What is the best way to care for my scalp while wearing braids?
Keeping your scalp healthy is key. I recommend using a braid spray. Look for one with tea tree oil. It keeps your scalp moisturized. A gentle cleansing mousse helps too. Apply it directly to your scalp. This routine prevents itchiness.
Can I wash my hair while wearing these braids?
Yes, you absolutely can! Use a diluted shampoo mixture. Focus on your scalp and rinse gently. Avoid rubbing the braids too much. This helps maintain their neatness. A light conditioner can be used too. Make sure to dry them completely.
How can I prevent frizz and maintain the curls in my braided style?
Frizz is the enemy of perfect curls. I spray a light leave-in conditioner. It keeps the curls hydrated. Sleeping with a satin bonnet is crucial. This protects your style overnight. You can also re-twist curly ends. This keeps them looking fresh.
