FAQs
How long does Extra Small Layered Box Braid last?
4 to 6 weeks, and up to 8 weeks with good aftercare.
How long do extra small box braids take?
About 7.5 hours, plus 1.5 hours for waist or hip length.
Are box braids or knotless braids better for my hair?
Knotless braids start with your own hair, so there is less tension at the root. Box braids start with braiding hair from the root. Ultimately, it is the stylist’s job to control tension.
