With proper care, The Meridian Braid lasts four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance routine, and activity level. We recommend a check-in around six weeks to preserve symmetry, tension, and scalp health.

When installed using controlled tension and protective techniques, The Meridian Braid minimizes breakage and stress. Our stylists assess hair history and adjust methods accordingly, and we provide aftercare guidance to further reduce risk.

The Meridian Braid works well on medium to thick textures and natural curl patterns. Finer hair can be braided with softer tension or added protection. Book a consultation to evaluate length, density, and any extension needs.

Gently cleanse the scalp every one to two weeks with diluted sulfate-free shampoo, focus on roots, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry or low-heat blow-dry. Apply lightweight oils to the scalp and sleep with a silk scarf to prolong the style.

Yes. We can integrate high-quality extensions for added length or density while maintaining the sleek, sculpted look. Extension selection and attachment methods are customized to minimize stress and ensure seamless blending.

Appointments typically range from 2.5 to 5 hours depending on braid complexity, hair length, density, and whether extensions are added. We allow time for consultation, precise parting, and finishing touches; arriving with clean, detangled hair helps.
