Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Large 16" (Armpit length).
Expect 4–7 hours depending on hair density, scalp sensitivity, and braid size. Our stylists work deliberately for clean parts and comfortable tension. Book a dedicated appointment and arrive with detangled hair to streamline the process.
Large braids are thicker and use more hair, so some weight is expected. Proper parting, even tension, and lighter synthetic hair options minimize strain. If you have a sensitive scalp, consult with your stylist for adjustments and comfortable styling.
Cover braids with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet each night to reduce frizz and friction. Sleep on a satin pillowcase, moisturize scalp weekly, and avoid heavy oils that can attract buildup near the roots.
Wash every 2–3 weeks using diluted sulfate-free shampoo and gentle massaging to clean the scalp. Rinse thoroughly and apply a lightweight conditioner to braid length. Dry fully to prevent mildew and maintain braid integrity.
Yes, but take precautions: wear a snug swim cap, rinse salt or chlorine immediately, and shampoo after exposure. Prolonged exposure can dry synthetic hair, so deep condition occasionally and pat dry to protect braid shape.
With proper care, large braids can last 6–10 weeks depending on new growth and maintenance. We recommend a touch-up or removal by week 8–10 to prevent matting, reduce breakage, and protect your natural hair health.
