Installation Method

Braiding foundation: Natural hair is parted and braided partway down or all the way, leaving loose ends or a base for attachment.
Crochet attachment: A crochet hook feeds curly hair pieces through the braids using a looping technique that secures the strands without heavy knotting.
Time-saving: A full head can often be installed in under 3 to 4 hours.

Maintenance

Separate the curls gently with your fingers to help prevent tangling. Avoid excessive brushing or combing, as this may loosen the curl pattern and cause frizz.
At night, loosely gather the hair and cover it with a satin bonnet or scarf. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or curl refresher when needed, but avoid applying heavy oils or products directly to the knots.
Clean the scalp gently and allow the hair to dry completely. When removing the style, carefully loosen each knot instead of pulling or cutting the hair. With proper removal and care, the human hair strands may be reused.
