Braids Aftercare:
After 2-3 weeks, your braids may frizz. To maintain them:
- Apply Shine n' Jam or olive oil mousse and oil to your scalp, then wrap with a scarf every 1-2 weeks.
⁃ Use Shine n' Jam gel or neat braid gel on parts for frizz control.
⁃ If itchy, use dry shampoo or wash your braids.
⁃ Always wear a satin bonnet to bed to keep braids fresh.
Knotless Braids Washing:
- Use diluted clarifying shampoo in a spray bottle directly on your scalp.
- Gently rub with fingertips, rinse with lukewarm water, and apply diluted conditioner.
- Air dry or sit under a dryer for 45 minutes (not for bohemian styles).
Bohemian/Goddess curls:
- Carefully separate knots and cut out tangles if needed.
- Apply curling mousse or Shine n' Jam mousse and wrap curls around your fingertips.
- Use a loop brush to detangle curls to minimize shedding. (Loop brushes available for purchase.)
Satin Bonnets Benefits:
- Reduce breakage and tangling, protecting hair and minimizing damage.
- Prevent split ends and dryness, as satin retains moisture better than cotton.
- Control frizz by using a satin scarf underneath for added protection.
Hair Care Don'ts:
- Limit conditioner to 5 minutes to avoid loosening braids.
- Avoid washing stitch braids and large cornrows.
- Do not apply heat to synthetic curls.
Braid Out Tips:
- Cut braids 2-3 inches below your natural hair to avoid cutting it.
- On average we loose 50-100 strands of hair daily so shedding is normal; avoid scratching with nails to reduce breakage.
⁃ Use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of buildup
- Use a detangling conditioner after washing.
