Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro braids.

Micro braids typically last six to ten weeks depending on hair growth and care. Tightness, scalp oil, and maintenance routines affect longevity. Schedule touch-ups every 4–6 weeks if needed to keep edges tidy.

Installation time varies by braid size, length, and whether extensions are used. Expect four to eight hours for a full head appointment. Peggy provides comfortable, mobile service and can estimate timing during your consultation.

Micro braids work on many textures but require healthy, detangled hair. Very fine or fragile hair may need protective prep or larger braids to avoid stress. Peggy assesses hair condition and suggests the best size and method.

When installed and maintained correctly, micro braids are protective. However, overly tight braiding, excessive weight from extensions, or prolonged neglect can cause breakage. Peggy uses gentle tension and recommends periodic breaks to minimize risk.

Wash braids every one to two weeks with diluted shampoo, focusing on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out water, and air-dry or use low heat. Moisturize scalp and braid strands lightly to prevent dryness and frizz.

Pricing varies by braid size, length, and whether extensions are added. Typical ranges are quoted during consultation. Peggy offers transparent pricing, custom quotes, and mobile convenience—contact for an accurate estimate for your desired look.
