Lace Braids
Individuals with human hair. Braids are braided
about a fourth of an inch from the scalp and a strand of extension is
left out, the braid continues until the end of client's hair, secured
and the remainder of the braid is left loose to flow. This style allows
the client to have the look of a weave with the flexibility of individuals.
Their hair is completely braided therefore they do not need any chemicals
on their hair in order to blend with what ever hair they choose to where.

Undo braids and comb out. (a few hours).
Most styles can be worn anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 1/2 months.
During your consultation, all styles will be viewed and all concerns will be addressed. The technique used, does not pull your hair away from the scalp while being braided/twisted. This saves your hair and your hair follicles from being damaged. Also, tension can be adjusted to suit your comfort level.
