How long do simple Fulani braids last?

Four to six weeks is the realistic window. Past six the new growth at the parting starts pulling, which is where edge damage begins — take them down rather than stretching to eight.

Do Fulani braids damage your edges?

Only when they are installed too tight or left in too long. A properly tensioned braid should never sting, tingle or raise bumps at the hairline on day one.

How long does a full head of Fulani braids take?

Between four and eight hours depending on braid size — jumbo sits at the low end, small and micro at the high end.

Protective styles buy your hair weeks of rest, but only when the tension, parting and takedown are right. These guides cover the styles themselves and the practical side most tutorials skip — install time, weight, wash routine, and when to take them out.
