With proper care, expect four to eight weeks of neat wear. Hair growth, daily styling, and scalp tension affect longevity. We recommend a six-week check or reinstallation to refresh edges, reshape the half-up, and protect your natural hair.

Yes. You can gently cleanse the scalp every one to two weeks using a diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser applied with an applicator or cotton pad. Avoid saturating the braids; rinse gently, towel-pat, and air-dry thoroughly to prevent mildew.

When installed with mindful tension, this protective style can minimize daily manipulation and support growth. Damage occurs with excessive tightness, heavy extensions, or leaving it too long. Our stylists ensure safe tension, recommend moisturizing routines, and advise timely removal to protect your natural hair.

Typical appointments range from two to four hours depending on braid size, hair length, and whether custom parting or coloring is requested. We allow extra time for detailed feed-in work to ensure natural-looking roots and comfortable tension throughout the style.

Absolutely. We offer colored and blended extensions to create dimension or balayage effects in your half-up style. Please inform us before booking so we can source matching hair. Additional cost and slight extra time may apply for custom color blending.

Wrap nightly with a silk or satin scarf, moisturize scalp and braid lengths with light water-based products, avoid heavy oils at the roots, and cleanse gently every one to two weeks. Schedule touch-ups if edges loosen to maintain the half-up shape and health.
