Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on braid size, hair density and stylist speed. Our team works efficiently while ensuring neat parts and tension-free technique to protect your scalp and achieve the voluminous armpit-length look you requested.
Arrive with clean, dry hair and remove extensions or chemical treatments. Bring reference photos and any preferred products. Avoid heavy oils beforehand; hydrate and eat beforehand for comfort during the long appointment. Communicate desired parting and size with your stylist.
Low maintenance: refresh edges with light oils, wrap at night with a satin scarf, and cleanse scalp every 1–2 weeks using diluted shampoo or dry cleansing. Schedule touch-ups for new growth every 6–8 weeks to preserve neatness and prolong wear.
When installed with proper tension and care, braids are protective. Our stylists use gentle techniques, appropriate sizing, and advise on maintenance to minimize breakage. If hair is fragile, we recommend a consult and modified installation to protect strands and scalp.
Yes. Rinse salt or chlorine promptly, apply leave-in conditioner, and wear a swim cap when possible. After exercising, dry scalp thoroughly and refresh with a lightweight oil or braid spray. Proper aftercare prevents odor and prolongs braid life.
With good care, armpit-length individual braids last between 6 to 10 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, installation quality and maintenance. Regular scalp care and touch-ups at 6–8 weeks will extend wear while keeping the style fresh and voluminous.
