Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Hip Length - Large.
Installation time varies by hair density and desired finish, typically four to seven hours. Consultations before booking help estimate time. Color or extensions can add time; plan accordingly and arrive with clean, detangled hair to streamline the process.
Knotless technique minimizes scalp tension and reduces breakage risk compared with traditional braiding. Proper prep, experienced styling, and gentle removal are essential. We assess hair health first and recommend conditioning treatments and regular maintenance to protect your natural hair during wear.
Wash and deep-condition hair 24–48 hours before your appointment and dry thoroughly. Avoid heavy oils or silicones that add slip. Bring reference photos and any extension hair you purchased. Trimming split ends beforehand improves longevity and overall braid appearance.
Sleep on satin or silk nightly, secure braids loosely, and apply lightweight scalp oil to prevent dryness. Limit frequent styling and tight updos. Wash gently every two to three weeks and air-dry fully to avoid mildew and preserve neatness and longevity.
You can swim and exercise, but take precautions: wear a swim cap, rinse immediately after chlorine or saltwater, and apply hydrating sprays afterward. Secure braids during workouts and dry completely to prevent odor or buildup. Some extension colors may fade over time.
We strongly recommend professional removal to avoid breakage. Stylists gently unpick braids, detangle and shampoo, then apply deep conditioning and a restorative treatment. Home removal is possible but risks damage; schedule a follow-up trim and treatment to restore strength.
