Professional Braiding Techniques We Use
All the great plaits begin with an unharmed point. Our professionals adhere to the exact methods, ensuring that all styles are clean and durable to keep your hair safe:
- Proper Sectioning and Scalp Preparation
We will start by rubbing the hair in superficial distribution and the scalp using natural oil or moisturizers. This is not only preventative of tension but also healthy for hair growth.
- Gentle Tension and Secure Braiding
Braids must not be painful. The stylist weaves the pattern tightly so it doesn’t get lost, but loosely enough to avoid irritating or breaking the scalp. We are always concerned about comfort.
- Hydration Throughout the Process
During processing, our stylists apply leave-in conditioners and lightweight oils to keep your hair hydrated. They ensure your hair stays moisturized while being fastened.
- Neat Finishing and Sealing Ends
Depending on the style that you want, we use either hot water sealing or professional finishing materials to seal the ends. This keeps your braids in a good state and long.
