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

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
