Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 16" (Armpit length).
Installation typically takes 4–7 hours depending on hair density and desired parting precision. Expect longer times for very thick hair or extra-fine sections; your stylist will provide a clearer estimate during consultation.
Wash and thoroughly detangle hair 24-48 hours before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or conditioners that weigh the hair down. Bring reference photos and communicate parting preferences to ensure the desired density and style.
Sleep on a satin pillowcase or use a silk bonnet, moisturize scalp weekly, and avoid excessive manipulation. Cleanse gently with diluted shampoo and dry thoroughly to prevent odor or mildew under the braids.
This service is for own hair only; extensions are not included. For added length or thickness we offer separate extension services—book a consultation to discuss options and pricing tailored to your needs.
Refresh or tighten every 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth and neatness preference. Early maintenance prevents loosening and protects edges; regular conditioning and gentle care between visits helps preserve shape and reduces the need for full reinstallations.
Small box braids work best on medium to coarse hair that holds braided texture. Very fine or slippery hair may need added grip or a consultation; we assess strand strength during booking to ensure lasting, healthy results.
