Ask if the quote includes product costs or just labor. Prices vary based on hair length, density, and style complexity. Extensions like boho or human hair cost extra. Get a written estimate covering all fees. Confirm cancellation policies. Surprise charges often appear when artificial extensions exceed standard lengths available in the studio.
Ask for a list of recommended leave-in creams and sprays. Avoid heavy butters that mat synthetic extensions. Water-based sprays keep styles fresh without residue buildup. Check product expiration dates. Using expired styling products can dry out hair and cause brittle breakage along the braid lines.
Show any dandruff or psoriasis. Inflammatory conditions complicate braiding. The braid-er needs to see red patches. Damaged barriers trap breakouts. Ask about sterile tools. Tongs and combs must be clean. Infection risk rises with dirty instruments. Check for disposable gowns. Hygiene prevents folliculitis. Inflamed hair roots cannot heal. Skipping this step causes long-term damage to your skin barrier.
Pain indicates too much pull. Mild tightness is normal. Sharp pain means trouble. Stop if you feel stinging. Damaged follicles shed hair. Thin skin tears. Ask the braid-er to loosen. Yanking causes bald patches. Scalp sensitivity varies. Tell them your limits. Aggressive pulling is unsafe. Chronic tension leads to traction alopecia. This hair loss is permanent. Monitor your scalp daily for irritation during the first 24 hours.
Wash and condition hair 48 hours before the appointment. This allows moisture to settle without making hair slippery during weaving. Do not blow-dry. Let hair air dry fully. Damp hair stretches incorrectly, leading to braid failure within days. Smooth cuticles prevent frizz and ensure cleaner, longer-lasting results.
Itching usually signals product buildup or fungal growth. Use an apple cider vinegar rinse weekly to balance pH. Flip hair to let roots breathe while sleeping. Knots form when braids pull on each other. Smooth edges daily with light gel to prevent friction knots forming at the nape and temples.
Measure the braid width. Thin braids are fragile. Thick braids take longer to install. A standard medium braid is roughly the width of a pencil lead. Smaller sections create more tension points. Larger sections move more. Ask for precise measurements. Thicker braids often look fuller but can feel heavier on the head during sleep.
Wash braids every 2 to 3 weeks. Frequent washing weakens hold. Dilute shampoo with water. Concentrated lye damages braid fibers. Focus on the roots. Rinse thoroughly. Residue attracts dirt. Dry immediately after washing. Damp braids smell stale. Timing matters. Do not get them wet before sleep. Wet braids take hours to air dry. Patience ensures a clean scalp without compromising the structure
Ask for 10 recent portfolio images showing varied hair textures. Look for close-up shots of knot tension and bead placement. Avoid blur or stock imagery. A valid style must show clear definition on all hair lengths. Request before-and-after pairs to judge skill consistency across different head sizes and densities.
Simple cornice-row braids take 2 to 4 hours. Complex knotless styles require 6 to 8 hours. Complex extensions add time for weaving. Ask how long the session will last beforehand. Book extra time if you need photography or detailed styling. Rushed work leads to uneven tension and premature unraveling.
