How Long Should You Keep Box Braids In?
Box braids should be kept in for a maximum of 6 to 8 weeks. Wearing them for any longer than this can result in hair damage, breakage and a buildup of dirt and bacteria on the scalp. It is important to give your hair a break between installations to allow it to rest and recover. Proper maintenance and care are also crucial to ensure the longevity and health of the braids.
