with sensitive skin or a history of allergies, may need a patch test 24 to 48 hours beforehand
- Let your stylist know about any previous colour, chemical treatments or heat damage, as this affects what can be safely achieved in one visit
- If extensions are needed for the twists, the type and amount of hair should be agreed in advance
Who It Suits
Mid length hair works well for this combined service because there's enough length to show off both the twist pattern and the colour dimension, without the extra upkeep longer hair can involve. Tighter curls and coils tend to create fuller, more defined twists. Our stylists at Jayne Elliott Hair Company in Lutterworth, including senior stylists Lisa Reeve and Donna Brookes and stylist Kasie Pearce, can advise on the right colour and twist combination for your hair type and how dramatic a change you're after.
Aftercare and Longevity
Colour and twists both benefit from a bit of care between visits:
- Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner
- Limit heat styling where possible
- Protect twists overnight with a satin or silk scarf or pillowcase
- Colour typically lasts 4 to 8 weeks before regrowth or fading becomes noticeable; twists can hold for around 2 to 6 weeks depending on installation and how they're maintained
- Book a refresh or touch-up appointment to keep the look polished

Always a great experience. The colour and cut are always spot on. I especially love the organic colours this salon uses — I’m allergic to conventional dyes and can only use organic, so it’s a perfect fit. The atmosphere in the salon is always warm, welcoming, and friendly.
