Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 12" (Shoulder length).
With proper care, Small 12 shoulder-length braids usually last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, nightly protection, scalp care, and how often you manipulate the style. We provide maintenance advice and touch-up options to keep them looking fresh longer.
When installed by our trained stylists with appropriate tension, Small 12 braids are protective and gentle. Excessive tightness or prolonged wear without care can cause stress; we recommend regular scalp checks, proper cleansing, and scheduled maintenance to minimize risk.
Installation time typically ranges from three to six hours depending on hair density, braid size consistency, and whether extensions are added. We schedule according to your hair and style needs and advise arriving with clean, detangled hair to streamline the process.
Yes — extensions can be incorporated for added length, volume, or color. We use high-quality hair and matching techniques for seamless results. Extensions may affect installation time and cost; consult with your stylist during booking for options and pricing.
Maintain your braids by sleeping with a silk scarf or bonnet, cleansing the scalp every one to two weeks, applying lightweight oils to soothe the scalp, and avoiding heavy products that cause buildup. Schedule touch-ups to refresh edges as needed.
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before the first wash to allow the braids to set. Use a diluted shampoo and gentle scalp massage, rinse thoroughly, and ensure braids dry completely to prevent odor or mildew. Salon aftercare guidance is available.
