Maintaining your health while wearing natural hair braids involves a few key steps.
Avoid tight braiding, as it can cause tension and damage to your hair follicles and scalp.
Protect your hair and keep your braids moisturized by applying a lightweight oil or moisturizing spray to your scalp and braids as needed.
Be mindful of how long you keep your braids in; it's generally recommended to give your hair a break every 6-8 weeks to prevent excessive strain and promote healthy hair growth.
