Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Medium 16" (Armpit length).
Installation times vary by hair density and braid size, but expect most appointments to take between three and six hours. We schedule accordingly and aim for comfort with breaks as needed.
Weekly care includes gentle scalp cleansing, light moisturizing of the braids and scalp, and wearing a silk scarf or bonnet at night. Avoid heavy oils and excessive tension to extend wear.
You can swim, but rinse hair thoroughly after exposure to chlorine or salt. Wear a swim cap when possible, gently dry the braids, and apply a light leave-in moisturizer to prevent dryness.
Weight depends on braid thickness and added hair. Our stylists customize size and amount to balance fullness with comfort, minimizing tension and reducing risk of scalp discomfort.
With proper care, armpit-length box braids typically last six to eight weeks. Some clients extend wear to ten weeks with careful maintenance and occasional touch-ups at the edges.
Improper installation or overly tight braids can cause breakage and tension. Professional installation, appropriate braid size, and careful removal greatly reduce damage risk and support healthy hair retention.
