Long-lasting braids depend on gentle handling and a repeatable routine. Applying more product does not necessarily create a cleaner or healthier result.
Protect the style every night
Use a satin scarf, bonnet or pillowcase. Secure long braids loosely so their weight does not pull at the hairline while sleeping.
Keep the scalp comfortable
Apply lightweight care sparingly and avoid scratching with sharp tools. Persistent pain, swelling, sores or irritation should not be ignored.
Dry the style thoroughly
After cleansing, exercise, swimming or rain, allow both the roots and braided lengths to dry completely before covering them for the night.
Reduce repeated tension
Avoid wearing tight high buns and ponytails every day. Rotate low-tension styles and give the hairline a rest.
For personalized styling guidance, discuss your hair, desired result and maintenance routine during consultation. Health concerns require assessment by an appropriate licensed professional.
