Get answers to common questions about Box Braids Medium.

With good maintenance, Box Braids Medium typically last six to ten weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, installation technique, and how often you cleanse and moisturize the scalp.

Installation time varies by density and braid count but generally takes four to eight hours. Book extra time for styling or if you want specific parting patterns or added extensions.

Yes. Use a diluted shampoo or co-wash, gently massage the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely to prevent mildew. Focus on the scalp and avoid rough manipulation of the braids.

Properly installed medium braids are safe for natural hair. To avoid damage, request gentle tension, avoid overly tight styles, and give your hair regular breaks between installations.

We recommend at least three to four inches of natural hair for secure braiding without extensions. Shorter hair can be braided using extensions; consult your stylist for the best approach.

Daily care: lightly oil the scalp, avoid heavy products, and limit manipulation. Overnight: wrap with a satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce frizz and preserve neatness.
