Bintou Professional African Hair Braiding

⏰ Leaving your braids in too long?

Here’s exactly how long each style should stay in — and what happens to your hair if you go over.

Taking them out on time protects your edges, prevents breakage, and keeps your natural hair healthy for the next install.

⚠️ If you notice any of these 5 signs, your braids may be too tight — and your hair is telling you to act fast.

• Scalp bumps
• Headache
• White flakes at the base
• Scalp soreness
• Tiny hairs breaking

Don’t ignore the warning signs. Tight tension can lead to long-term damage, especially around your edges.

At Bintou Hair Braiding, we specialize in gentle techniques that protect your edges.

✨ Not all braid styles suit every face shape — here's a quick guide ✨

Choosing the right braids can instantly enhance your features and boost your confidence. Here are some flattering favorites:

Round faces → Feed-in braids, long layered styles, or side-swept looks for added length & definition

Oval faces → Most styles work beautifully — try knotless braids, Fulani, or micro braids

Square faces → Soft, face-framing braids or boho styles with loose strands

Heart-shaped faces → High ponytails, voluminous buns, or longer braids that balance the jawline

The right style + perfect tension = a look that feels custom-made for you.
