Installation typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on hair density, braid size, and desired fullness. We schedule ample time for precision, consultation, and comfort. Bookings may vary; arrive with clean, detangled hair for best timing.

When installed by trained stylists using proper tension and quality extensions, Medium 8 braids are protective. Avoid overly tight braiding, follow aftercare guidance, moisturize scalp, and schedule touch-ups to minimize breakage and support healthy hair growth.

Sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase, moisturize scalp and braids with light oils or sprays, avoid heavy products, and gently clean your scalp every 1-2 weeks. Schedule professional touch-ups to keep neat edges and prevent slippage.
