Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about XL Box Braids.

Cleanse your scalp every one to two weeks using diluted sulfate-free shampoo or dry shampoo, followed by light conditioning applied to braid roots. Pat dry, air dry fully, and apply light oils to the scalp. Sleep on satin and avoid heavy product buildup.
They can be, but require a careful consultation. We recommend larger, lighter braids with gentle tension or alternative styles to protect fragile hair. Avoid heavy extensions and schedule shorter wear times to reduce stress on thinning edges.
