BOHO BRAIDS & BEACH WAVY BRAIDS
1. Protection Against Frizz
• Use a satin scarf or bonnet to prevent the waves from tangling.
• Lightly mist your hair with water and a leave-in conditioner (such as Fenty Hair Conditioner) to lock in moisture.
• When braiding, divide your hair into two sections and braid carefully.
2. Maintaining the Waves
• Use a mousse, curl refresher, or Fenty Conditioner for extra definition.
• Scrunch the curls upward or use a diffuser to keep the waves looking neat.
• Avoid rubbing the loose strands to prevent frizz.
3. Washing Your Hair
• Cleanse your scalp with diluted shampoo to prevent buildup.
4. Drying Technique
• Gently pat your hair dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing, to avoid tangling and breakage.
5. Extra Care When in Contact with Salt Water
• Salt water dries out your hair (as when swimming in the sea).
• After swimming: wash your hair with shampoo and follow up with a deep conditioning treatment.
6. Avoid Tight Ponytails
• If you wear your hair in a ponytail, make sure the front braids are a bit looser to prevent breakage and damage to your edges.
