Oil the scalp, not the braids
Two or three times a week, part the braids and apply a light scalp oil directly to the skin. Heavy creams on the braid itself cause dullness and build-up.
Aftercare
Keep them shiny and sharp.
Simple habits that keep every style looking like it did on day one — and keep your own hair healthy underneath.
Everyday routine
Shine without build-up
A quick mist of braid sheen spray held 30 cm away brings back shine in seconds. One light pass is enough — more makes the hair sticky.
Always cover at night
A satin bonnet or scarf is the single most important habit. Cotton pillowcases pull moisture out and lift frizz along every braid.
Wash gently, dry fully
Every two to three weeks, dilute shampoo in water, squeeze it along the scalp and rinse well. Dry completely — damp braids smell and loosen.
Keep the edges sharp
Use a small brush and a pea-sized amount of edge control. Never pull the front braids tight to “fix” them — that is what damages the hairline.
Take them out in time
Booking your next appointment before the style is overdue protects your own hair and keeps the finish looking fresh.
