Typical wear ranges six to eight weeks with proper care; lighter touch-ups extend longevity. For healthiest results, plan removal or redo by eight weeks to prevent tension, shedding, and matting.

Yes — I provide premium Havana hair for every Crochet Braids service. That ensures consistent texture, color options, and reduced appointment prep time so you don’t need to source extensions yourself.

Absolutely. Crochet Braids create a protective barrier that minimizes daily manipulation and heat exposure. With proper installation and maintenance, they help retain length and strengthen natural hair by reducing breakage and friction.

Installation times vary by size and scalp pattern; expect two to four hours for Havana crochet braids. A consultation helps estimate exact time based on parting style, braid thickness, and desired length.

Keep scalp moisturized, sleep on a satin pillowcase or bonnet, and refresh edges with light oil or mousse. Avoid heavy products and excessive manipulation to maintain shape and prolong wear for healthier natural hair.

You can swim and exercise, but protect your crochet braids by wearing a swim cap or rinsing and conditioning afterward. Chlorine and salt can dry extensions; regular deep-conditioning keeps hair soft and manageable.
