Welcome to Part 4 of 4 of my guide on Soft, Undone Fishtail Braids.

Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
For long-term color gloss preservation, I recommend getting regular trims every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and breakage.
Additionally, use a color-depositing mask once a week to keep your color looking vibrant and healthy.
For bond-building care, I recommend using a pre-shampoo treatment once a week to help repair and restore your hair’s natural moisture barrier.
Follow up with a nourishing deep conditioning treatment once a month to keep your hair looking healthy and strong.
