With proper care, Cornrow Crochet can last four to eight weeks. Duration depends on hair growth, braid tightness, and quality of crochet hair. We recommend touch-ups or removal after eight weeks to prevent matting and protect your natural hair.

When installed correctly, Cornrow Crochet is a protective style that minimizes manipulation. Using a proper cornrow foundation and not installing hair too tight reduces breakage risk. We consult on hair health and recommend maintenance to keep your scalp and strands healthy throughout wear.

Time varies based on hair length, density, and braid pattern; typically the cornrow foundation takes one to two hours. Adding the crochet installation adds extra time. Our stylist will give an accurate estimate during consultation and booking.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap for chlorinated pools, rinse and condition after swimming, and secure hair for workouts. Limit prolonged wetness and follow our care tips to prevent tangling and preserve the crochet hair's integrity.

Keep your scalp clean, moisturized, and avoid heavy oils that attract buildup. Sleep with a satin bonnet, lightly mist hair with leave-in spray, and detangle gently when needed. Schedule touch-ups and avoid excessive pulling to extend the lifespan of the style.

Coloring or heat-styling depends on the hair type used. Synthetic hair often cannot be dyed or requires low-heat tools; human-hair crochet can be colored and styled safely. Consult your stylist first; we recommend professional services to avoid damaging the extensions.
