Installation typically takes between four and eight hours depending on braid size, hair length, density, and whether extensions are added. More intricate stitch patterns or very small braids increase time. Arrive with clean, detangled hair to streamline the process.

When installed by trained stylists using knotless methods and lightweight hair, risk of damage is low. Proper tension control, careful parting, and correct removal minimize stress on edges and reduce breakage. Follow aftercare guidance for best results.

With consistent maintenance—moisturizing, nighttime protection, and gentle washing—these braids usually last four to eight weeks. Hair growth rate and stitch complexity affect longevity. Schedule touch-ups or a removal appointment when the style becomes loose or causes tension.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but take precautions. Use a swim cap for pools, rinse and condition hair after swimming, and secure braids during workouts. Keeping the scalp clean and moisturized helps preserve the stitch detail and prevents buildup.

This style suits most textured hair types and blends well with extensions for added length or volume. The knotless method is gentler on fragile edges. We assess density, length, and goals at consultation to recommend ideal braid size and extensions.

Maintain by applying lightweight oils or leave-in sprays to the scalp and braids, sleeping with a silk scarf or bonnet, washing gently every two to three weeks, and avoiding heavy products. Book professional touch-ups when needed to keep the style neat.
