Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Medium 8" (Ear length).
Typically 2–4 hours depending on hair density, braid size, and stylist speed. We allocate enough time for precise parting and neat braids. Arrive with clean, detangled hair to help streamline the process and ensure the best result.
When installed correctly and not overly tight, ear-length medium box braids protect strands by reducing daily manipulation. Follow aftercare, avoid heavy styles, and schedule regular scalp care. If you have fragile or thinning hair, consult our stylists for a tailored approach.
Wash every 2–3 weeks with a diluted shampoo, focusing on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly and condition mid-lengths to ends. Pat dry and avoid excessive friction. Use lightweight oils to maintain scalp health and prevent buildup between washes.
With proper care, medium ear-length box braids last 6–8 weeks before noticeable loosening. Maintain scalp hygiene and avoid heavy pulling. We recommend touch-ups around the hairline after 4–6 weeks to extend longevity and keep your style fresh.
Yes—with caution. Rinse and apply a leave-in conditioner after swimming to prevent drying. Tie braids up during high-impact workouts to reduce frizz. Chlorine and saltwater can dry hair, so cleanse and condition promptly to protect both hair and scalp.
Use a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight conditioner, and moisturizing leave-in spray. Natural oils like jojoba or grapeseed help nourish the scalp. Avoid heavy creams or buildup-prone products. Our stylists can recommend specific products tailored to your hair type.
