What’s your BRAID PREP like—do you do any of these steps? I use PRE POO to SOFTEN & DETANGLE my hair before the wash @African Pride I focus a lot on my SCALP CARE so I like to use a scrub and a shampoo that foster a HEALTHY FOUNDATION 🤌🏽 @LABO-H I chose HYDRATION for my deep conditioning because my hair was dry and you DON’T WANNA GO INTO BRAIDS W/DRY HAIR🥴 @Cecred I’m not a huge SCALP OIL person cause I break out—I prefer serums…but I like to put some on my scalp before I SIT UNDER THE DRYER so it can marinate a lil bit lol @Mielle I’ve also been using this SPLIT ENDS SERUM from @Kérastase cause I like their products and I always find a way to throw them in my routine🤭 Then my lil LEAVE IN / OIL combo for MOISTURE, STRENGTHENING, and HEAT PROTECTION @UNOVE.global BLOW DRY SLOWLY, to reduce excessive friction and manipulation with heat @Dyson Made sure to TRIM my hair before the install bc braids require a lil more strength. Can’t have no WEAK ENDS fxckin up the program ✂️ And that’s the routine. Kinda extensive, but necessary imo🤷🏽‍♀️ All products used are linked in my Shop My under “braids prep”💕
