Installation typically takes 6–10 hours depending on hair density, braid size, and added extensions. Expect a comfortable, steady process with breaks; we schedule sufficient time to ensure neat parting, uniform small braids, and secure long-length results.

When installed correctly and maintained, small box braids are protective. Avoid excess tension, heavy extensions, and keep scalp moisturized. Regular touch-ups and not keeping them beyond recommended time reduce breakage and preserve hair health.

We recommend keeping braids for 6–8 weeks; with careful care they can last up to 10 weeks. Leaving them longer increases risk of matting, shedding, and breakage — schedule maintenance and gentle cleansing to extend wear safely.

Maintain scalp cleanliness with diluted shampoo or dry-cleanse weekly, moisturize edges and braids with light leave-in or oil spray, sleep on a satin pillowcase or bonnet, and avoid heavy products or excessive manipulation to preserve longevity.

Yes — you can swim and exercise, but take precautions. Wear a swim cap or style braids up to prevent tangling, rinse and dry thoroughly after water exposure, and moisturize. Chlorine or salt can dry extensions; use a protective rinse immediately after swimming.

Pricing varies by density, length, hair type, and added custom colors. Expect a starting range of $350–$700 depending on materials and stylist time. We provide exact quotes during consultation reflecting small parting complexity and extension quality.
