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.
Ask where the synthetic hair comes from. Human hair feels natural. Synthetic fibers hold shape better. Kanekalon is common. Nylon is cheap. Cheap hair tangles quickly. Check the label. Ions technology reduces static. Static causes frizz. Ask about durability. Human hair needs conditioning. Synthetic hair cannot absorb oil. The material choice dictates your daily care routine and long-term cost.
Inquire about specific techniques like box braids or feed-in braids. Each pattern requires different tools. Box braids use pre-sectored sections. Feed-ins start thin and add hair gradually. The choice affects longevity. Flat braids lie close to the scalp. Twists hold differently than braids. Ask which style suits your maintenance routine.
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.
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.
Request a list of shampoos and oils. Sodium-free formulas prevent dryness. Silicones can clog follicles. Ask about alcohol content. Alcohol slows drying but strips moisture. Look for lightweight oils. Coconut oil is heavy. Argan oil is lighter. The wrong product causes buildup. Buildup leads to odor. Ensure the braid-er recommends safe cleansers.
Examine synthetic fiber samples closely. Cheap blends feel rough and tangle easily. High-quality synthetic fibers mimic natural sheen and movement. If using human extensions, check for shedding loose strands. Knots should be secure but removable without cutting natural hair. Inspect attachments for fraying ends before installation.
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.
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.
Weak roots need protective caps during heavy weaving. Ask the professional to use a silicone cap under dense extensions. This prevents direct pressure on fragile hairlines. Thin scalp areas require extra caution. Padding distributes weight evenly, reducing stress on individual follicles significantly.
