Ask for specific washing instructions. Most protective styles require gentle cleansing every 7 to 10 days. Use a diluted clarifying shampoo to remove build-up at the roots. Avoid heavy oils that clog follicles. Bring a wide-tooth comb, microfiber towel, and edge control gel for daily styling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Removal takes longer than installation. Ask how they untangle delicate sections. Avoid aggressive combing, which snaps heated or fragile strands. Schedule a full washout immediately after removal. Do not sleep on wet hair. Condition immediately to restore moisture lost during the wearing period.
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.
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.
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.
