What to Know Before Booking Kids' Braids

A child's first braiding appointment sets their expectations for years, so comfort matters more than complexity.

Choose a realistic style

Cornrows and medium box braids sit well and take less time than micro sizes. Save intricate patterns for older children.

Time the appointment

Book when your child is rested and fed. Bring a tablet, snacks and a familiar toy.

Talk about tension

Tell your child to speak up if anything feels tight. Our braiders would much rather adjust than continue.

Aftercare

A child-size satin bonnet and a light scalp oil are all that is needed between appointments.
