Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jumbo XL 12" (Shoulder length).

Installation generally takes 3 to 5 hours depending on hair texture and partitioning. We prioritize careful knotless technique to ensure comfort, even tension, and a clean, long-lasting finish for extra-large, shoulder-length braids.

Maintain braids by cleansing with a diluted shampoo, moisturizing the scalp and braid lengths weekly, sleeping with a silk scarf or bonnet, and avoiding heavy products that cause buildup to prolong freshness and protect your natural hair.

When installed with proper knotless technique and appropriate weight, Jumbo XL braids minimize root tension. We assess natural hair strength first, and recommend lighter extensions or fewer braids if your hair is fragile to prevent breakage.

You can swim and exercise, but rinse and condition braids after chlorine or saltwater exposure. Secure braids during activity, and follow aftercare to prevent frizz and tangling to keep your shoulder-length style looking fresh.

With proper care, these jumbo knotless braids typically last 6 to 8 weeks. Longevity depends on maintenance, hair growth rate, and activity level; recommend touch-ups or removal when visible new growth or loosening appears.
