HOWTO CARE FOR YOUR BRAIDS

how to care for your braided hair

Caring for braided hair is relatively easy, but it does require some special attention. Here are some tips to help you keep your braided hair looking beautiful and healthy.

1. Get an Aloe vera plant and scrape off the inside into a spray bottle and let it sit for 30 minute. Add 1or 2 drop of a natural leave in conditioner and natural oil. Mix it well and use it daily as a moisturizer by spraying on your hair.

2. Cleanse your hair with a damp wash cloth every 3-4 days. Cleaning your hair with damp wash cloth regularly will help remove product buildup, dirt, and oils. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils.

3. If you must, deep condition your hair weekly. Applying a deep conditioner to your hair will help keep your hair hydrated and nourished. (This can cause your braids to be frizzy)

4. Protect your braids at night. To protect your braids from breakage and frizz, always sleep with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet. (available at braidsbyreine.com )

5. Moisturize your braids regularly. Many people with braided hair recommend using a light oil such as coconut, castor oil and braids by Reine Hair Growth Oil ( available at braidsbyreine.com ) to moisturize your scalp and ends.

6. Avoid using too much product. Using too much product can weigh your hair down and create buildup. Stick to light styling products and use minimal amounts.

Following these tips will help you keep your braided hair looking beautiful and healthy.
