With proper maintenance, Boho Box Braids can last four to eight weeks. Lifespan depends on hair growth rate, braid size, and maintenance routine. Regular scalp cleansing, nightly wrapping, and avoiding heavy styling will prolong the look and prevent premature frizz or loosening.

When installed and removed correctly, Boho Box Braids protect natural hair. Avoid overly tight braiding, excessive manipulation, and prolonged wear beyond recommended time to minimize breakage. Our stylists use gentle tension and professional techniques to safeguard your hair's health.

Maintain braids by cleansing the scalp every one to two weeks with diluted shampoo, moisturizing with light oils, and wrapping hair nightly. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup and limit tugging. Schedule touch-ups for edges to keep the style neat and long-lasting.

You can exercise and swim with Boho Box Braids, but rinse and dry hair promptly after swimming to prevent odor and buildup. Wear a swim cap or braid cover, and gently dry braids to avoid mildew. Reapply lightweight moisture afterward.

Installation time varies with braid size and hair length; typically expect three to six hours. Smaller or more intricate braids take longer. Our team provides a time estimate during booking and strives for efficient, high-quality results without compromising comfort.

You can style braids using updos, buns, or accessories without issue. Coloring synthetic braids is not recommended, but pre-colored hair or temporary hair chalk works. For safety and best results, consult your stylist about adding color or altering braids.
