Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Medium 16" (Armpit length).
Most installations take between 3 to 6 hours depending on braid size, scalp prep, and extension quantity. We schedule sufficient time for neat parting and tension control. Expect longer appointments for denser or more detailed parting patterns.
When installed with lightweight hair and correct parting, Medium 16 braids should feel comfortable. Initial tightness is normal but should be adjusted. If you experience prolonged pain or numbness, contact our stylist immediately for a tension adjustment.
Maintain braids by gently cleansing the scalp weekly with diluted shampoo, moisturizing edges and braids with lightweight oil, sleeping on a silk scarf, and avoiding excessive manipulation. Regular touch-ups can refresh edges and help extend your style's life.
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before washing to allow braids to settle. Use a diluted shampoo, focus on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and air or blow-dry completely to prevent mildew. Patience prevents frizz and maintains neat parting.
With proper upkeep, Medium 16 braids typically last six to eight weeks. Lifespan varies by natural hair growth, scalp oiliness, and care routine. To avoid matting or breakage, avoid sleeping with wet hair and schedule maintenance if edges loosen.
Styling with low-heat tools depends on whether extensions are human or heat-resistant synthetic hair. Dyeing is only advisable with human hair extensions; synthetic fibers won't take color. Consult our stylist before applying heat or color so we can recommend safe options.
