How to do triangle parts

Getting Triangle Braids:

To keep the braids healthy and secure beyond one month, a salon visit (or two) for touch-ups will be necessary as your hair grows. How long do triangle braid installs take? This also varies by exact style and stylist however 4-8 hours is common.

Depending on the hair length, braid size, and location, the average box braids prices start at $35 to as much as $400. Prices also vary depending on pricing methods. There are two most common pricing methods: by hair length and by hour. Most braiding salons base their box braids prices on the client’s hair length.

Washing box braids can feel like an all-day activity. They absorb a ton of water, are insanely heavy when wet, and take several hours to dry.

Whilst braids can be a great protective style, they can also cause damage to your hair. For instance, keeping your hair in braids for several months at a time can cause your hair to become extremely dry, brittle and prone to breakage.

“Braids can last a maximum of 10 weeks if the hairline and nape are redone at the six-week mark,” Hill explains. “If the hairline and neck are not re-done at the six-week mark, eight weeks is the maximum amount of time you can keep your hair in a braided style.”

Cleaning without getting your hair wet

Washing your hair is ideal but if for some reason you can‘t fit in a wash, you can clean your scalp and braids without getting your hair wet. Use dry-shampoo and dry-conditioner, rubbing these products between your parts and along your braids.

Micro Box Braids

Thin braids can last up to three months, which out of all the braid sizes, is the longest time without having to go back to the salon––a gift in and of itself.

Take a painkiller. Tight box braids do loosen up over time. Usually, it can take 1 to 2 days before you find relief with tightly braided styles. If you want to wait it out, you can opt for taking a painkiller until you can tolerate the tension on your hair.
