Get answers to common questions about Crochet.

Typical crochet installs take between one and three hours depending on style complexity, hair density, and size of the braid base. Bring your own hair, as extensions are not included; we can recommend or source hair for an additional charge.

Crochet itself is gentle, but improper installation or excessive tension can cause breakage and irritation. We use proper cornrow bases and tension techniques to protect your hair. Communicate any discomfort and schedule regular maintenance to keep hair healthy.

Wash your scalp and the braid base every one to two weeks with diluted shampoo and focus on moisturizing the hair and scalp. Use lightweight oils and avoid heavy products that can weigh down extensions or cause buildup.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap, rinse and gently dry extensions after swimming, and secure hair during workouts. Chlorine and saltwater can dry synthetic or human hair, so deep condition or treat hair after exposure to maintain softness.

With good maintenance, crochet styles can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, activity level, and care routine. Schedule touch-ups for frizz and base tightening, and remove the style promptly if you notice shedding or scalp irritation.

Hair is not included in the service; clients should bring pre-stretched or prepped hair. We can recommend brands and types, and offer sourcing for an additional fee. Arrive with hair clean and tangle-free to ensure a smooth, efficient installation.
