Get answers to common questions about Micro Braid (Added Hair).

With proper maintenance, Micro Braid (Added Hair) typically last six to ten weeks. Longevity depends on natural hair growth, quality of installation, and aftercare such as regular moisturizing, gentle cleansing, and avoiding heavy products. Touch-ups help maintain neatness and extend wear.

When installed correctly and removed on schedule, added hair should not damage natural strands. Choose experienced stylists, avoid excessive tension, and follow recommended maintenance. Proper moisturizing and periodic breaks between installs preserve scalp health and support natural hair growth.
