Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
To preserve the color gloss of your Dutch braid, try using a color-depositing shampoo and conditioner.
For long-term color preservation, try a color-depositing treatment once a week.
For salon trim intervals, try to get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to maintain a healthy, braid-friendly length.
For bond-building care, try using a bond-building treatment once a week to maintain a healthy, strong hair structure.
For long-term care, try to limit heat styling to once a week and use a heat protectant spray to prevent damage.
