Hair Care

1. Keep Your Scalp Clean: Use a gentle shampoo to cleanse your scalp regularly. You can apply it using a spray bottle or squeeze bottle to avoid disturbing the braids too much.

2. *Moisturize*: Apply a lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner to keep your scalp and braids hydrated. Focus on the roots and the ends of the braids.

3. *Protect at Night*: Use a satin or silk scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent frizz while you sleep.

4. *Avoid Tension*: Be cautious about tight styles, as they can cause breakage. If you notice discomfort, consider loosening your braids or changing styles.

5. *Limit Heat*: Avoid using heat styling tools on braided hair to prevent damage. If you need to style, opt for no-heat methods.

6. *Maintain Your Edges*: Apply a light edge control or oil to your edges to keep them smooth without applying too much tension.

7. *Be Gentle*: When taking down your braids, do so carefully to avoid breakage. Use a detangling spray to ease the process.

8. *Schedule Regular Maintenance*: Depending on the type of braids, consider touch-ups or re-braiding every few weeks to keep the style looking fresh.

9. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support hair health from within.

By following these tips, you can help ensure your braids look great while keeping your hair healthy!
