Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro Braids.

Installation time usually ranges from four to ten hours, depending on hair length, density, braid size, and stylist technique. We include a consultation and short breaks; please schedule accordingly so your stylist can create consistent, high-quality micro braids with comfort.

When installed with gentle tension and proper technique, Micro Braids should not cause significant damage. Avoid overly tight braiding, follow maintenance guidelines, and book professional touch-ups to minimize breakage and protect hair integrity over time.

Most clients wear Micro Braids for six to ten weeks before a refresh or removal, depending on growth and maintenance. Regular cleansing and light moisturizing prolong appearance; schedule a follow-up to assess tension and overall hair health.

Yes, you can swim and exercise with Micro Braids, but take precautions. Rinse hair after swimming, avoid prolonged chlorine or salt exposure, wear a swim cap, and keep braids moisturized to prevent dryness and reduce frizz.

Wash gently every one to two weeks using diluted sulfate-free shampoo. Focus on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, blot dry, and apply lightweight leave-in conditioner or braid spray. Sleep with a silk scarf to protect edges and preserve style longer.

Coloring installed Micro Braids is limited; we recommend either pre-colored hair or colored extensions. Avoid chemical dyes on braided sections. Consult with our stylists to plan safe coloring or extension additions for tone, length, or volume without compromising hair health.
