Generally, box braids can last up to 8 weeks, while knotless braids can last up to 12 weeks. However, it depends on how you take care of your braids.

What’s the difference between Knotless and box braids?
Knotless braids are a type of hairstyle created by using synthetic extensions that have no knots in them. This allows the wearer to achieve a natural-looking style, eliminating the small bumps that can occur with standard box braids.
Box braids are a type of hairstyle created by using small sections of hair and creating three-strand braids secured with elastics. Box braids tend to create a more defined and structured look compared to the more natural look of knotless braids.
Box Braids vs. Knotless Braids
With box braids, a knot is used to secure the braids in your hair. With knotless braids, the stylist will use your hair to start the braids and let it feed into the braids as they braid down.
Both braids are super cute. If you don’t want your braids super tight, inform the stylist not to braid tight beforehand.
How much should medium knotless cost?
The cost of knotless braids will vary depending on the stylist, but the average range for knotless braids is $150 to $500, depending on location and also the stylist. Also, keep in mind the size of the braids and also the length and longer & smaller braids are usually more in price.
