Get answers to common questions about Micro Braids.

Installation time varies based on hair length, density, and braid size. Expect anywhere from 4 to 8 hours at our salon. We schedule accordingly and provide breaks for comfort—consultation helps estimate a precise time for your service.

When installed and maintained properly, micro braids can protect hair. Avoid overly tight braiding, keep the scalp moisturized, and follow removal guidelines. Our stylists prioritize gentle techniques and recommend sizes and care to minimize stress and prevent breakage.

Maintain clean, moisturized hair by washing every one to two weeks with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. Apply lightweight oil or braid spray to the scalp, sleep with a satin scarf, and avoid heavy products that cause buildup.

With proper care, micro braids can last six to ten weeks depending on hair growth, braid size, and maintenance. Front touch-ups can extend wear, but scheduled removal prevents matting and excessive tension on your natural hair.

Styling into updos and gentle heat is fine, but avoid heavy chemicals and frequent heat that can stress braids and natural hair. Coloring is best done before installation; consult our stylists for safe color options if needed while braided.

Micro braids adapt to many textures and ages, but consultation is essential. Very fine or fragile hair may require larger braids or alternative protective styles. Our stylists assess hair health and customize braid size for the best, safest outcome.
