Human hair braiding hair: Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included (benefits, care, results)
By African Hair Braiding by Fama | July 24, 2026
In Los Angeles, we hear it all the time: you want braids that look natural, stay neat, and don’t turn into a daily project. One client put it best, “I am extremely happy with my braid style each and every time!!” Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included is our go-to when you want realistic movement and a protective style that gives you back your mornings. With good care, most people wear them about 6 to 10 weeks, and you’ll usually find your wash-and-go routine gets a whole lot simpler.
We’re in Pico-Robertson (Mid-City/Pico Boulevard corridor), and we see clients coming in from West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Hollywood, Inglewood, and Koreatown who need hair that stays camera-ready through commutes, heat, and long days.
Quick details: Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included is a 300-minute appointment at $490. Human hair is included up to 18 inches. If you want longer than 18 inches, it starts at $60+ extra. Choose curly or straight.
What “Medium Microbraid + human hair included” actually means on your head
Medium microbraids sit in that sweet spot: small enough to look detailed and natural, but not so tiny that the install becomes a marathon for your scalp. We add real human braiding hair for a soft finish and natural swing. That’s the difference you notice right away, especially when you wear your hair down.
Human hair braiding hair also blends better in real life. It moves like hair because it is hair. If you’ve worn synthetic microbraids before, you might remember that “stiffer” feel or that shiny look under bright lights. With 100 human braiding hair, the finish tends to look more like it’s growing from you, and it styles more naturally too.
A quick note on scheduling
Plan to book at least 2 days ahead for this service. It’s detailed work, and we want enough time to do it neatly, not rushed.
The benefits we see most: neat parts, real movement, and braids that hold up
Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included is designed for people who want a protective style that doesn’t look “heavy.” The braids are lightweight, and because we’re using real human hair, the finished look has that flow that makes microbraids so wearable.
1) Longevity that makes the appointment feel worth it
We’re big on styles that stand up to real life. One parent told us, “I am shocked at how good my daughter’s hair still looks after getting it braided 5 weeks ago.” That “still looks good” part usually comes down to neat installation, consistent braid size, and clean parting. When those basics are on point, your braids don’t get fuzzy on week two.
2) A protective style that supports growth habits
Protective styling is about reducing daily manipulation, especially heat. In LA sun and summer heat, a lot of people end up blow-drying more than they want just to feel “presentable.” Microbraids help you skip that cycle. And clients notice changes over time. We’ve heard, “And my hair grew from the last time I went, ” and “my hair has grown so much.” We can’t promise growth for everyone, but we do know that leaving your hair alone and keeping your scalp cared for tends to support length retention.
3) The “neat” factor that gets you compliments fast
People don’t compliment “protective styling.” They compliment neat work. We regularly hear things like “VERY NEAT AND WELL DONE!” and “I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!!” That’s the result of clean sections, consistent tension, and finishing the ends so the style looks intentional, not thrown together.
“Their braids really stand the test of time, they are also fast and dependable. I am shocked at how good my daughter’s hair still looks after getting it braided 5 weeks ago”
– one of our regulars
4) Better blend options, including 1b braiding hair
If you’re trying to match your natural shade, 1b braiding hair is one of the most requested colors because it gives a soft “off-black” look. With bulk braiding hair in human hair textures, we can get a finish that looks natural up close and doesn’t fight your styling.
Is this the right protective style for your LA schedule?
Medium microbraids are a strong fit if you want hair you can wear down, pull back, or style lightly without starting over every morning. They’re also great when you want “set it and live your life” hair for work weeks, travel, or event season.
They’re especially popular with people who tell us they “love my hair every time I leave” and want that same dependable result visit after visit. If you’re sensitive about tension, tell us up front. We’ll talk through braid size, parting, and how you like your hair to feel, not just how you want it to look.
Good to know: If you want longer than 18 inches, plan for the additional length fee. And if you have a specific look in mind, bring a photo so we can match braid size and finish.

Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included FAQs (real-life answers)
How long do Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included typically last?
Most clients wear them about 6 to 10 weeks. Longevity depends on how your scalp oils, how often you work out, and how gently you cleanse and dry your braids.
Will Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included damage my natural hair?
When microbraids are installed neatly with reasonable tension and you keep up with scalp care, they’re meant to be protective. Damage usually comes from braids that are too tight, being left in too long, or rough takedown. Let us know if you’re tender-headed so we can keep the tension comfortable.
How long does it take to install Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included?
Plan for about 300 minutes. Microbraids are detailed, and we’d rather take the time to keep your parts clean and your braid size consistent.
How do I wash and dry microbraids made with human hair?
Focus on your scalp. Use a diluted shampoo or a gentle cleanser, massage lightly between parts, then rinse well. Squeeze excess water out with a towel and give yourself time to dry fully, especially at the roots. Damp roots for hours is what tends to cause that musty smell and frizz.
How much should I expect to pay for Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included in Los Angeles?
Our Medium Microbraid Human Hair Included service is $490. Human hair is included up to 18 inches. Length over 18 inches starts at $60+, depending on what you choose.
What do you mean by “human braiding hair”?
It means we’re braiding with real human hair instead of synthetic fiber. It usually looks more natural, feels softer, and moves more like your own hair.
What is 1b braiding hair, and why do people ask for it?
1b is a natural-looking “off-black” shade. A lot of people prefer it over jet black because it blends softly with natural hair and reads more realistic in daylight.
Is “100 human braiding hair” better for microbraids?
For many people, yes. 100% human hair tends to give the most natural finish and movement, which is exactly what makes microbraids look so good when you wear them down.
What is bulk braiding hair used for?
Bulk braiding hair is hair that isn’t pre-wefted. It’s commonly used for braids and curly finishes because it blends smoothly into the braid and helps create a softer, more natural look.
