The time depends on the style, length, and thickness of your hair:
- Micro Braids – 5 to 8 hours
- Knotless Box Braids – 3 to 6 hours
- Cornrow Twist – 1.5 to 3 hours
- Boho Braids – 3 to 5 hours
- Jumbo Braids – 2 to 4 hours
Our experienced stylists work quickly without sacrificing quality. If you're on a tight schedule, let us know. We’ll advise on the best hair braiding styles for women or men that fit your timeframe.
When properly cared for, most styles will last:
- Box Braids & Knotless Braids – Up to 6–8 weeks
- Senegalese Twists & Kinky Twists – 5–7 weeks
- Cornrows & Flat Twists – 2–4 weeks
We recommend a touch-up around weeks 3–4 to keep the edges neat and fresh. When maintained well, protective styles like these help retain length and protect natural hair.
Short natural hair is absolutely braidable! We work with all hair lengths. Great options for shorter hair include cornrow styles, flat twists, Senegalese twists with added extensions, kinky twists, and knotless braids. Extensions allow us to add length and volume regardless of how short your natural hair is. During your consultation, our braiders will assess your hair and recommend the best style that works with your length and texture.
