Before getting braids, ensure your hair is clean and well-moisturized. This prevents tangling and breakage during the braiding process. Regularly conditioning your hair helps maintain its strength and flexibility, making it more resilient to braiding.

Daily Care for Braided Hairstyles

• Keep your scalp clean: Gently cleanse the scalp with a diluted shampoo to remove buildup.
• Use a light oil: Apply a lightweight oil to the scalp and braids to prevent dryness.
• Avoid excessive pulling: Be cautious not to pull on braids too tightly to avoid damage.
• Protect while sleeping: Wear a satin or silk scarf to reduce friction and frizz.
• Do not overwash: Wash your braids no more than once a week to maintain their integrity.

Cleansing and Washing Techniques

When washing braided hairstyles, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to avoid dryness. Dilute the shampoo with water before applying it to your scalp to prevent buildup in the braids. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no residue is left behind, which could lead to scalp irritation.

Hydration is key for maintaining healthy braids. Use a light, leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep your scalp and braids moisturized. Applying a hydrating mist daily can also help maintain softness and prevent brittleness.

Preventing and Treating Common Issues

To prevent common issues such as itching or frizz, regularly apply a scalp-soothing treatment. Address any signs of tension by gently adjusting your braids and avoiding tight styles. For frayed ends, consider re-braiding or using a restorative hair product.
