An Easy Daily Regimen for Healthy Braids By JENELL B STEWART

Wearing your hair in braided extensions is the ultimate protective style. However, just because your hair is braided does not mean that your hair and

scalp don’t need care and attention.  Never neglect your natural hair.

Reach for  a water-based spritz, like my favorite, the EverButter Lovely Curl Moisturizing Spray followed by sealing with an oil.  This method allows for sufficient moisture without contributing to meshing, loc-ing, or severe product buildup.  Heavier products, especially thick butters, can build up near the roots and facilitate meshing or loc-ing, especially in kinkier strands.

You can comfortably spritz and seal your hair daily or every other day, depending on what your hair requires.  If you miss a few days, don’t worry too much, but don’t go beyond 5 days if you can avoid it because protective styling can be damaging if you’re not giving your natural hair proper care.
