Answers to common questions about maintenance, sizing, and preparation for feeding braids.
With proper care—gentle cleansing, nightly silk covering, and avoiding heavy oils—feed-in braids can last six to ten weeks. Duration varies with hair growth rate, braid size, and maintenance. Regular touch-ups can extend wear and preserve neatness without stressing the scalp.
When installed by experienced braiders using the feed-in method, tension is minimized and breakage risk reduced. Proper parting, gradual extension feeding, and aftercare help protect hair. Avoid overly tight braids or leaving styles longer than recommended to prevent stress and thinning.
Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle your hair one to two days before your appointment. Ensure scalp is free of heavy oils and product buildup. Trim damaged ends and bring inspiration photos for accurate length and thickness selection.
Yes. Use a gentle, diluted shampoo and focus on the scalp, rinsing thoroughly. Pat dry and avoid vigorous rubbing. Follow with lightweight leave-in conditioner on braid lengths. Drying completely prevents mildew. Limit washes to once weekly or as advised to maintain style longevity.
Size choice depends on desired braid thickness, scalp pressure tolerance, and overall look. Medium sections create bolder, fuller braids; small sections give finer, more natural-looking lines. Discuss your hair density, lifestyle, and preferred maintenance level with your stylist for the best recommendation.
Installation time varies by braid size and stylist speed. Expect three to six hours for small straight-back waist-length feed-in braids, and four to seven hours for medium sections. We provide a time estimate during booking based on your chosen style and hair condition.
