Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Small 12" (Shoulder length).
Small 12 (Shoulder length) braids typically last six to eight weeks with proper care. Regular cleansing, nightly scalp moisturizing, and a tidy-up at four to six weeks help prevent frizz and extend wear.
When installed with appropriate tension by experienced stylists, Small 12 braids are protective. Avoid overly tight parts, give your hair periodic breaks between installs, and maintain proper scalp hydration to minimize risk of damage.
Wash and deep-condition 24 to 48 hours before your appointment, detangle thoroughly, and arrive with clean, dry hair. Avoid heavy oils or product buildup so extensions sit smoothly and bonding is optimal.
Installation generally takes about three to six hours depending on hair density, braid size, and styling details. Small 12 braids are finer and can take longer, so plan a relaxed time slot for your session.
Gently cleanse scalp and braids every 10 to 14 days with diluted shampoo, pat dry, and apply a light oil to the scalp. Sleep on satin, avoid excessive pulling, and schedule maintenance if loosening occurs.
You can swim and exercise with Small 12 braids, but rinse salt or chlorine promptly and use a leave-in conditioner afterwards. Wear a swim cap when possible and ensure braids dry fully to prevent mildew and frizz.
