Installation time usually ranges from three to six hours depending on hair density and section size. We recommend allowing ample time for a precise, comfortable install and scheduling accordingly.

When correctly installed with appropriate tension and professional technique, small braids are gentle. Regular care and periodic removal prevent damage; avoid overly tight parts and consult stylist if you feel pain.

Wash gently every one to two weeks with diluted shampoo, moisturize scalp and braids lightly, sleep on a satin pillowcase, and avoid heavy buildup. Regular scalp oiling keeps hair healthy beneath braids.

Most clients wear small box braids for six to eight weeks safely. Duration depends on hair growth, scalp health, and maintenance; remove sooner if you notice excessive shedding or tension.

This service is in our 'Own Hair Only' category, so extensions are not added. If you want extra length or volume, ask about our extension services or alternative braid options during consultation.
