HOW TO CLEAN BOX BRAIDS | REMOVE ALL DANDRUFF & BUILD-UP

[@dhwanipatel1914]

I love how all of us POC women are so naturally talking about flakes and dry scalp without feeling judged. This western media/culture really made me feel “lesser than” for having flakes and dry scalp

Where on earth did you see people with dandruff or scalp issues are made to feel less than.

[@stephanyspencer2008]

Sis, you just SAVED MY BRAIDS. Not even a week in with my first ever set of braids and I was so desperate to cut them out and never do it again. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU.

[@AnemeKun]

i'm shook. The last time i had braids - i deadass just let them get crunchy and didn't wash it and used all the dry shampoo in the world. I saw this video and bought (for the first time) a metal pick and an edge comb. Bet your booty I clicked those links and got some lavender oil and that head and shoulders spray. (I hope you're getting a kick back for the promotion.) If I watched your video at 430pm - by 11pm I was doing the routine. GUYS - this really works! and it was a fantastic self care break that I intend on doing once a week. Using the pic to upend the flakes is a great scalp massage and the DANDRUFF IS ALMOST ALL GONE. I'm so stoked. A great way to refresh my box braids and treat my dry dry scalp

[@godofgaming3590]

My knees wobbled you you started scratching your scalp with the pick. It’s been too long since I felt that. Thanks for the video, well needed!

[@Ravin2982]

OMG ! I suffer from dry scalp and I was looking for a way to clean my scalp with my box braids. This is my first time seeing the medal comb technique. Can’t wait to try this! Thank youuuu!!!

[@elisabef]

Did you try it yet? I too suffer from a dry scalp I think 😭

[@Ravin2982]

elizabeth ツ yes! It worked great for me. The only downside was doing it by myself. My arms were getting tired. Also, instead of putting the water, apple cider vinegar and essential oils in a bowl, I put it in a small spray bottle and shook it up and spray it between all the parts.

[@aladynamedSusan]

If you have any type of dermititis or dandruff or dry scalp I bet those metal things feel so good lifting all the dirt from your scalp!!!! Omg I felt better just watching her 🤣🤣🤣

Bout to do this right now, I did braids a couple days ago and I’m already getting flakes. Can’t bring myself to wash them cos they’re so fresh (I usually do wash braids weekly). FYI I’ve also heard using baby wipes is a good quick fix.

[@aladynamedSusan]

I used to braid my hair with synthetic hair. My flakes were so bad I'd have to unbraid my hair like every week to comb the dandruff out and rebraid just to keep my hair feeling fresh. Now that my hair is longer I do box braids using my own hair and the dandruff is still TERRIBLE. My braids are so fresh and pretty and the baby hairs is laid lol but already it's only been like 3 days dandruff is building. I loved this video. I feel like now I can lift the dandruff without breaking my hair and protecting fresh style. And when you was cleaning your hair with that solution it looked like it felt so good!!!! Great Video Beautiful!

I usually wear a scarf soon as my scalp and braids start flaking and getting itchy but felt like I'd look for a solution. Was abit doubtful as many things I've tried leave my hair frizzing out alot quicker. I done cider vinegar and tee tree oil only and my scalp feels refreshed, no frizzing and looks so clean!!

Ok I actually JUST followed this entire tut and it completely refreshed my jumbo twists using the rubber band method. Get the larger metal comb it feels like absolute heaven under my one month old twists. It does not disturb them or tangle anything (I was scared of that at first) I wish I was doing this every week this when I first got my twists (I probably wouldn’t have had so much dandruff) Nonetheless! This was an absolute savior honey! Thank you so much

I realized after about a week I needed help because my routine wasn’t working and I also learned I apparently have seborrheic dermatitis…yay. Not what you wanna find after you just got hair did. I found your video because hair and scalp health comes first and I didn’t want to give up on my style.

[@Jayariee]

By using your comb you may be actually lodging it under and in the braids and your hair, making the removal and detangle harder in the end. It's best to just wash for some especially smaller styles

[@YoursNaturally11]

Not true, its basically like exfoliating and since the comb is going through and through, it is detaching any build-up and dandruff adhered to the scalp. Water will actually make the scalp more irritated because sebum is oil and will only repel it; so without removing any initial build-up, you can actually cause a growth on your scalp because you aren't doing anything to dislodge what's already on it. When you fully wet box braids, or any protective style of that matter, they never completely dry. Tried and true method here.

[@bongowrld]

@@YoursNaturally11 if its good for growing lashes n brows i bet it would be good for growing ur hair too

[@YoursNaturally11]

Emily Kerryn definitely try it if you’d like; some people like it. I only like it for edges because it’s very heavy and can keep your hair from being moisturized because of its consistency. If anything try it on your ends to keep them lubricated for sure.

I dont do extensions, but how did you grow back your edges after you gave birth. I'm still struggling with mine after 15 months of postpartum. Please help!!!! Thanks

[@YoursNaturally11]

Postpartum hair loss is a natural process and it takes a little over a year for the body to fully recover from birth, so you're edges are probably growing in, but it may be taking a little longer because your body is just recovering. The best thing to do is to stimulate the scalp by massaging everyday, don't use any tension on your edges (no pulled back styles) and take a daily vitamin.
