Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lemonades.

Most Lemonades take between three to six hours, depending on hair density, length, and added color or extensions. A detailed consultation helps estimate time; skilled stylists work efficiently while maintaining neat, comfortable parting and tension throughout.

Lemonades suit a wide range of hair textures—natural, coily, curly, and relaxed strands can all work. They’re especially flattering on medium to thick hair but can be adapted for finer hair using smaller parts and lighter extension weight.

Arrive with clean, dry hair that’s detangled and deep-conditioned. Trim split ends and avoid heavy oils or product buildup. Bring inspiration photos and discuss desired length, color, and parting with your stylist for the best result.

Moisturize your scalp regularly with a light water-based spray and seal ends sparingly. Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet, avoid excessive manipulation, and book a professional touch-up for loose edges to extend style lifespan.

You can swim and exercise with Lemonades, but protect them: wear a swim cap, rinse salt or chlorinated water immediately, and rehydrate hair after swimming. Frequent exposure may shorten wear, so extra maintenance and rinsing are important.

With proper care, Lemonades typically last four to eight weeks before a full redo is recommended. Individual results vary with hair growth rate and activity; targeted touch-ups around edges or loose braids can extend the look.
