Installation usually takes 6–10 hours depending on hair density, length, and desired parting detail. Extra small sections require more time for precision; plan for a full-day appointment and bring snacks, water, and patience.

When installed by trained braiders with knotless technique and proper tension, risk is minimized. Maintain scalp health, avoid heavy products, and schedule regular touch-ups. Remove braids carefully after recommended time to prevent breakage and promote hair growth.

Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle your hair 24–48 hours before your appointment. Do not apply heavy oils or leave-in products. Bring reference photos and any preferred extension hair; arrive with well-moisturized, clean scalp to speed up the process.

With diligent maintenance—regular moisturizing, night protection, and gentle handling—these braids can last 6–10 weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate and lifestyle; schedule removal or refreshments at signs of significant frizz or scalp discomfort.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but take precautions. Rinse and condition hair after swimming, wear a swim cap when possible, and tie braids up during workouts to reduce tangling and frizz. Regular moisturizing will protect both scalp and extensions.
