Medium Egyptian Braids typically last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. Proper aftercare, such as nightly protection, gentle cleansing, and minimal tension, extends wear and preserves neatness.

When installed by our professionals, Medium Egyptian Braids minimize breakage. We use tension-safe techniques and assess hair health; however, excessive tightness, prolonged wear without rest, or poor aftercare can cause stress, so regular maintenance is essential.

Installation time ranges from two to four hours depending on hair length, density, and desired detailing. Our stylists provide an accurate estimate during consultation and work efficiently while maintaining care and precision.

Yes—swimming and exercise are fine with Medium Egyptian Braids. Rinse and apply conditioner after swimming, wear a swim cap when possible, and dry thoroughly. Secure buns or ponytails to reduce friction during workouts.

Use a satin bonnet or pillowcase nightly, gently cleanse the scalp weekly with diluted shampoo, moisturize with lightweight oils, and avoid heavy products at roots. Schedule touch-ups to maintain freshness and prevent matting.

Extensions can be added for more length or volume with Medium Egyptian Braids; we match texture and color, and advise on weight so braids stay comfortable. Consult with your stylist to plan suitable extensions and installation.
