We’ve heard all your prayers! Medium-Small (or “Smedium” as we like to call it) Knotless Box Braids are finally here. Not quite small, not quite medium… just perfectly right in between. The Knotless Box Braid method refers to the hair being fed in as your stylist braids. As a result, you’ll get a braid that’s not as bulky, flows like real hair, and not as heavy on your head, meaning more hair flips! If you’d like to add curly/wavy ends or flyaways to this style, you can do so as add-ons. See more details and add-ons below. Note: For mid-back length add $50 and for waist length add $100.

Description

What are smedium knotless braids?

Smedium knotless braids are mid-sized individual braids that start without a knot at the root, creating a flatter, more natural look. They offer the fullness of traditional box braids with the flexibility and comfort of knotless installation. Loved for their easy styling and sleek finish, they’re ideal if you want something not too big, not too small—just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy my own hair?

We don’t carry an extensive inventory of hair, so clients have to purchase their own. But we’ve created this guide if you need recommendations.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Arrive with clean, product-free hair, detangled if possible. You can add a blowout or detangling as needed.

How long do knotless braids last?

With proper care, you can expect them to last up to 6–8 weeks. But we generally recommend keeping protective styles in for four weeks, to promote a healthy scalp and hair. Learn more here.

How do I care for the style?

Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet and use a light scalp oil 2–3x per week. Want a full care guide? Check out this article →
