As opposed to synthetic braiding hair, which tends to have chemicals or treatments that can itch, irritate, or dry out the scalp, human hair is more natural and generally kinder to the scalp. Its softer feel decreases friction, making it less likely to irritate the scalp when worn.
But sensitivity may also be caused by the braiding technique. Braids that are too tight or put too much pressure can tug on the scalp and cause pain, bumps, or even hair loss, depending on the hair type used. To reduce irritation, one has to avoid installing the braids too tightly and to employ light styles that don't put unnecessary tension on the scalp.
Scalp moisturizing with lightweight leave-in conditioners or oils prevents dryness and itching as well. Frequent gentle shampooing of the braids keeps the scalp clean and at ease.

One big reason human hair braiding hair gets frizzy is moisture in the air. Humidity makes the hair cuticle swell and leads to frizz. This shows more if the hair was treated with chemicals. Such treatments take away the hair’s natural oils.
Friction causes frizz, too. Rubbing against clothes, pillows, or other hair can fray and create flyaways. Loose braids cause frizzy hair if not sealed or kept right.
Lack of moisture and bad care routines lead to frizz. Human hair needs regular wetness to stay smooth and shiny. Using oils, conditioners, or mousse helps control frizz and keeps hair neat.
To cut down frizz, use things like silk scarves at night and anti-frizz products, and avoid too much handling. Regular care, like trimming stray hairs and fixing loose braids, helps... less

Braiding hair is usually under tension, friction, and the weight of numerous styling products; therefore, a regimen must be adhered to in order to keep it from drying up and becoming fragile.
1. Regular Moisturization
Moisturizing will help keep human hair braiding hair soft. Use a light leave-in conditioner or moisturizing spray every day or every other day. Water-based formulations are preferred, as they hydrate without placing buildup onto the hair.
2. The Application Of Natural Oils
Natural oils applied to the hair, such as argan oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil, seal in moisture and add some shine. Concentrate on the ends since they tend to dry out faster. Avoid anything too heavy that could weigh the hair down.
3. The Avoidance Of Harsh Products
Do not use alcohol-based or sulfate-laden shampoos and styling gels that can strip moisture. Rather, use sulfate-free shampoos and mild cleansers whenever you wash your... less

Humidity is a big reason for frizz in braids. Damp air makes hair take in water. This causes hair to swell and get frizzy. Curly and wavy hair frizzes more often. To stop this, use anti-frizz stuff like serums, oils, or mousse. They can help keep hair smooth.
Rubbing is another cause of frizz. As braids rub against clothes, pillows, or stuff, hair can look less smooth. Use a satin or silk bonnet or a silk pillowcase while sleeping. This lessens rubbing and keeps braids neat for longer.
Frizz also comes from daily wear and tear. Human hair acts like natural hair. It can tangle, shed, and get dry. This can make braids look frizzy. Moisturize braids often with a light leave-in conditioner or oil to keep hair wet and less frizzy.

Different techniques would be required, being that human hair cannot melt unlike synthetic hair. The following are some of the really effective methods.
1. Hair Glue Or Bonding Adhesive
Small amounts of hair bonding glue should, at a point, be put on the ends of the braids. After braiding, put a small drop of glue to the tip and roll with a finger. Allow drying completely before styling.
2. Knotting Ends
A straightforward and natural way by which human braiding hair can be secured is by tying little knots at the ends. That way would best apply to styles like box braids or micro braids. Ensure that it will be tight enough to avoid loosening.
3. Thread Wrapping
The wrapping-up ends with a tiny clear elastic band or thread is another option for style. This wraps it as well, commonly used for bohemian or goddess braids, where a natural finish is needed.
