FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about braids and afro hairstyles
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Absolutely not, if two key rules are followed: proper weight distribution by the stylist during braiding and timely removal of the hairstyle (not wearing it longer than recommended). On the contrary — under synthetic hair, your natural locks get a rest from daily styling, flat irons, curling irons, and hot blow-dry air.
The wearing duration depends on the type of weave and chosen method:
- Ponytail braids / large patterns (cornrows): from 1.5 to 3 weeks.
- Classic afro braids / SE synthetic dreads / Zizi: from 1.5 to 2 months.
- Sphinx / head-wide braids: from 3 to 4 weeks.
It is not recommended to wear the hairstyle longer than indicated, because hair regrowing at the roots begins to tangle, making subsequent unbraiding difficult.
Come to your appointment with completely clean and thoroughly dried hair. Wash your hair the evening before the appointment using only shampoo (preferably deep cleansing), without masks, balms, oils, or conditioners. These products make the hair too slippery, causing braids to slide off.
For cornrow-based styles and classic braids, your natural hair length should be around 7–10 cm. The shorter the hair, the harder it is to securely cover it with kanekalon. For very short haircuts or planned dread extensions, it's best to send a photo of your hair via direct message beforehand for a consultation.
Braids and afro styles should be washed once every 7–10 days. Dilute regular shampoo with water in a 1:5 ratio, whip it into foam with a sponge, and gently apply the resulting foam exclusively to the parts (scalp). You don't need to scrub the length of the braids — the runoff water with shampoo is enough. After washing, press out excess water with a towel and let the hairstyle dry naturally.
For the first 2–3 days, you may feel a sense of scalp tension — this is a completely normal reaction to the new weight of the hairstyle. If minor itching or irritation occurs, do not scratch your skin with your nails under any circumstances. Simply wipe the parts with an alcohol-free antiseptic (e.g., Octenisept) or apply a panthenol spray. All discomfort completely disappears after a few days.
