These simple tips will help refresh your braids:
for years. When I was growing up, the return to school each September was always pre-empted by a braid appointment, without fail. For my mum, braids were the answer to caring for the different curl patterns of her three daughters with the most ease.
Years later, and my own transition from chemically relaxed hair to a fledgling ‘naturalista’ has given me a new appreciation for the process of ‘resting’ my hair. This past summer, braids definitely occupied significant real estate in my own– but as someone whose hair tends to remain on the brittle/dry/another-dry-word side, protective styling is a must.
But the ultimate test of convenience is the longevity of your braided style. Braids may be fuss free, but without TLC your #neatbraids can start to unravel or loosen very quickly. Although as a rule of thumb, braids should never be kept in for more than 6-8 weeks, right now, we’d understand if you were looking for a way to extend their lifespan. And that’s exactly why we’ve pooled the best tips for caring for braids.
If you already have braids in, scroll down for our advice on refreshing them, but if you’re lucky enough to live with a braiding expert and you’re about to try your next braided style, start here.Okay, so you may not be able to visit your regular stylist right now, but if you live with a resident braider, then take note: the lifespan of your braids is very much dependent on the prep.
Washing your natural hair and prepping both your scalp and extension hair all contribute to the shelf life of your braided style. Depending on your hair type, scalp sensitivity and thickness, the pre-braid process will differ – and make sure to consider the current condition of your hair.
