On average the installation takes about 1.5 to 3 hours depending on hair length, density, desired complexity, and stylist speed. We recommend budgeting ample time for consultation and styling details beforehand.

With proper care, the style can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance, sleeping routines, and if touch-ups are performed. Schedule follow-ups to preserve neatness and prevent tension on your natural hair.

You can swim and exercise but take precautions: wear a snug swim cap, rinse hair thoroughly after chlorine or saltwater, and moisturize. Frequent soaking may reduce longevity so schedule extra care if you swim often.

When braided correctly with proper tension and professional technique, damage is minimal. Avoid overly tight braids, give your scalp breaks between installs, and follow salon aftercare to maintain healthy hair and scalp.

This half-head stitch works well on textured, coily, kinky, and relaxed hair. Extensions let fine or thin hair appear fuller; consult our stylist to select the best extension type and placement for your texture.

Wash and detangle your hair 24–48 hours before your appointment, avoid heavy oils, and bring reference photos. Arrive on time and discuss desired thickness, length, and parting to help your stylist deliver the look.
