Shop Braid MaintenanceThe simple maintenance schedule
Nightly
Wrap the style
Use satin or silk to reduce friction and preserve the roots and hairline.
2–3× weekly
Check the scalp
Apply lightweight moisture only where the scalp feels dry.
As needed
Refresh the finish
Use mousse sparingly for flyaways and a light sheen product for polish.
Keep braids fresh
Dry the scalp
Let sweat evaporate and avoid covering a damp scalp.
Avoid over-styling
Repeated tight ponytails can stress delicate edges.
Dry completely
Focus cleansing on the scalp and thoroughly dry the roots afterward.
