At my place, all African braiding styles are catered for. These include traditional styles, such as cornrows, box braids, and Fulani braids. Every style is made according to the client’s preference and hair type.
It depends on the complexity and type of style a person is looking for. Simpler styles like cornrows might take 1-3 hours, whereas intricate styles like box braids may take 4-8 hours.
Yes, braids are fashionable. Braiding reduces breakage and thus allows your hair to grow long and healthy. However, proper scalp and hair care must be executed in the process.
To benefit fully from this treatment, I would counsel you to come for your appointment with clean hair that’s washed, conditioned, and free of products. Detangling your hair very well will allow smooth braiding with minimal discomfort.
I’ll advise covering your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf-this will prevent frizz and breakage. Maintain the scalp by applying light oil or braid spray often. Only wash the braids when it’s really necessary to keep them neat.
I strictly believe that the best results come from the best products. This is why I very carefully select premium-quality products that enhance the health of your hair while presenting you with exceptional braiding outcomes.
I know it may not feel too good getting your hair braided sometimes. For this reason, I take it upon myself to be as gentle as possible during the braiding process. A gentle touch minimizes all discomfort and makes it much more relaxing.
