Installation usually takes 6–10 hours depending on hair thickness, braid size and any added extensions. We schedule ample time for precision knotless technique and client comfort. Bring snacks, and plan for a full-day appointment for flawless, long small-waist braids.

When installed with the knotless method and appropriate tension, braids protect hair by reducing breakage. Proper preparation, moisturizing, and professional removal are essential. We assess your hair health and recommend sizes and maintenance to minimize risk and encourage growth.

Keep scalp clean and moisturized with light oils and diluted shampoo; sleep on a satin scarf, avoid heavy products, and gently re-moisturize braids weekly. Schedule touch-ups every 6–8 weeks and consult us for personalized care to preserve style and hair health.

Yes, but protect your braids by wearing a swim-cap when possible, rinsing and conditioning afterward, and tying braids up during workouts. Harsh chlorine and prolonged wetness can cause frizz, so follow post-swim care to maintain longevity.

With correct installation and maintenance, expect 6–10 weeks of wear. Longevity depends on hair growth, care routine, and activity level. We recommend removal by professionals once you notice excessive new growth or loosening to prevent matting and preserve natural hair.

Coloring installed synthetic hair isn't possible, but we can incorporate pre-colored extensions or subtle highlights during installation. For natural hair coloring, do it before braiding; notify us so we can assess hair integrity and match tones for a blended look.
