Are you getting braids for the first time? At Emi Glow Braids, we want to ensure you have the best experience possible. Here’s how to prepare for your appointment!

1. Clean and Condition Your Hair

Arrive with freshly washed hair, free from any product build-up. This helps the braids last longer and keeps your scalp healthy.

2. Moisturize

Deep condition your hair a few days before your appointment to keep it hydrated. Use a leave-in conditioner to ensure your hair is in its best state.

3. Detangle Thoroughly

Detangling makes the braiding process smoother and prevents discomfort. Use a wide-tooth comb to work through knots carefully.

4. Avoid Heavy Oils and Styling Products

Products like heavy oils can make braiding difficult and cause buildup. Use lightweight moisturizers instead.

5. Be Ready for Time in the Chair

Depending on the braid style, appointments can range from 2-8 hours. Bring a book, earbuds, or something to keep you entertained.
