Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
Now that you’ve mastered the braid, let’s talk about how to care for your hair in the long term.
First, make sure to get regular trims every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and breakage.
Next, use a bond-building shampoo and conditioner to help repair and strengthen your hair.
Finally, try a hair mask once a week to help nourish and moisturize your hair.
When it comes to color gloss preservation, make sure to use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to help lock in your color.
Also, try using a color-depositing mask once a week to help maintain your color and add shine to your hair.
