Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 20" (Mid-back length).
Expect approximately 5–7 hours depending on hair density and stylist speed. Small 20's detailed parting and thin braids take longer than larger sizes — plan your appointment accordingly and arrive with clean, detangled hair for efficiency.
This specific service is for own hair only; we do not incorporate synthetic or added hair. If you want extra length or fullness with extensions, request a custom box braid appointment so we can advise on best technique and price.
Wash every 2–3 weeks using a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, gently massaging the scalp and rinsing thoroughly. Dry completely to avoid mildew, apply light oil to the scalp and braid spray for moisture, and sleep with a satin bonnet to reduce frizz.
With proper care, wear 6–8 weeks safely; leaving them longer increases matting and breakage risk. Schedule a touch-up or removal at recommended intervals to protect edges and maintain scalp health. Book maintenance if you experience excessive itching or buildup.
When installed correctly, tension should be minimal. Because Small 20 braids are numerous and longer, they may feel heavier; our stylists monitor tightness and can adjust parting or braid tension. Speak up if you feel discomfort to prevent edge damage.
You'll begin with a consultation and hair assessment, followed by washing and detangling if needed. The stylist will part and install small braids meticulously; expect several hours. We finish with scalp treatment and styling advice. Bring snacks and plan accordingly.
