Question # |
Question |
Answer |

Do I need to wash my hair before arriving? |
For the Basic Braid-Down, please arrive with clean, dry hair. If you prefer us to wash and prep your hair, select one of our Shampoo or Hydration packages! |

Yes! We customize our braid patterns for short or fine textures and can add a protective weaving net for additional security. |

Will the braid-down hurt or pull my edges? |
No! Our specialists specialize in low-tension braiding techniques designed specifically to protect natural edges and prevent traction alopecia. |
|

How flat will my braid-down be? |
Extremely flat! We tailor the direction and density of the braids to ensure your wig or sew-in sits completely flush against your scalp. |
