TIPS TO MAKE YOUR BRAIDS LAST LONGER
- Use a silk scarf to protect your hair at night: I know the whole point of doing braids is to protect your hair, so why add on the double protection of a scarf/bonnet? Well the scarf really does help to prevent your hair from fizzing up too early.
- Moisturize your hair: This one is really obvious. Moisturizing your hair is important to keep it healthy and it also helps to prevent an itchy scalp which can lead to scratching and scratching too much can ruin your braided hairstyle.
