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
