Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jumbo XL 26" (Tailbone length).

Installation typically takes 5–8 hours depending on braid density, hair preparation, and any added length or color. Our stylists work carefully to ensure smooth knotless joins and even placement for comfortable wear and a polished, long-lasting finish.

With proper care, Jumbo XL 26 braids can last six to ten weeks. Regular scalp cleansing, protective nights, and minimal manipulation extend wear. We recommend touch-ups at four to six weeks to maintain neatness and protect natural hair health.

The knotless technique significantly reduces tension compared to traditional braids. Extra-large braids can feel heavier, so our stylists customize tension and parting. Communicate any discomfort during installation and we’ll adjust to prioritize scalp health and edges.

Yes—swimming and exercise are fine with precautions. Rinse and condition after chlorine or saltwater, tie braids up or braid them loosely when wet, and dry thoroughly. These steps prevent matting and help preserve the style.

Arrive with clean, detangled, and lightly moisturized hair. Avoid heavy oils that cause buildup. Bring reference photos for length and color. Our stylists may shampoo, condition, and trim ends before installation for optimal results.

Pricing varies by braid size, amount of added hair, color customization, stylist experience, and time required. Tailbone length and extra-large diameter increase materials and labor. Contact Salon Daba for a personalized quote and consultation.
