Box Braids Longevity Guide
Box braids typically last 4 to 8 weeks with proper care. The exact duration depends on your hair type, the size of the braids, and how well you maintain them.
Tips for Making Box Braids Last
- Wrap your hair at night: Use a satin or silk scarf to reduce friction and frizz.
- Moisturize regularly: Apply a lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner to your scalp and braids.
- Avoid excessive water exposure: While you can wash your braids, limit how often to prevent frizzing.
- Do not keep them in too long: Leaving braids in beyond 8 weeks can cause matting and breakage.
