Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Installation typically takes 5-8 hours depending on hair thickness, braid density, and stylist speed. We recommend scheduling a full-day appointment; bring snacks and a device charger. Your stylist will discuss timing during consultation.
When installed by experienced stylists using knotless technique, braids minimize tension and reduce breakage. Maintain scalp care, avoid heavy extensions, and follow aftercare to protect hair. Regular moisturizing and not keeping braids too long preserves natural hair health.
Cleanse scalp every 7-10 days with diluted shampoo, moisturize with lightweight oil or braid spray, sleep on a satin bonnet, and avoid excessive pulling. Schedule touch-ups if you notice loosening for best longevity.
With proper care, expect 6-8 weeks of wear before needing removal or touch-ups. Individual results vary based on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. We recommend a maintenance check at four weeks to address any loose braids.
You can swim, but protect braids by wetting with clean water first, applying conditioner, and wearing a swim cap. Rinse and gently cleanse after swimming to remove chlorine or salt, and rehydrate braids to prevent dryness and tangling.
A consultation helps assess hair health, desired density, and custom sizing. Book a short pre-appointment or arrive early so our stylist can recommend hair options, discuss pricing, and plan the ideal braid pattern for your look.
