    They walked me through how to moisturize my hair under the braids and my natural hair looked even better when I took them down.

    How To Care For Your Protective Styles At Home

    Wrap your hair at night with a satin scarf or bonnet
    Use a light oil or spray on your scalp a few times a week โ€“ not heavy grease
    Avoid pulling styles too tightly into high ponytails or buns
    Gently cleanse your scalp with diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser if style is worn for several weeks
    Do not keep styles in too long โ€“ most protective styles should be removed around the 6โ€“8 week mark to avoid matting and breakage

    We can also recommend in-salon scalp detox for natural hair or moisture treatments between installs.
