Installation usually takes 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on braid size, parting detail and hair texture. Your stylist will estimate time during consultation to ensure accurate scheduling and the best final look.

Prices vary based on braid complexity, parting, and hair density; typical costs begin at our base rate, with final price confirmed after stylist assessment. Contact Salon Daba for a personalized estimate and booking details.

We recommend at least two to three inches of natural hair to achieve secure, neat cornrows. Longer hair allows more styling options; your stylist will assess texture and length to determine suitability and technique.

This specific category is for own hair only, so we do not add extensions here. If you want extensions, ask about our braids with added hair or protective styles appointment options during booking.

Sleep on a satin or silk scarf/bonnet, moisturize scalp and braid roots with lightweight oil, avoid heavy manipulation, and schedule touch-ups as needed. Regular gentle cleansing keeps scalp healthy without disrupting braids.

Longevity depends on hair texture, care, and activity level; expect 2–6 weeks of neat wear. Regular maintenance and protective sleeping routines extend freshness, while heavy styling or friction may shorten lifespan.
