Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Expect 4–7 hours depending on braid size, hair density, and stylist speed. Small box braids take longer than larger braids; plan for a comfortable appointment, breaks, and consultation about thickness and parting before we begin.
Schedule touch-ups or scalp maintenance every 4–6 weeks to keep edges neat and prevent excessive matting. With proper care, braids can be maintained for 6–10 weeks, but individual hair health and growth affect timing.
You can swim and exercise, but rinse chlorine or salt promptly and tie braids up to reduce friction. Use a leave-in conditioner and protective cap for swimming; excessive soaking can loosen extension knots.
Suitable for most hair textures — especially medium to coarse natural hair — because small parts hold extensions well. Fine hair can wear them with careful install and reinforcement to avoid excess tension.
Wash scalp gently every 1–2 weeks with diluted sulfate-free shampoo. Dry thoroughly, moisturize with light oil or braid spray, and sleep on a silk scarf or bonnet to minimize frizz and preserve neatness.
Small 16" (Armpit length) braids typically last 6–10 weeks with proper care; longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. Schedule removal before excessive matting to protect natural hair.
