Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Large 20" (Mid-back length).

Expect about 3–5 hours depending on hair thickness, parting choice, and any custom detailing. We work carefully for neat, durable results. Arrive with clean, detangled hair to help the process run smoothly.

With proper care, Large 20 braids typically last 4–8 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, scalp oil, and nightly protection. Schedule maintenance or a redo when braids loosen or edges feel stressed.

We recommend at least shoulder-length hair to achieve true mid-back length. Thicker or slightly shorter hair may still work but can affect fullness. Book a consultation for personalized assessment and options.

Sleep with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet, or use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz. Re-tie loosely at the roots as needed and avoid heavy products that attract buildup.

This service uses your own hair only. Color can be applied beforehand by appointment, but we do not add synthetic extensions in this category. Discuss safe coloring timing with your stylist to protect hair.

Your stylist will consult on parting, tension, and finish before starting. We may wash and detangle first, then create neat large box braids to mid-back length, finishing with light edge styling and aftercare tips.
