Answer
·  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.

·  How do I care for them?

 You have a choice on how to maintain your new look. You may come to Aabies for maintenance every six-eight weeks. Maintenance involves a monthly visit in where we tighten up sections of your extensions each. We will be also able to advise you if we see an issue arising with your hair care. Maintenance is recommended in most cases but the choice is always up to you.

·  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.
