Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Installation typically takes 4–7 hours depending on hair density, braid size, and stylist speed. Book a consultation to get a precise estimate; arriving with detangled, washed hair helps streamline the process and may shorten your appointment time.
With proper care, Small 16 braids can last 6–8 weeks. Regular moisturization, nighttime protection, and gentle cleansing extend longevity. Avoid heavy styling that stresses roots and schedule maintenance if noticeable loosening or scalp irritation appears.
Generally no — at armpit length and with small individual braids weight is distributed evenly. Proper tension during installation minimizes strain. If you experience significant discomfort within the first days, contact us for an adjustment to relieve tightness.
Wash, condition, and thoroughly detangle hair before your appointment; avoid heavy oils or products that weigh hair down. Bring pictures of desired styles and discuss any scalp sensitivity or prior chemical treatments during consultation.
Yes — color may be applied before braiding and hair extensions can be blended for added length or volume. We recommend discussing options during booking so we select high-quality match hair and ensure extensions won’t compromise braid longevity.
Moisturize scalp weekly, lightly oil roots, cleanse braids every 1–2 weeks with diluted shampoo, and sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase. Avoid heavy products and tight styles; schedule touch-ups for edge maintenance to keep the style neat.
