With correct installation and maintenance, micro tree braids can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, scalp care, and activities; touch-ups and careful sleeping routines extend wear while preventing frizz and slippage.

When installed by trained braiders and not overly tight, micro tree braids are protective. Avoid excessive tension, keep scalp moisturized, and remove braids promptly if discomfort occurs. Proper care minimizes breakage and supports healthy hair growth.

Installation time varies by hair density and braid size, typically taking between four and eight hours. Larger heads or extra-small micro braids can extend the appointment. We schedule accordingly to ensure comfort and detailed, neat work.

Yes, but take precautions: wet braids immediately rinse chlorine or salt, apply leave-in conditioner, and tie hair up to reduce tangling. Frequent wetting shortens longevity; rinse and thoroughly dry to prevent mildew and scalp irritation.
