With proper maintenance, Professional Box Braids typically look fresh for 6–8 weeks. Gentle cleansing, nightly edge protection, and minimal tension help extend wear and preserve your natural hair. Touch-ups may be recommended for neatness and longevity.

When installed with attention to tension and proper technique, box braids are protective. We assess hair health and recommend sizes and installation methods that minimize stress to roots, reducing breakage risk and supporting healthy growth.
