While in Braids:

  • Wash every 2–3 weeks using diluted shampoo to prevent buildup.

  • Moisturize the scalp and new growth 2–3 times weekly with water-based spray.

  • Mix your leave in moisturiser with water in a spray bottle

  • Massage the scalp gently for blood circulation.

  • Avoid tight styles,  they can cause traction alopecia (hair loss).

  • Wear satin or silk scarves/bonnets at night to reduce friction.

  • Keep braids in for no more than 6–8 weeks.
