Get answers to common questions about Braid Down Foundation.

The Braid Down Foundation includes scalp consultation, protective base braiding, sectioning, and secure foundation prep for weaves or extensions. Optional detangling and professional blow-dry are available as an add-on for $20 to ensure smooth, manageable hair before installation.

Appointment length varies by hair density, length, and desired foundation complexity. Typically a Braid Down Foundation takes 45 to 90 minutes; allow additional time if you select the detangle and blow-dry add-on, which can add about 20 minutes to the service.

Yes. Your stylist will adjust braid tension to balance longevity and scalp comfort. Communicate preferences before we start—too-tight braids can cause breakage and discomfort, while too-loose foundations may reduce extension security.

Clean hair is ideal, so we recommend washing and thoroughly detangling before your appointment when possible. If needed, we can detangle and blow-dry for an extra $20 add-on; full washing services may incur separate charges.

The detangle and blow-dry are not included by default; they are offered as a $20 optional add-on. Please request this service when booking or upon arrival so we can allocate time and use appropriate detangling products for your hair.

Maintain your foundation by moisturizing the scalp lightly, avoiding heavy oils near the roots, sleeping with a satin scarf or pillowcase, and minimizing frequent tension. Schedule regular check-ins and touch-ups with your stylist to prolong the life of the braid foundation and extensions.
