Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about African Braiding.
Most braiding styles last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, technique and daily care. Touch-ups for new growth or edge reshaping are recommended every two to four weeks to prolong style and maintain neatness.
Yes. Gently cleanse the scalp with a diluted shampoo or co-wash, focusing on roots and rinsing thoroughly. Use a nozzle bottle or spray to avoid frizz. Pat braids dry and air-dry fully to prevent mildew and maintain style longevity.
When installed and maintained properly, braids are protective. Excessive tension, very small braids, or leaving styles too long can cause breakage or traction alopecia. Our stylists use appropriate tension, parting, and recommend timely touch-ups to safeguard edges and scalp health.
Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase and loosely wrap braids with a satin scarf or bonnet. Use a loose pineapple or bun for long styles. These steps reduce friction, minimize frizz and keep edges smooth between touch-ups.
Touch-up appointments vary by service and hair amount; most maintenance sessions take 45 minutes to two hours. We assess growth, repair loose braids, and refresh edges. Book a consult to estimate exact timing based on your style and condition.
Yes. We can incorporate high-quality extensions for length, fullness, or creative patterning. Your stylist will match texture and weight to protect your natural hair. Pricing varies by hair type and amount; consult us for a custom plan and pricing estimate.
