How to Care for Your Hair While In Braids

 How to Care For Your Hair While In Braids | DiscoveringNatural

There are 3 main things to consider when you wear your hair in braids:
Your Scalp
Your Hair
Your Style

When caring for your scalp, start by spritzing your scalp with some liquid. This can be water, a liquid spray that contains other things, or even a tea based liquid like our DIY Black Tea Oil Water. Click here to learn how to make it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLaO9mZOiQ
You can apply a little oil on the scalp only if needed. Scalp massage is quite beneficial in helping blood circulation and stimulating hair growth.

Your Hair, although hidden by the braids, still needs to be maintained. Using a liquid moisturizer will be beneficial. After applying, make sure to squeeze your braids so that the product thoroughly penetrates inside. Pay close attention to your edges to keep it hydrated. You can apply oils like this if needed to strengthen your edges: https://amzn.to/3VboxmZ

For the style to maintain its integrity, you can invest in a braid bonnet like this one: https://amzn.to/41MV3OE. If the style starts looking a little frizzy, apply some mousse like this https://amzn.to/3oRUO6F and tie the hair down with a scarf overnight or sit under a hooded dryer.

If you are going to keep your braids for more than a month, you can wash your scalp to minimize product buildup and scalp inflammation. How to wash braids: https://youtu.be/Lby1wS1ZBEA

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.
