with Braids
Shampooing Hair
Shampoo hair with a shampoo that has been recommended for you during your
consultation. Massage scalp with your finger tips. The last shampoo, use
Creme of Nature shampoo, it conditions and softens the hair for the final
rinse. Use Lady Hilda Creme rinse to soften and condition the hair and
to help remove traces of shampoo that may be left in the braids during
the rinse. This will prevent dry rot from shampoo being left in the hair.
Condition with the recommended hair conditioner and then apply Lady Hilda
Creme Oil, Blue Magic or Blue Velvet hair conditioner to the scalp.
Oiling Scalp
Oil the hair with Lady Hilda Creme Oil or use Blue Magic or Blue Velvet
conditioner when hair seems dry, at least once a week should keep your
hair soft.
Sleeping/Resting
Sleep with your hair pulled back, held securely with a tie or bobbles
and wrap braids in a silk scarf or use a sleeping cap.
Removing Braids
When removing the braids, apply Wella Balsam hair conditioner, a section
at a time and remove braids. After taking out a braid, comb from the end
of the braid to the root until it combs out smoothly. Take that section
and secure in a large braid until all the braids are taken out. The Wella
Balsam hair conditioner will soften the hair and prevent breakage in the
removal of the braids. If you can't find this conditioner a leave-in conditioner
will do. I recommend Wella Balsam because it does not dry as fast at other
conditioners. Lady Hilda Creme oil is also recommended for the removal
of braids. If your hair is well conditioned with Blue Magic or Blue Velvet
you may not have to use the Wella Balsam.
When to take the Braids Out
Never leave your braids in longer than three months. Hair tends to weaken
after three months and you will experience a greater hair loss when removing
braids.
Styling Braids
Style the braids with a jumbo hair pins that were provided by your stylist.
try and stay away from scrunchies because they are usually too small to
pull all of the braids through with ease? Use a tie or bobbles (two with
the elastic) to secure hair in a pony tail, the bobbles can always be
hidden.
-
Never secure braids in a tight hair style. Tight pulling of the hair causes
bumps. If these bumps get infected your hair will fall our in bald spots.
If not treated correctly, you could go bald. Tight braiding also destroys
the hair follicle and thins the hair.
