With proper care, Regular Full Crochet Braids usually last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance, and activity level. Monitor tightness and moisture, and schedule touch-ups if you notice slippage or excess tension to protect natural hair.

We do not provide hair for this service. Clients must bring their own extensions in matching texture and length. We offer guidance and consultation on amounts and suitable brands to ensure a seamless install and desired volume.

Improper installation, excessive tension, or neglect can lead to breakage and thinning. Keep the scalp clean, avoid heavy pulling, moisturize roots regularly, and remove the style promptly if you experience pain or noticeable shedding to protect hair health.

Typical install times range from about 2.5 to 4 hours depending on hair prep, desired density, and stylist technique. Bringing prepped extensions and arriving with a tidy base braid can reduce time and streamline your appointment.

Maintain with nightly wrapping or a satin scarf, cleanse the scalp every one to two weeks, lightly moisturize roots and extensions, and avoid heavy buildup products. Regular checks and gentle care will extend wear and preserve hair integrity.

Exercise is fine with your braids—secure hair and rinse to remove sweat. For swimming, wear a cap when possible, rinse thoroughly afterward, and apply a light conditioner to prevent tangling and minimize matting from chlorinated or salt water.
