Get answers to common questions about Braid Down Foundation.

The Braid Down Foundation includes cleansing, parting, and braiding a secure base to attach weaves, wigs or extensions. We assess hair health and texture and prepare the scalp; optional 'And up' detangle and blow-dry is available for $20.

Appointment time varies by hair length and texture but generally takes 45 to 90 minutes. Adding the 'And up' detangle and blow-dry option may add 15 to 30 minutes depending on hair condition.

The 'And up' option is optional but recommended for very tangled, thick, or damp hair. It smooths strands for a cleaner foundation, making installation easier and reducing tension. The service costs an additional $20.

Yes. A properly installed braid foundation protects natural hair by distributing weight evenly, minimizing tension and friction. We also recommend gentle maintenance, regular moisturizing, and professional removal to prevent damage.

Clean hair is preferred, but not required. We offer cleansing and preparation as part of the service when needed. If you want detangling and blow-dry, choose the 'And up' option for $20 to ensure best results.

With proper care, a braid foundation typically lasts four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, activity level, and aftercare. Schedule touch-ups if you notice slippage or excessive new growth for optimal protection.
