Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro Braid (Added Hair).

Micro braids with added hair typically last 6-8 weeks with proper care. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, braid size, and maintenance. Regular moisturizing, careful sleeping habits, and professional touch-ups extend wear and keep roots tidy.

When installed properly by a trained stylist, micro braids are low-risk. Excessive tension or improper technique can cause breakage or traction. We use gentle parting, appropriate tension, and monitor hair integrity to minimize damage and promote healthy growth.

We recommend professional removal to avoid breakage. Your stylist will gently unravel braids, remove added hair, and detangle in sections. If removing at home, go slowly, use conditioner for slip, and follow with a deep conditioning treatment to restore moisture.
