Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Natural Style.

On average, Natural Style lasts four to eight weeks depending on hair texture, braid size, and aftercare. Proper maintenanceโ€”sleep protection, gentle cleansing, and consistent moisturizingโ€”can extend wear. Active lifestyles or frequent washing may shorten the lifespan; consult your stylist for tailored advice.

When installed with low tension and proper technique, Natural Style is protective and supports growth. Damage occurs with excessive pulling, tight braids, or neglect. Our stylists prioritize gentle placement, balanced tension, and scalp care to minimize risk and promote healthy hair.

Arrive with clean, detangled hair that has been deep-conditioned and thoroughly dried. Avoid heavy oils or silicones that interfere with hold. Bring reference photos and discuss any sensitivities so your stylist can customize the Natural Style for best results.

Use a sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight leave-in conditioner, and a hydrating oil or scalp serum. A satin scarf or pillowcase protects the style overnight. Light, targeted moisturizers and occasional gentle cleansing keep hair healthy without disrupting the Natural Style.

You can exercise, but avoid excessive sweating in the first 24โ€“48 hours to allow the style to set. For swimming, wear a snug swim cap and rinse hair promptly after exposure to chlorine or salt, then rehydrate to protect strands and scalp.

Prices vary based on hair length, thickness, and complexityโ€”typically ranging from $50 to $150. A consultation provides an exact quote and time estimate. Sessions usually last one to three hours depending on customization and any additional treatments.
