· Do
braids break off hair?
Any
technique performed poorly will
damage hair, including chemical
services. The condition of your
natural hair is also a factor in
whether your hair is strong
enough to be braided. We
specialize in natural hair
techniques designed to keep hair
healthy and strong.

· How
long do hair extensions last?
It
depends on how fast your own
hair grows as well as the method
you choose. Generally the length
of time is Two to Six months
depending on the extension
method. If you follow the
instructions, it should last
you at least a minimum of 3
months. It can last up to
6months depending on two
factors: (1) How well you take
care of it and have maintenance
done on it . (2) How fast your
hair grows.

· I've
removed my extensions and I've
noticed breakage. After I comb
and brush my hair, I notice that
when I shampoo there are signs
of residue still present. What
do I do?
There is dead and matted hair
trapped inside of each section
where a braid was present, which
causes breakage when you try to
comb through it. To prevent
this, use a detangling spray
several days in advance to start
breaking down the buildup on the
hair. When trying to comb
through your hair, make sure you
hold the hair at the root, then
gently and gradually comb
through it starting at the ends
first.

· My
hair was braided too tightly,
and it's turning red at the
root. I'm beginning to notice
small pimples. How can this be
prevented?
Apply small amounts of aloe vera
to the inflamed area. This
should help.

· It
has been two months since I've
been wearing a sew in weave, and
I'm beginning to notice that my
hair is thinning. Why is this
happening?
Changing the position at which
the weave was sew in will help
to minimize breakage and
thinning. It is also important
to use proper removal
techniques. You want to let your
hair breathe; this can be done
by wearing your natural hair in
between new styles.
