Absolutely! You can add subtle extensions at the base for more volume, and the sleek braiding technique actually creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair.
Ask your stylist to use medium tension—not too tight—and apply nourishing edge control instead of heavy gel. This keeps your hairline healthy while maintaining the sleek look.
Yes! The flat, smooth base is perfect for veil placement. Position the comb just above or below the braids for seamless attachment that won't disrupt the style.
Ideally 1-2 days before your wedding. This gives the braids time to settle naturally and look even sleeker, plus you can test wearing it overnight for comfort.
