Box Braids Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about styling, care, and booking Box Braids services.
Box braids usually last six to eight weeks with proper care, though longevity depends on hair growth, installation, and maintenance. Regular moisturizing, gentle sleep protection, and limited manipulation extend wear. We recommend touch-ups or removal around eight weeks to protect your natural hair.
Properly installed by experienced braiders, box braids are protective and should not cause damage. However, overly tight parts, excessive weight, or leaving styles in too long can stress roots and cause breakage. We use careful tension and suggest regular maintenance to minimize risk.
Installation times vary by size and length; medium shoulder-length styles may take three to five hours, while small thigh-length braids can take six to eight hours or more. We provide an estimated time when you book based on your chosen length and density.
Cleanse the scalp gently every one to two weeks, moisturize roots and braid lengths, and sleep with a satin bonnet. Avoid heavy oils at the roots and limit daily manipulation. Minor frizz can be trimmed or retouched; professional maintenance every 4–6 weeks is recommended.
Yes, you can swim and exercise with box braids, but rinse and shampoo after swimming to remove chlorine or salt. Secure braids during workouts to reduce friction, and reapply light leave-in conditioner to prevent dryness. A swim cap offers extra protection.
Arrive with clean, detangled hair and a rested scalp. Bring inspiration photos and discuss preferred size, length, and hair type. If adding extensions, inform us ahead of time. Allow adequate time for installation and bring snacks or entertainment for longer sessions.
