With proper maintenance—gentle washing, nightly wrapping, and scalp moisturization—these braids can last 6 to 8 weeks. Individual factors like hair growth rate, installation quality, and activity level may shorten or extend wear.
When installed correctly with low-tension knotless technique and reasonable weight, these braids minimize breakage and protect edges. Regular scalp care, gentle handling, and timely removal are essential to prevent stress and maintain healthy hair.
Installation time varies by hair length, density, and desired size, but expect approximately 4 to 7 hours. Booking consults helps assess time more accurately; bringing clean, detangled hair and being prepared for a long appointment speeds the process.
You can swim or exercise, but take precautions: wear a swim cap for chlorinated pools, rinse and moisturize hair after swimming, and secure braids to minimize friction. Consistent post-activity care helps maintain style and scalp health.
Maintain with weekly gentle cleansing, light oiling of the scalp, and nightly satin scarf or bonnet. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup, refresh edges with a light gel, and schedule touch-ups for loose braids to extend lifespan.
Remove braids after 6 to 8 weeks or sooner if you experience excessive shedding, scalp irritation, or significant new growth. Leaving them in too long increases tangling and breakage risk—schedule a professional removal to minimize damage.
