How long does it typically take to complete tree braids?

  1. 2 hours

  2. 3 hours

  3. 4 hours

  4. 5 hours

The correct answer is: 4 hours

Tree braids are a type of hair braiding technique that involves attaching hair extensions to individual sections of natural hair. This process can be time-consuming as the hair extensions need to be carefully incorporated for a seamless blend. Typically, the time it takes to complete tree braids can vary depending on the length and thickness of the natural hair, as well as the desired length and style of the braids. While it may be possible to complete tree braids within 2 or 3 hours for some individuals, it is more common for the process to take 4-5 hours. This allows for enough time to ensure that the braids are neat and well-secured. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for this extra time needed for proper completion of tree braids.
