Get answers to common questions about Medium Knotless Braids.

Most clients enjoy clean, fresh results for about 4-6 weeks. Depending on hair growth, care, and activity level, braids can sometimes last up to eight weeks. We recommend scheduling a maintenance appointment around that timeframe to refresh edges and manage buildup.

Knotless braids use a feed-in technique that reduces root tension compared to traditional box braids, making them gentler on edges. However, overly tight installs or excessive weight can still cause stress, so communicate desired tension and follow aftercare instructions.

Installation time varies by hair density and chosen length but generally takes four to eight hours. Butt-length or very thick hair may require extra time. Please note longer sessions may require our 7:00am appointment slot to accommodate the work.

Yes. Use a diluted clarifying shampoo focused on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely to prevent mildew. Between washes use a dry-cleanse spray or light scalp oil. Avoid saturating braids with heavy conditioners that can cause buildup.
