BRAIDS AFTERCARE

1.If the hair is 5 inches or longer in length a vitalising spray may be used
throughout the whole length of the braid i.e. root to tip-approximately
twice a week.
2.If the natural hair is less than 5 inches the braid spray should only be
used mid length to ends only approximately twice a week.
3.Braided hair should only be washed approximately once a week; washing
more often will loosen the braids and cause bits of the natural hair to
loosen from the braid.
4.Hair can be washed either in the shower stood upright,or in the bath.

METHOD

1.Wet the hair (braids) using the showerhead,or a jug in the bath. Dilute a
mild moisturising shampoo with 3 parts warm water-pour this over the
root area of the braids, gently use your fingers to make sure the shampoo
has covered all areas on the scalp.Do not massage. Rinse thoroughly
using clean water, in a downward direction, until all traces of shampoo
have been removed.
2. Repeat the procedure, but substitute conditioner instead. An oil free
conditioner is recommended after rinsing. Then gently squeeze excess
water from the braid.
3. Wrap a large towel round the head and pat, do not rub, over the towel
using palms of your hands. Leave the towel wrapped round the head
for 2 minutes.
4. The braids can now be left to dry naturally or a hand dryer may be use
on a medium heat.


The root area needs to be checked regularly to ensure there is no matting.
We recommend the braids should be removed after 3 months or when there
is 1 1/2 to 2 inches of regrowth. This depends on how fast your hair grows,
as the natural hair may start to get knotted at the roots in which case they
will need to be removed earlier.
