Do you wash hair before braiding?
Yes. Hair washing is available. Let us know when you book so we can plan enough time for your appointment.
How long do braids last?
Most braided protective styles last about 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the style and how you care for it. We recommend not keeping braids in much longer than that, so your natural hair and scalp stay healthy.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Come with your hair detangled and free of heavy product, or book a wash with your appointment. Bring a reference photo if you have one, and tell us about any scalp sensitivity so we can adjust the tension.
How do I care for my braids?
Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, keep your scalp lightly moisturized, and avoid pulling braids into very tight ponytails. If anything feels painful or too tight, contact us right away.
