Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol

For an at-home braiding routine, I recommend using a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair before braiding.

This will help prevent tangles and knots.

Making the braiding process much easier.

For a quick and easy braiding technique, try using a braiding spray or serum to help hold the braids in place.

This will also add shine and moisture to the hair.

Take a moment to review the proportions, textures, and timing notes on this page so each step adapts effortlessly to your own routine.

Preparing your core essentials and workspace before you begin ensures smooth, consistent results from start to finish.

Pay attention to subtle visual cues and finishing touches—small adjustments in balance and temperature elevate the final outcome.
