Typically, Small Knotless Braids last about six to eight weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and braid size. With gentle care—regular cleansing, satin wraps, and avoiding heavy products—you can preserve neatness and protect your natural hair for the full wear period.

Installation time varies by hair length, density, and desired size. Small Knotless Braids generally take four to eight hours due to their fine, detailed parts and careful feed-in technique. We recommend bringing snacks and scheduling accordingly for comfortable, high-quality results.

Yes—cleaning is important. Use diluted shampoo or co-wash applied gently at the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry or blow-dry on low. Wash every one to two weeks, focus on the scalp, and avoid vigorous scrubbing to preserve braid integrity and prevent frizz.
