Installation time varies by hair density, braid thickness and added extensions. Expect 5–8 hours on average; smaller box sizes or denser natural hair can lengthen the appointment. We’ll confirm timing during consultation to plan accordingly.

Knotless technique reduces tension at the root, lowering breakage risk when installed correctly. Avoid overly tight parts, maintain scalp moisturized, and have a professional remove the style. Proper aftercare and reasonable wear time protect your natural hair.

Most clients wear Smedium Thigh Length for 4–8 weeks depending on growth, scalp health and care routine. With careful maintenance you can stretch wear time, but we recommend refreshing or removal by 8 weeks to prevent matting and minimize damage.

Smedium Thigh Length suits most textured hair types, including natural, relaxed and transitioning hair. Extension blends allow customization for fine or coarse hair. A pre-appointment consultation will assess density, length and scalp condition to plan optimal braiding size.

You can swim and exercise with these braids, but protect them by braiding up, wearing a swim cap and rinsing/conditioning after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Dry thoroughly and reapply light oils to prevent dryness and odor.

Wash, deep-condition and detangle hair 24–48 hours before your appointment so it’s clean and dry. Trim damaged ends, avoid heavy oils or mineral-based products, and arrive with scalp healthy. Bring photos of the desired look for accurate consultation.
