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.
