How to Care for Your Braids and Make Them Last Longer
Getting braids is an investment of both time and money. Here are our top tips to help you get the most out of your protective style:
-
Wrap your hair at night: Use a satin bonnet or scarf.
-
Keep your scalp moisturized: Light oils or braid sprays work wonders.
-
Cleanse regularly: Use a diluted shampoo or dry shampoo for scalp cleanliness.
-
Avoid heavy styling: Limit tight ponytails or buns to reduce tension.
-
Don’t leave them in too long: 6–8 weeks max for most braid types.
With proper care, your braids can last and your natural hair stays protected and healthy underneath.
