Expect about four to eight hours depending on braid size, hair density, length, and stylist speed. Micros - Medium is quicker than ultra-fine micros but still requires time for neat, long-lasting results—plan for a full appointment.

Maintain by gently cleansing every two to three weeks, lightly moisturizing the scalp, avoiding heavy product buildup, and sleeping with a satin scarf. Schedule perimeter touch-ups as needed to preserve neatness and prevent tension on edges.

When installed and removed properly, Micros - Medium can protect hair by reducing manipulation and breakage. However, excessive tension, improper installation, or leaving braids in too long can cause damage—follow stylist guidance and allow regular rest periods.
