With proper care, Lemonade Braids typically last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance, and daily care. Use satin protection, avoid heavy oils, and schedule touch-ups when parts loosen to keep the style neat and scalp healthy.

Properly installed feed-in Lemonade Braids minimize tension by adding hair gradually, protecting edges. Damage often results from overly tight braids, incorrect technique, or neglect. Our stylists evaluate hair health, adjust tension, and recommend aftercare to prevent breakage and maintain strong edges.

Yes — you can wash hair with Lemonade Braids. Use diluted shampoo, focus on the scalp with gentle massaging, rinse thoroughly, and blot dry with a microfiber towel. Air-dry completely and sleep with a satin scarf to protect the braids and reduce frizz.

Appointment time varies by braid size and hair length. Expect two to five hours for full installation, including consultation, parting, and styling. Smaller or partial styles may take less time; we’ll provide a precise estimate during your booking based on your chosen size and hair texture.

Sleep on a satin scarf or bonnet to preserve Lemonade Braids; silk pillowcases also work. Gently gather braids in a loose ponytail or bun to prevent tension on edges. Avoid heavy products at night and rewrap any frayed sections in the morning.
