Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 12" (Shoulder length).
Small 12 (shoulder-length) braids typically last four to eight weeks depending on hair type, growth rate, and maintenance. Proper cleansing, nightly satin wrap, and avoiding excessive pulling help retain neatness and protect your natural hair.
When installed correctly with appropriate tension, Small 12 braids can protect hair by minimizing daily manipulation. Overly tight braiding or prolonged wear without care can cause breakage; our stylists use gentle techniques and advise regular maintenance to minimize risk.
Installation time varies with hair density and precision but typically ranges from two to four hours. Small-size braids require more parting and detail, so book accordingly; our team provides time estimates during consultation for accurate scheduling.
Yes. You can gently cleanse the scalp and braids with diluted shampoo or a dry-cleanse method. Rinse carefully, pat dry, and avoid vigorous scrubbing. Regular cleansing prevents buildup and keeps the scalp healthy without loosening the style.
This service is for own hair only, so no extensions are used. We craft Small 12 shoulder-length braids using your natural hair, emphasizing density through small sections and technique. Extensions can be discussed as a separate service if desired.
Wrap your braids with a satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz. Lightly oil the scalp, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, and retie loose braids in the morning for a fresh look.
