Feed-in Cornrows usually last 4–8 weeks depending on hair growth, care routine, and activity level. Regular scalp care, protective sleeping methods, and avoiding heavy oils extend longevity. We recommend touch-ups or removal at signs of loosening to maintain a neat, healthy style.

When installed correctly with gradual extension feeding and minimal tension, Feed-in Cornrows protect hair health. Overly tight braids or extended wear without breaks can cause stress. Our stylists prioritize gentle tension, customized parting, and care advice to prevent breakage and promote hair integrity.
