Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
With proper care, Small 16" (Armpit length) braids typically last six to eight weeks. Touch-ups may be needed earlier for significant new growth or loosened edges. Keep scalp clean, moisturized and avoid heavy styling to prolong wear.
When installed and removed by professionals with gentle technique, Small 16" (Armpit length) braids safeguard hair. Excessive tightness or prolonged wear may strain edges—regular moisturizing, scalp care, and timely removal minimize risk of breakage and thinning.
Installation time varies by hair density and braid size but generally takes between four and seven hours at Salon Daba. We recommend scheduling accordingly; bring a snack and allow breaks for comfort during longer sessions.
Cleanse your scalp weekly with diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser, moisturize braids with light oils or braid spray, sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, and avoid heavy products that cause buildup. Schedule touch-ups and final removal within recommended timeframes.
Yes—take precautions. Rinse and cleanse hair after swimming to remove chlorine or salt. Wear a swim cap when possible and tie braids up during workouts to reduce frizz and tension. Regular moisturizing prevents dryness from exercise and pool exposure.
Pricing depends on braid size, hair density, stylist experience and added services like color or maintenance. Small 16" (Armpit length) braids are priced to reflect time and skill; contact Salon Daba for a personalized quote and appointment estimate.
