Answers to common questions about our cornrow take-down services and aftercare.
Appointment length depends on braid size, hair length, and added extensions. Natural cornrows usually take 30 to 90 minutes, while box braids or added hair may require 60 to 120 minutes. We assess on arrival and estimate time so you can plan accordingly.
When performed correctly, take-downs should not damage hair. Our stylists use careful detangling, protective oils, and sectioning to remove braids without pulling. If hair is already fragile we advise treatments and gentle handling to prevent breakage and promote recovery.
Yes — we safely remove extensions, synthetic pieces, and crochet additions. Removal involves detangling and carefully cutting only when necessary, always protecting your natural strands. We'll explain the process and recommend follow-up care or conditioning to restore moisture and strength.
Arrive with dry hair and avoid heavy oils or tight buns. Bring any hair extensions or care products you used. If you experience scalp sensitivity, let us know. This helps our team plan detangling and choose the right treatments for your hair's condition.
After removal, gently shampoo and deep condition to rehydrate hair. Use a wide-tooth comb and avoid heat styling for several days. Apply a light oil or leave-in treatment to seal moisture. Schedule a trim or deep treatment if significant shedding or damage appears.
Pricing varies by braid complexity, hair length, and whether extensions are present. Natural cornrow take-downs are generally less expensive than added hair removals. We provide an accurate quote at consultation or on arrival once we assess time and product needs.
