Properly installed box braids can last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, braid size, and care routine. Regular scalp care, sleep protection, and gentle handling extend longevity; we recommend a touch-up or removal at eight weeks to avoid matting and excess tension.
When applied with proper tension and lighter hair, box braids are safe. Our stylists prioritize gentle installation and protective parting to reduce stress on edges. If you have fragile edges, discuss smaller sections, lighter extensions, or alternative styles to preserve hairline health.
Installation time depends on braid size, length, and whether extensions are added. Expect two to eight hours: larger, shoulder-length styles on the shorter end; small, waist-length braids can take longer. We provide time estimates during booking so you can plan accordingly.
Yes — you can wash and exercise with box braids. Use a diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser, focus on the scalp, and thoroughly dry braids to prevent mildew. Wear a sweat-wicking headband during workouts and gently pat braids dry afterward.
Box braids work on most hair textures—natural, relaxed, or transitioning—when hair is healthy enough to hold a part. Shorter hair may need added extensions for length; talk with our stylist about ideal section sizes and extension choices for a comfortable, lasting result.
Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle your hair 24–48 hours before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or leave-in products that can make hair slippery. Bring inspiration photos and any preferred extension hair; our team will assess porosity and recommend the best approach.
