Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle your hair at least 24 hours before the appointment. Avoid heavy oils, arrive dry with a clean scalp, and bring reference photos to help the stylist achieve your desired look.

With proper maintenance—regular scalp care, nightly protection, and avoiding excessive tension—medium braids can look great for six to ten weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth and lifestyle; we recommend periodic touch-ups.

Use gentle, sulfate-free cleansers and a lightweight leave-in to keep braids clean and moisturized. Apply a braid spray and light natural oil to the scalp, and always sleep with a satin cap or pillowcase to reduce frizz.
