Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
One of the things I love about the waterfall braid is how easy it is to maintain.
Since it’s a low-maintenance style, you can simply air-dry the hair and go about your day.
But if you do want to add a bit of extra shine and definition, I recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, and getting regular trims to prevent split ends.
Of course, the key to keeping a waterfall braid looking its best is to take good care of the hair.
I recommend getting regular trims to prevent split ends, and using a bond-building treatment once a week to keep the hair strong and healthy.
And don’t forget to use a light hold hairspray to keep the braid in place all day!
