Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro Braids.

How long does Micro Braids take to install at the salon?

Installation time varies with hair length and density, typically between four and eight hours. Our stylists work efficiently to ensure clean parting and secure braids. We recommend scheduling a consultation to get a precise time estimate based on your hair and desired style.

Will Micro Braids damage my natural hair over time if cared for properly?

Micro braids are low-tension when installed correctly and can protect hair length. To avoid damage, keep scalp moisturized, avoid heavy extensions, and remove braids gently. Our stylists assess your hair and recommend safe options to minimize stress and maintain healthy growth.

How long do Micro Braids typically last before removal with regular upkeep?

With proper care, micro braids commonly last six to eight weeks. Scalp buildup, new growth, and styling can influence longevity. We offer maintenance appointments to refresh and advise on care routines that extend wear without compromising hair integrity.

Can I add color or highlights to Micro Braids safely?

Coloring micro braids requires planning. We can add temporary colored hair or pre-colored extensions safely. Dyeing natural hair before installation is recommended rather than after. Consult our stylists to choose color methods that preserve braid integrity and minimize chemical stress.

What is the best aftercare routine for Micro Braids for longevity and scalp health?

Keep scalp clean with gentle, diluted shampoo and focus on moisturizing with light oils or leave-in sprays. Sleep on a satin pillowcase, avoid heavy products, and schedule touch-ups as needed. Follow stylist guidance for washing frequency and product recommendations tailored to your hair.

Can I swim or exercise with Micro Braids installed and how should I protect them?

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but protect braids from chlorine and saltwater by wetting with clean water and applying a protective oil or leave-in conditioner. Rinse and cleanse afterward, and wear a swim cap or tie hair up to reduce frizz and tangling.
