What Are Pick and Drop Braids?
Pick and drop braids are a classic, highly versatile protective hairstyle where each section of hair is braided only a short distance from the root—typically one to two inches—before being securely locked off. The remainder of the extension length is left unbraided, flowing freely as gorgeous, voluminous curls or waves. This unique technique offers the security and easy scalp access of a braided style at the base, whilst perfectly mimicking the look of a full curly weave or natural blowout. For ease of manageablity we reommend using human hair extensions for pick and drop. Click here to shop our premium human hair line.

Mobile Pick and Drop Braids in London
You no longer need to sacrifice your precious weekend traveling to busy central London salons. Our premium mobile hair service transforms your home into a relaxing, private oasis. All we require from you is a comfortable chair, access to an electrical outlet, and a spot where you can sit back, stream your favorite series, or catch up on work while we install your braids.
How Long Do Pick and Drop Braids Last?
When properly maintained, a full set of pick and drop braids can last between 6 to 12 weeks depending if human hair or synthetic hair was used for the install because the loose section of the hair is prone to everyday friction, the longevity of the style heavily depends on the hair quality used. To maximise your look, we highly recommend sleeping in a premium silk or satin bonnet and using a lightweight curl-defining mousse to keep the loose lengths free from frizz. We equally recommend using a high end leave in conditioner and hair oil to protect your hair and maintain the hair extensions throughout the duration of the install.
