    My rule of thumb has always been box braids for at least 3 months. I've been doing this since HS. I even wash and redo and boom! Just like new!

    I know this is extra, but because I have thin hair, as soon as I see new growth (about every 6 weeks), I actually rebraid my hair. I also normally wear it up so the braids don't pull as much on my edges and roots. I definitely tie my hair in a scarf and have 2 silk pillowcases. Much love and blessings to everyone. Stay safe 💋 🙏 ❤ 🤎🖤

    • @fancybella3725
      @fancybella3725 3 года назад +3

      If your hair is frizzy throughout the braids it’s because the braider didn’t tuck your hair within the braid. It should only be frizzy at the roots. If it’s only frizzy there then you can easily take care of that by adding a light leave-in, some oil, and smoothing your hair with some Jam. Tie your hair down with a silk scarf and your hair should look new again.

    How do you wash them? i was considering washing my braids because i have terrible dandruff at jy scalp. Idk what to do about that.

    • @spacecowboy1474
      @spacecowboy1474 2 года назад +3

      The dandruff might be caused by the braiding hair. The hair is covered with a chemical residue from the manufacturing process. This residue can be very irritating to the scalp, so pre-washing the hair before use might help you. It worked for me!
      You can easily wash any type of braiding hair by soaking it in a mix of warm water and apple cider vinegar.
      Add enough water to cover the hair, then add about 1/4 cup vinegar. Let it soak for 15-30 minutes then hang it up in the shower or some where to dry. It dries in about 4 hours or you can leave it over night. That's it! 😊
      Tip: tie off the end of each hair bundle with a rubber band to prevent the hair from tangling
      I've used this method and it works! My scalp would get super itchy and flaky within days of braiding my hair. After pre-washing the hair, my scalp is like normal! No horrid flakes or intense itching!
      Tip: regularly moisturizing your scalp with oil helps too

    • @Danyellababe
      @Danyellababe 8 месяцев назад

      It may be the type of hair used. Some hair can cause irritation. In my case, I have to use the hypoallergenic kind.

  • @tiarichards4265

    I’ve recently just got box braids do u think the olive oil sheen and durag for night would do ?

    • @Karisbell
      @Karisbell  4 года назад +3

      Tia Richards yes! the olive oil sheen will make your braids look fresh and the durag will keep the braids from frizzing. I would also look knot the braid spray. That will keep your hair moisturized and reduce breakage especially around your edges. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions!

      It might be the braiding hair. Shop in your area for pre-washed or hypoallergenic braiding hair. Usually black owned beauty supply stores sale it. I hope this helps.
