Get answers to common questions about Crochet Braids.

When installed and maintained properly, Crochet Braids last about six to eight weeks. You should refresh edges, moisturize scalp weekly, and address any loose pieces. Leaving them beyond recommended time can cause tangling, matting, or stress on natural hair.

Crochet Braids are low-tension and protective when installed correctly. Damage usually results from overly tight braids, prolonged wear without maintenance, or improper removal. Our stylists ensure gentle technique and provide aftercare tips to minimize breakage and maintain scalp health.

Installation time varies with hair length, braid pattern, and extension volume. Expect two to four hours for most styles. Consult with your stylist for precise timing; we schedule appointments to ensure comfortable, unrushed installs and optimal results.

Crochet Braids work well for most curl patterns and hair densities because cornrows provide a secure base. Fine, damaged, or extremely thin hair can still benefit with gentle technique and customized braiding patterns to minimize tension and ensure a safe install.

Moisturize your scalp and braids lightly every few days, sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, and cleanse the scalp biweekly with a diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser. Avoid excessive heat and heavy products that can weigh extensions down.

You can exercise and style them regularly, but rinse and dry extensions after swimming to prevent chlorine or salt damage. Use protective products, avoid prolonged soaking, and tie hair up during intense workouts. Follow salon care recommendations to maintain longevity and appearance.
