Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Jumbo XL 12" (Shoulder length).

Installation typically takes 2–4 hours depending on hair density and desired fullness. Because these are extra-large braids, stylists can work faster than micro-braids, but expect thorough parting, sectioning, and neat finishing for a polished, long-lasting result.

Most textures work well, especially medium to coarse natural hair. Fine hair may need additional silk or added hair for grip. Our stylists assess your hair and recommend density and base preparation to ensure secure, comfortable, and flattering jumbo braids.

With proper care, jumbo shoulder-length braids can last 4–8 weeks. Longevity depends on maintenance, sleep protection, and natural hair growth. We recommend touch-ups or removal around six weeks to prevent matting and preserve scalp health.

When installed correctly at Salon Daba, extra-large braids reduce tension compared to thinner styles. We tailor braid size and tension to your comfort. If you feel persistent pain, notify your stylist immediately for adjustments or to loosen the base.

Yes. Gently wash the scalp and braids with diluted shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and condition sparingly. Pat dry and air-dry or use a low-heat diffuser. Use a satin scarf at night and avoid heavy products that can cause buildup on the braids.

Pricing varies based on braid count, added hair, and stylist experience. At Salon Daba we offer transparent quotes during consultations. Expect a higher price point than small braids due to bulk and workmanship; contact the salon for an exact estimate.
