Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Crochets with Braids/ Twist/ Fauxlocs.

With proper care, crochet styles typically last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on growth rate, maintenance, and product use. Schedule a check at four weeks and plan for removal or touch-ups before significant shedding or matting to protect your natural hair.

When installed and removed properly, crochet styles are gentle and protective. Damage occurs from tight tension, neglect, or leaving them too long. Our stylists braid and install with care, advise safe tension, and recommend maintenance to minimize breakage and scalp stress.

Installation time varies by style and density, typically between one and three hours. Simple crochet twists or braids are faster; fuller fauxlocs or longer lengths take longer. We schedule consultations to provide an accurate time estimate based on your chosen look.

You can swim and exercise with crochet styles, but take precautions. Rinse chlorine or salt water promptly, condition afterward, and wear a swim cap when possible. Excessive exposure or neglect can dry hair and loosen installations, so follow aftercare to prolong wear.

Maintain with gentle cleansing, scalp moisturizing, and nighttime protection. Use sulfate-free shampoos diluted with water, lightweight oil or leave-in for the scalp, and satin bonnet or pillowcase. Avoid heavy products that weigh hair down and schedule touch-ups as recommended.

Yes — crochet braids, twists, and fauxlocs are highly versatile. You can bun, ponytail, part, or accessorize. Avoid excessive heat directly on synthetic fibers; use heat-friendly hair or low heat techniques. Consult your stylist for recommended styles and safe methods.
