Braid Maintenance

Braids last differently for many people, and depending on how much you care for your hair, you necessarily might not need to be on a hair changing spree, but will let your hair glow even more with time. There is even a fallacy that braids get prettier with time but that of course should not be a major factor to consider. 

So to properly take care of your braids to avoid quick wear out and maintain appearance:

Oil The Scalp Regularly: just like how you apply moisture for the preservation of hair and skin, oil helps to keep the hair hydrated reducing the dryness and itchiness of the braids. The moisturized hair also does not Flake, and flaking causes a dirt outlook on the hair, so this is another advantage. Lastly, some people experience hair fall out after braiding their hair, but oiling promotes hair growth.
