Hair extensions through braiding are the most effective and widespread application method to achieve length, volume, and variety in style. The longevity of braiding hair extends mainly depending on the sort of hair used, method of application or installation, and aftercare.
Normally, hair extension braids last from 6 to 8 weeks. Being more prone to tangling and frizzing, the synthetic extensions will usually last from 4 to 6 weeks. It can be longer in the case of human braiding hair extensions, from 8 to 10 weeks, since they are more resistant and can be handled the same way as these.
Another very key thing in the longevity of using braiding hair extensions is the method of installation. Considering that hair extensions are put by the user, there are less likely slip-ups or untied threads if carefully braided and secured upon installation, so they could prolong the time. Box braids, cornrows, and micro braids are the techniques that can manage this durability and last the full 8 to 10 weeks.
This can be kept if the scalp is washed and cleaned from time to time. Some braid products have specifically been formulated to ensure that they do not cause damage to the hair and that they would not make the hair dry. In addition, one may also wear some scarf made of silk or satin over the hair or over the pillow for reduced friction, which eliminates frizz and will make the braids last a little longer.
