Properly installed cornrows with extensions can last four to eight weeks. Maintenance needs depend on hair growth rate, scalp care, and sleep protection. We recommend touch-ups at four weeks and full re-installation when braids loosen or feel heavy.

When braided correctly with appropriate tension and quality extensions, cornrows protect hair and encourage growth. Overly tight braids, prolonged wear without breaks, or improper removal can cause breakage. We prioritize scalp health and advise regular breaks and gentle care.
