Get answers to common questions about Crochet Braids.

With proper installation and consistent care, Crochet Braids typically last 6 to 8 weeks. Some clients extend wear to 10–12 weeks, but we recommend a refresh by eight weeks to prevent matting and protect natural hair integrity.

When installed and removed by a trained stylist with proper tension management, Crochet Braids are protective. Damage usually results from tight tension, neglect, or leaving styles in too long, so follow aftercare and schedule timely maintenance.

Wash scalp every 1–2 weeks using a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, gently cleanse the roots, rinse thoroughly, and apply a lightweight leave-in moisturizer. Dry completely to avoid mildew and use satin at night to reduce friction.

You can swim and exercise with Crochet Braids, but protect hair with a snug swim cap and rinse chlorine or saltwater promptly. Rehydrate the hair and scalp after activities to prevent dryness and tangling.

Installation time varies by length and density but generally takes 1.5 to 3 hours. Simpler or shorter styles are quicker; we recommend a consultation so we can give a precise time estimate based on your chosen look.
