Hair Care

Keep Your Braids Thriving

Simple tips to make your style last and keep your natural hair healthy underneath.

💧

Moisturize Daily

Use a light leave-in spray or braid spray on your scalp and roots daily to retain moisture and prevent dryness.

🌙

Protect at Night

Sleep with a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase to reduce frizz and protect your edges every night.

🥴

Scalp Care

Apply diluted tea tree or peppermint oil to your scalp every 3–4 days to prevent buildup and itching.

⏰

Style Duration

Remove braids after 6–8 weeks maximum to prevent tangling and breakage to your natural hair.
