About this hairstyle
Micro braids are very fine braids that fall and move almost like loose hair. Wear them down, in a ponytail, a bun or half-up, and switch your look every day. It's detailed, patient work and a great choice if you want a protective style that's as versatile as possible.
It's a long session, so you'll be far more comfortable on your own sofa than in a salon chair. Book online on KOUTIVA and choose your date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. The team calls to confirm the exact price based on length and density, then a vetted hairdresser from our network comes to your home.
Styling tips
- A low bun pairs beautifully with a bazin boubou for a ceremony.
- Worn down, they suit a wax-print dress or office wear.
- A high ponytail with a matching headwrap gives a clean weekend look.
How long it lasts
With good care they usually last 6 to 8 weeks; try not to keep them in much longer than that.
To prepare before the hairdresser arrives
- Hair washed, detangled and dried the day before
- Your braiding hair if you're supplying it
- A comfortable chair near a power outlet, plus snacks
- Keep the day free: the session can take up to 12 hours
Care
- Satin scarf or bonnet every night, no exceptions
- Moisturise your scalp regularly with a light product
- Don't make ponytails and buns too tight
- Allow time for take-down, which needs to be done gently
Frequently asked questions
How long does the appointment take?
Allow roughly 8 to 12 hours, depending on the length, volume and size you choose.
Do I need to provide the hair?
It's up to you: bring your own, or ask KOUTIVA to supply it for an extra charge shown on the page. Just let us know your choice when you book.
Can the price change?
The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on the length and volume you want, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.
Can the session be split over two days?
For such a long style it's sometimes possible, depending on the hairdresser's availability. Mention it when you book and the KOUTIVA team will discuss it with you on the confirmation call.
