Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jumbo XL 26" (Tailbone length).

Installation typically takes 4 to 7 hours depending on hair density, extensions used, and desired curl definition. Our stylists work carefully to ensure even placement, comfortable tension, and a flawless finish; consult during booking for a more precise time estimate.

Maintain with gentle cleansing, moisturizing sprays, and nightly satin wrap or pillowcase to protect curls. Avoid heavy oils at the roots and re-tighten or touch-up braids every 4–6 weeks to prevent sagging and keep the style tidy and long-lasting.

You can swim and exercise, but protect your braids from chlorine and saltwater by wearing a swim cap and rinsing thoroughly afterward. Secure hair during workouts to minimize friction, and apply a light leave-in conditioner to maintain curl definition and reduce frizz.

When installed by skilled stylists using proper techniques and quality extensions, risk is minimal. We recommend regular scalp care, not pulling too tight, and scheduled maintenance appointments. If you have fragile hair, a consultation helps assess suitability and customize tension and parting.

With correct care, Jumbo XL 26 can last six to eight weeks before needing a refresh. Lifespan varies with hair growth rate, activity level, and maintenance routines. Schedule touch-ups earlier if you notice looseness or excessive frizz to preserve the look.

Coloring is possible only with synthetic-hair-safe methods or by coloring your natural hair beforehand; consult us first. Heat styling on synthetic extensions is not recommended. If using real human-hair extensions, low-heat tools and heat protectant are essential to maintain integrity.
