How To Wash Braids | No Frizz No Dry Scalp Fast Drying

[@sherwood9917]

This is good. Many people are of the false idea that having braids means they can go months on end without cleansing their scalp. Scalp, like all skin, needs to be washed regularly.

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

I agree. I think most people are afraid of messing up their hair or just unaware that it’s possible to clean your scalp while wearing braids.

[@sherwood9917]

@@ShaniqueBuntyn A licensed cosmetologist made a post on Instagram, showing how she washes her clients' braids. Her comments section was filled with women telling her that dirt grows hair and that they often go more than 3 months without washing their hair. I can only imagine the funk.

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

@sherwood9917 whattttttt! 3 months! That’s a really long time

[@Ami-ml7gp]

​@@sherwood9917Thank you for this! I wish the false narrative that black hair doesn't need to be washed would die. People wouldn't go 3 months without taking a shower, so why do that with hair. Your scalp is skin that needs to be cleansed, which is why you focus on the scalp when washing the hair.

[@AlannaBoo524]

When I have braids I wash my scalp every week. I can’t go without!

[@vickyv8519]

OMG ! Only an afrikaan can handle that braids. Being a man,It's very difficult for me to control the flakes formation even with short hair. Once I had grown my hair long and i had to wash them wid shampoo in every 3 days. So just gave up.But I like your braids. They look good only on black hair. Some ppl wid blonde or red hair doesn't look that good. Here in India we see Saints in Kashi doing hairs. They wash it wid Soapberry. It's so satisfying to watch u .❤❤❤❤

Another thing. Ruwa has a braiding hair called aquatex. It’s more water resistant and fast drying. Perfect for vacation braids it doesn’t absorb as much and dries super quick.

[@conversegurl0128]

I think this must be very individualized because if i wet my braids let along soak my hair in a shower my scalp becomes frizzy and my braids look worse than when they started. Plus all the short hairs just come right out. I just take my braids out. I don’t keep them long enough to make washing it worth it. I guess you gotta have a certain length and hair texture.

[@aspiring...]

I was just thinking about this. The braids become messy if you have tighter curls. I personally cannot wear braids for more than 3 weeks.

You saved me from taking my hair down. Thank you!

[@delindawilliams3935]

I love this. My problem is my extra sensitive skin. It's hair washing day and I can't shampoo in the shower or I'll have blisters on my skin from scratching after the shampoo and conditioner run down on me. Holding my head all the way forward creates issues with my back even when using the sink. Because of my hair type, my hair comes loose when water gets on it, and it's a long process to redo all of it, so I'll look at your braid-refreshing videos. If it's not one thing, it's another with hair washing day. Thanks for sharing.💖💖

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

How do you normally wash your hair?

[@delindawilliams3935]

@@ShaniqueBuntyn Over the sink now. Kneeling over the tub was too much, even with help. It's still not perfect but the best for now. I need a salon sink, that's the best for a bad back.

[@enderless6055]

Do you mean that you scalp is sensitive when you scratch? If so then that’s what happens when you scratch, it’s better to use a scalp massager so you don’t develop tiny cuts on your scalp causing your hair to itch more. Btw this happens cause your scalp is extra sensitive so a scalp massager is helpful since it’s made of silicone and it’s good for your scalp 😊

[@delindawilliams3935]

@@enderless6055 I have a scalp massager and I use it. I was talking about washing my hair in the shower, the products itches my body a lot, so scratching causes blisters on my body. I no longer wash my hair in the shower. I have sensitive skin and scalp.

[@cherryfriday932]

​@@delindawilliams3935 I suggest you change your products and find one which is friendly to your scalp. Please standing straight and letting shampoo run down your body is not health-wise for women especially.😊

This video is a godsend. I’m growing my hair back out and wanted to keep my hair in cornrows for the fall and winter, but I was worried about the condition of my scalp because I have my hair trained to be cleansed twice a week. What would you recommend for someone who doesn’t use oil or creams?

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

Hey I’m not sure if this method would work on cornrows. I plan to try it soon. If you normally don’t add anything to your scalp then I wouldn’t use any thing. You may irritate it. A lot of people use diluted apple cider vinegar to clean their scalp with a cloth. ( I personally haven’t tried that method) but there should be videos on KZbin.

Could never - hair instantly gets curly when water touches it

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

Does your braider tuck your hair? My hair get curly when wet but my braider does the tuck method so hair stays in place

[@janyacapel]

​@ShaniqueBuntyn what's the tuck method?

[@jacquelynjohnson4693]

CORRECT ✅

[@emoo2342]

@janyacapel It’s when they tuck the hair into the braiding hair as they braid it, so less or none of your hair is actually exposed once it’s done.

You can if you want to. But avoid getting it on your scalp. Conditioner gets stuck in the braids so you’ll be washing it out for a while. I just moisturize and seal after shampooing instead
