Get answers to common questions about Goddess Braids.

With proper installation and care, Goddess Braids typically last four to eight weeks. Touch-ups may be needed sooner around edges; avoid heavy tension, moisturize regularly, and sleep with a silk scarf to maximize longevity and reduce frizz.

When installed by a skilled stylist using proper technique and relaxed tension, Goddess Braids are protective and minimize breakage. Avoid overly tight braiding, keep scalp moisturized, and remove them promptly if you notice soreness to prevent traction-related damage.

Yes—exercise with Goddess Braids is fine. For swimming, wear a swim cap and rinse thoroughly after to remove chlorine or salt. Keep hair moisturized and secure styles for intense workouts to prevent frizz and tangling; regular maintenance extends the look.

To wash, dilute a gentle shampoo and focus on the scalp rather than soaking the curly ends. Rinse well and gently pat dry. Refresh curls with a water-based leave-in or light mousse, moisturize roots, and sleep on satin to reduce frizz and preserve style.
