Always Have Amazing Micro Braids
The good news is that your micro-braid extensions are easy to care for. The bad news is that most of the time, you have to do it yourself. It’s best to know how to maintain micro braids; some ways to do so is by:
Always deep condition after shampooing
Every time you wash your hair, you’re removing the protective coating that keeps your hair healthy. In order to not remove this protective layer, you would need to deep condition your hair after every wash. Deep conditioning will help to repair the damage done by the shampoo and conditioning products you used, it will also help your hair to take in moisture from the deep conditioner and keep it from evaporating into the air.
Protective Products
After conditioning, use a protective styling product or oil on your micro braids. You can choose between shampoos or leave-in conditioners that have protein in them that will help to repair the fibers and seal them against humidity and other elements.
Consistent Care
You must take good care of your micro braids by conditioning them on a regular basis and styling them at least twice a week. Although this does not seem like much work, it is important to remember that consistent care will make the difference between healthy-looking hair and damaged hair.
Talk with a Stylist
Most of the time, getting in touch with a reliable salon or hairstylist is a way to care for your hair. Stylists know the different types of products and hair out there. For this reason, they are able to give some inputs or straightforward tips on how to maintain micro braids and make them look and feel good for a longer time.
