Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Installation usually takes between four to seven hours depending on hair density, braid size, and stylist speed. We prioritize neat, consistent braids and may allow extra time for parting, moisturizing, and finishing touches to ensure polished results.
Keep the scalp clean with diluted shampoo or cleansing sprays, moisturize edges and braid lengths, sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet, and avoid heavy oils at the root. Follow salon product recommendations and schedule routine touch-ups.
We recommend wearing braids for six to eight weeks maximum to protect your natural hair. Leaving them longer can increase tension and breakage risk; monitor scalp health and book removal once signs of stress appear.
When installed with appropriate tension and cared for properly, small box braids are protective. Avoid overly tight parts, frequent re-installation, or excessive weight to minimize stress; our stylists prioritize hair health during every service.
Yes — synthetic or human hair extensions and color can be incorporated for length or highlights. Inform your stylist at booking, as color and extension choices can affect installation time, pricing, and final texture match.
Wash and deep-condition hair 24–48 hours before your appointment, detangle thoroughly, avoid heavy oils, and arrive with dry hair unless instructed otherwise. Bring inspiration photos and discuss parting preferences during your consultation.
