Question 1

How long do box braids last?

Accepted Answer

Traditional box braids typically last between 6 and 10 weeks depending on your hair growth rate and how well you protect them at night with a satin bonnet or scarf.

Question 2

What is the difference between box braids and knotless braids?

Accepted Answer

Box braids feature a traditional knot anchored at the root, which gives high structural hold and great fullness from day one. Knotless braids start with your own natural hair without a knot for zero initial scalp tension.

Question 3

How much do box braids cost at Doussou Quality Braiding?

Accepted Answer

Standard box braids range from $200 to $220 for medium sizes, and $250 for large statement or small high-density sizes. Braiding hair is included in our prices.

Question 4

Can I wash my hair while wearing box braids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We recommend focusing on your scalp with diluted shampoo or clarifying rinse every 2 to 3 weeks, followed by complete air drying or hooded drying to prevent moisture retention inside the braids.

Question 5

How do I choose between small, medium, and large box braids?

Accepted Answer

Small box braids offer the highest density and longest lifespan (8–10 weeks). Medium is our most popular all-around style, offering quick styling and 6–8 weeks of wear. Large box braids install quickly (3–4 hours) and provide a bold, chunky statement look.
