Before braiding your hair, there are many things to
consider. First, hair must be in tip-top shape before braiding, as after
the process it is difficult to care for your hair. Have a hot oil or
deep conditioning treatment done to lock moisture into your hair, easing
the braiding process. Get a haircut, shedding all split ends. If you
are braiding extensions into your hair, use the highest quality
products; lower quality products tend to break and damage hair. Choose a
hairstylist who is experienced with the type of braiding you need. Each
style of braiding requires a specific technique and, when done wrong,
can cause discomfort, hair damage or a sloppy look. Ensure hair is as
clean as possible and dry before braiding. After braiding, use dandruff
or braiding shampoo. Braids have a special effect on the scalp, so
massage oil onto the scalp frequently. Stay away from heat styling and
ponytails as much as possible as both can weaken braids and pull hair
out from the roots. Finally, when the time comes, do not attempt to
remove the braids yourself; the process of unbraiding can be as involved
as the process of braiding itself.
