What to Expect During Your Kids’ Braiding Appointment
We start with a brief consultation with the parent/guardian to discuss the desired style, any sensitivities, and time expectations. Our braider works gently and patiently, using child-safe products and lighter tension than adult services.
How to Care for Your Child’s Braids
Cover braids with a satin bonnet or scarf at bedtime. Moisturize the scalp gently with a child-safe oil spray. Kids’ braids typically last 2–4 weeks for cornrows and 4–6 weeks for individual braids.
