Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Appointments typically last 4–7 hours depending on hair density and braid size. We schedule extra time for consultation and parting. Arrive with clean, detangled hair and plan for comfortable seating to ensure a relaxed, efficient installation process.
When installed correctly with gentle tension, small braids minimize breakage and promote protection. Our stylists use scalp-friendly techniques, recommend proper care, and advise regular maintenance. Avoid tight styles and schedule touch-ups to prevent stress and maintain healthy hair.
With proper care, they last 6–10 weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. Sleep with a silk scarf, moisturize scalp, and book a tightening appointment if edges begin to loosen to extend wear and preserve natural hair.
Maintain braids by cleansing scalp every 1–2 weeks with diluted shampoo, applying lightweight oils, and sleeping in a satin bonnet. Avoid heavy products and frequent tension. Schedule touch-ups at 6–8 weeks to refresh edges and prolong style life.
Yes, but take precautions—wear a swim cap, thoroughly rinse chlorine or saltwater, and moisturize afterward. Secure braids when exercising to limit friction, and dry completely to prevent mildew or scalp irritation for comfort and longevity.
You can add colored synthetic or human-hair extensions during installation for dimension or length. Dyeing natural hair before braiding is safer than coloring after. Consult with our stylists to choose appropriate hair types and avoid chemical damage.
