Get answers to common questions about Crochet Braids.

With proper care, Crochet Braids can last six to eight weeks before maintenance. Some clients refresh earlier. Regular gentle cleansing and light moisturizing extend wear and protect your natural hair; remove and rebuild after recommended time to prevent matting and buildup.

When installed too tightly or left too long, damage can occur. Our stylists braid with care and recommend gentle tension, regular scalp care, and correct removal. Follow aftercare instructions and schedule timely maintenance to minimize breakage and preserve hair health.

Dilute shampoo, gently cleanse scalp between braids, and rinse thoroughly. Apply lightweight leave-in conditioner and seal with oil sparingly. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup. Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet and refresh braids lightly to maintain shape.

Yes, but protect braids from chlorine and saltwater which dry hair and cause tangling. Wear a swim cap or rinse promptly with fresh water and a conditioner. After exercise, gently cleanse the scalp and air-dry to avoid mildew or odor.

Installation time varies by hair density, length, and style complexity. On average expect two to four hours for standard boho crochet installs. Detailed textures or custom color blends may add time; consult your stylist for a personalized estimate at booking.

Synthetic braid hair may not tolerate heat or chemical dyes; heat can melt fibers. Human hair extensions allow heat styling and colouring but require professional handling. Discuss material and desired changes with your stylist to choose safe techniques and preserve longevity.
