Pre-Braiding Preparation
Before diving into the braiding process, it’s crucial to prepare your hair adequately. Cleanse your hair with a moisturizing shampoo to remove any buildup. Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment using products like the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque, enriched with natural oils for optimal moisture.
Note: After washing, it’s essential to avoid adding any products to your hair before braiding. Adding products at this stage can lead to buildup, affecting the quality and longevity of your braids.
Scalp Health Matters
Maintaining a healthy scalp is paramount for preserving your hair’s integrity. While wearing braids, keep your scalp clean and moisturized. Use a dry shampoo, like Batiste Dry Shampoo, for a quick refresh between washes. Additionally, apply our Moringa Hair Growth oil to nourish the scalp and promote hair growth.
Gentle Washing Techniques
You can also opt to wash your braids every other week. Washing braided hair requires extra care. Choose a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo, such as Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Moisture & Shine Sulfate-Free Shampoo. Dilute it with water for a gentle cleansing solution, focusing on the scalp while avoiding disturbance to the braids.
Use Hair Growth Oil
Incorporate our Moringa Hair Growth oil into your routine to promote hair growth and maintain scalp health. Rich in essential nutrients, this oil provides the nourishment your hair needs, enhancing its strength and vitality.
Protective Night Routine
Protect your braids during sleep by wrapping them with a silk or satin scarf. Alternatively, sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. To aid hair growth, apply a small amount of our Moringa Hair Growth oil to the ends of your braids before bedtime.
