Each braid is formed from a clean section and feed-in braiding hair to reach the planned length. Smaller sizes increase density and install time; larger sizes install faster with a fuller, chunkier look. With nightly protection and light refreshing, box braids are commonly worn 4–8 weeks. Scalp access between parts allows careful cleansing and drying during wear.
