Get answers to common questions about Crochet Take Down.

Timing depends on braid density and length; most crochet take downs take between one and three hours. We allocate extra time for careful detangling, scalp checks, and conditioning to protect natural hair integrity and prevent unnecessary damage.

When performed carefully, damage is minimal. Our stylists use gentle techniques and detangling products to reduce breakage. If previous braiding caused tension, we’ll recommend treatments and a recovery plan to restore strength and moisture.

No need to wash right before—washing can tangle installed hair. We prefer clean scalps but will assess and shampoo as part of the take down if necessary, ensuring safe removal and proper cleansing.

Arrive with a light braid-free hairline if possible and avoid heavy oils or products that can make removal slippery. Bring photos of prior styles and note any areas of sensitivity for our stylist.

Yes—often we can reinstall new crochet extensions the same day if your natural hair and scalp are healthy. We’ll assess readiness and may recommend deep conditioning or a short rest period before reinstallation.

Pricing varies by braid complexity and time required. Our team provides an upfront estimate during booking or consultation; final cost reflects removal time, treatments, and any restorative services requested.
