Have questions? We've got answers.
Box braids are classic, versatile braids that are divided into square-shaped sections, creating a protective and trendy look. They can be styled in various ways and are great for low-maintenance hairstyles.
Jumbo braids are bold, chunky braids that provide a dramatic and unique look. These braids are thicker and more voluminous compared to regular box braids, making them stand out.
Cornrows are tightly braided rows that are braided close to the scalp, creating a sleek and low-maintenance style. They can be styled in various patterns and are great for long-lasting results.
Goddess braids are a luxurious style that combines braids with curls and accessories for a stylish, feminine, and voluminous look. They are perfect for those looking for a glamorous and trendy hairstyle.
Feed-In Braids are a braiding technique where synthetic hair is added gradually into the braid to create a fuller and more voluminous look. This style gives a natural appearance while adding length and thickness.
Starter locs are the initial phase of the loc process where hair is sectioned and twisted to begin the locking process. They are the foundation of mature locs and require proper maintenance for healthy growth.
Loc maintenance involves retwisting and grooming existing locs to ensure they stay healthy and well-formed. This service helps to keep locs neat and can include other care treatments.
Loc styling includes styling your locs into various trendy looks, such as curls, updos, or intricate patterns, to create a polished and customized appearance.
Instant locs are achieved by using extensions or braids to create the appearance of mature locs. This process skips the typical growth phase and gives a fuller, mature look immediately.
Two-strand twists are a classic twist style where hair is divided into two sections and twisted together to form defined, natural-looking twists with lots of texture.
Senegalese twists are tight, sleek twists that have a smooth finish. They are long-lasting, giving a refined and elegant look.
Marley twists are thicker, textured twists made from Marley hair, providing a fuller and more natural look. They are perfect for those looking for a voluminous style with lots of texture.
Havana twists are loose, chunky twists that offer a more voluminous, relaxed appearance. This style provides a carefree, stylish look with a lot of texture and body.
Flat twists are a type of twist that sits close to the scalp, creating a sleek and defined appearance with less volume. They are great for those who prefer a low-maintenance but stylish look.
A sew-in weave is a hair extension technique where extensions are sewn into braided hair, adding length and volume. This method is great for a natural look and is highly customizable.
Tape-in extensions are applied using tape, offering a seamless, natural look that can be styled in many ways. They are lightweight and easy to maintain.
Clip-in extensions are temporary hair extensions that can be clipped into your natural hair. They provide instant volume, length, or color change and are easy to apply and remove.
Micro-link extensions involve small beads that attach extensions to your natural hair without the use of glue or tape. This method offers a natural look and can be adjusted as needed.
Fusion extensions use a keratin bonding technique to attach extensions to your natural hair. This method provides a long-lasting, natural look with a smooth finish.
