When installed properly, knotless braids with curls can last 4-6 weeks, making them perfect if you want to get them done a week before your wedding. The curls may need refreshing the morning of your big day for maximum bounce.
Absolutely! Knotless braids create a smooth, secure base for veil attachment at the crown or nape. Your stylist can position the veil to complement your braid pattern beautifully.
Yes, knotless braids are actually gentler on fine hair than traditional braids since they don't pull at the roots. Your braider can adjust the size and tension to protect your hair while creating a full, stunning look.
Book your braider 2-3 months in advance, and schedule the installation 3-5 days before your wedding. This gives the braids time to settle naturally while keeping the curls fresh and bouncy for your big day.
