FAQ: Side Braid

What age is appropriate for braids?

NY stylists advise waiting until your child is old enough to express an interest in getting a baby braided hairdo. When they start showing interest in braids, this means they’re ready to learn more about this hairstyle.

Why do braids itch?

Braids take a long time to dry, so it’s tempting to go longer between washes. Dead skin cells, dust and sebum are collected on your scalp and then get stuck in the hair roots and must be cleaned to avoid irritation.

Does braiding hair make it grow?

Braiding hair does not increase its growth. So, if you’re suffering from hair loss caused by over-styling and/or breakage, wearing your hair in braids could actually help you grow it out. Wearing too-tight braids, on the other hand, can cause damage to your hair.
