Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Large 16" (Armpit length).
Installation usually takes 3 to 6 hours depending on hair density, desired thickness, and stylist speed. We book ample time for careful knotless technique to ensure even, low-tension braids and lasting results—expect a comfortable, detailed session.

Communicate sensitivity, schedule maintenance, and follow aftercare to protect edges and natural hair health.
Typically 4–8 packs of synthetic hair are used, depending on braid size and your natural hair density. Our stylists assess length and volume at consultation to recommend exact amount so braids look full without excess weight or bulk.
Yes, with precautions. Rinse and wet hair with clean water before swimming, wear a swim cap, and rinse/clarify afterward to prevent chlorine or salt buildup. For exercise, tie braids up, moisturize scalp, and wash regularly to remove sweat and residue.
