5 tips for Braiding hair by Andree Marie – andree-marie.blogspot.com
1. Condition your hair well before braiding; I suggest a thorough treatment to increase the elasticity.
2. Reduce the tension on your hair; there is no need to do your hair extra tight, this can cause traction alopecia and can lead to permanent damage.
3. Take care; wear a satin or silk scarf to keep your hair neat.
4. Use something for your scalp; hair can get itchy when braided up, so keep some spray nearby, there are loads of braid sheen around to keep your hair moisturised, healthy, strong and maintained during your protective style.
5. Know when it’s time; braids should last 4-8weeks, they wont always stay looking pretty, depending on the size of the braids they may start to pull after a while.
