Braids Renewal. How To Straighten Braids | Cindy Sandjo

I made this video because I've seen a ton of people with braids that leave their ends looking rough. I always have the urge to tell them exactly what they can do to make them look nice again, but I never get the courage to do so. Now that I have the opportunity to showcase my knowledge, I hope this tutorial helps many of you to look fabulous, all of the time.
It was really hard to let my hair get this rough, but I really wanted to make this video, so I did!
PLEASE be very careful when handling the boiling water. If it is your first time, I advise you ask someone else for help. If you are young, ask an adult for help. You can easily burn yourself handling hot water.
Enjoy!
What will you need:
2 towels
1 pair of scissors (if you want to trim your ends)
1 pitcher
1 kettle (or anything to boil water)
*Keep your braids straight when dipping in the water
*Towel dry pulling down
*DO NOT blow dry, it will melt the braids. Just towel dry and air dry, it's really quick to dry.

Question? what happens if once the braids dry they get frizzy on the ends?

[@Samantha-jo919]

This part

[@kankan244]

Very nice tutorial. Great explanation and tips. Thanks!💕

[@cleostarshine]

Hot water does not damage your hair. Your scalp, yes. You hair, no. Flat irons are hotter then boiling water, think about it. And even a flat would have to be overused before it causes damage. No one is dipping their hair Every day, which you would have to dip Everyday to cause even a little damage 🤔

[@victorias4648]

Good tip i didn't think about a flat iron

[@OGxsixela]

Dipping natural hair into boiling water will absolutely damage it wtf kind of advice is this 😂

[@ayannjohnsonholloway8222]

Can I uncurl curly braids

[@GoldenRainbow1987]

Hi! Wonderful video! I just wanted to make sure this is ok to re-seal hair of the ends are scraggly or if you want to straighten them out more?

[@OuroBoros1125]

Thank you! ☺️

[@oluwaseyisview6297]

I tried this and it didn't work for my braid so I tried ironing it( funny I know) but it didn't work. it only got worse

[@CindySandjo]

esan oluwaseyi oh noo! Ironing it will only melt the hair! 😖. If it didn't work then it's the type of hair that you got. Some hair take work well.

[@oddray]

You can use a towel between the braids and the iron, so they don't melt.

[@oluazeez5064]

Thanks Cindy it worked!

[@cleo3271]

An angel thank you

Will this work with pre-made synthetic braids??

[@rose-andreecastor6271]

I actually did my hair for first time and I wanted to ask you do u bowl the water or do u heat it up please answer me

[@CindySandjo]

Hi Rose! I boil the water.

[@kirbihoward5595]

So my ends were too think so I tried scissor trimming them. But after dipping them they are still to think. What can I do?

[@nelliejamis7770]

Wow

[@dgothicgurl]

I got my box braids done a couple of days ago & my ends are getting frizzy again. They were dipped once I initially had them done. But I was wondering can I dip my ends again?

[@CindySandjo]

Yeah Ma'am! you can dip them as much as you'd like! just be careful! :)

[@dgothicgurl]

Cindy Sandjo thank you so much! & I will😊😁

[@rosemarymonique]

I have hair accessories in my hair. Should I take those out before re dipping them?

[@prinduplayzx]

Rosemary Moore-Cooper it depends on the material

[@bruh-dd3tb]

you should model you’re so ethereal

[@queenmyasing]

How often should you dip? I got my hair done yesterday and I was just wondering could I dip again the next day

[@CindySandjo]

Hi Queen! 👑 May I ask why you’d want to dip it the next day? when you see your ends getting more frizzy then you like, dip it.

[@queenmyasing]

Cindy Sandjo i just be paranoid the braids gone unravel 🤣🤣 I’m new to this

[@theluxegirl]

If I accidentally dip some of my hair in it will my hair be ok? I just used really hot water from the sink I didn't actually boil

[@CindySandjo]

Hi Felicia! Your hair should be Ok! I've done it many times on accident. We would just rather not put too much heat on our hair.

[@fakeapplestore4710]

you're beautiful cindy

[@CindySandjo]

+Elexie Munyeneh thank you!! ❤❤

[@okumuonso1819]

[@boruto9794]

what type of hair do you use?

[@CindySandjo]

Hi Aleisha! I use 100% kanekalon hair.

[@michelegibson1067]

Hello! How do I go about straighten them to dip them in the hot water? Mine are really frizzy. Thank you

[@CindySandjo]

Michele Gibson I'm not sure I understand your question fully. But I will attempt to answer. If the ends of your braids are frizzy, You want to boil some water, and carefully dip the tips of your braids. Take it out with a towel in hand and immediately wrap with the towel so that the water does not touch you. Just like I did in the video.

[@michelegibson1067]

Hi! In the video you say make sure the braids are straight.. in the video it looks like yours are way more straight than mine.. so I was wondering if you did or added anything before dipping them in water

[@michelegibson1067]

Cindy Sandjo and can you add hot oil to braiding hair???

[@CindySandjo]

Michele Gibson oh okay. So when I say "make sure the braids are straight" I mean just run your fingers through then and make sure they are not tangled or matted within each other. I would not recommend putting any oils on your braids. The best practice is to put your regular moisturizer on your scalp and hair before you get it braided. If you have to wash your hair maybe 3 weeks into have the braids, just reapply your regular moisturizer to your roots.

[@michelegibson1067]

Cindy Sandjo thank you that was very helpful

[@moneefloyd6009]

can i dip synthetic hair in hot water BEFORE i do box braids?

[@CindySandjo]

Hi Mone, What are you trying to achieve by doing this?

[@dejeaniisanders]

[@khamaolisankhani4328]

[@victoriaanthony4004]
