Get answers to common questions about Feed-In Braids.
Most installs take between 2.5 to 5 hours depending on braid size, hair length, and desired density. A consultation helps estimate time; complex patterns or added extensions may extend the appointment. We always aim for precision over speed.
When applied correctly, feed-in braids minimize tension at the roots by gradually adding extensions. Proper installation and maintenance protect edges, but avoid if hairline is already severely weakened. Regular moisturizing and gentle styling prolong health and reduce breakage risk.
We recommend full reinstallation every 6–8 weeks to prevent tangling and ensure neatness. Light maintenance or edge touch-ups can be done at 2–4 week intervals. Follow-at-home care extends longevity and keeps braids looking fresh between appointments.
Yes — you can wash and style with care. Use a gentle, diluted shampoo at the scalp, condition lightly, and dry thoroughly to prevent mildew. Use leave-in treatments sparingly and protect hair at night with a silk scarf or bonnet.
Yes. We offer a range from micro to jumbo braid sizes. Smaller braids offer more styling versatility and longer wear but take longer to install; larger braids are faster but heavier. Your stylist will recommend the best size for your hair and lifestyle.
Wash, deep-condition, and fully detangle your hair 24–48 hours before appointment. Avoid heavy oils or styling products that can interfere with installation. If you have extension preferences bring samples or color swatches. Arrive with stretched or blow-dried hair if possible for best results.
