Knotless Braids Maintenance: Scalp Care & Night Time Routine

[@ejbarnes4871]

Today i got Knotless age 52 haven't had my hair braided since i was 15 yrs old. Did it during the summer months. I feel bald its so freah thankful to see all the comments on how one felt getting the. I got them because my husband is taking me to Barbados and I wanted a island feel and my twin adult suggested Knotless. I feel alive. I have been natural for 4 yrs. So this is pivotal moment for me. Going out of my comfort zone. Thank you E and all those that offered great tips and suggestions. Amazing the items they now have sleep wear, shower wear to make have braids convenient & fun. Its not a burden or regret. I already had one of your two hair product suggestions. It pays to do research. I hart 💜 y'all ‼️💯👍

[@gracekillackey1899]

Thanks!

[@janerogers616]

I had knotless braids for 2 months and I washed my scalp and hair because I sweat. It wasn’t an issue at all really. Yes the braids were heavy when they got wet but the drying time was incredibly fast. I think 45 minutes tops and my entire head was dry.

I would love to wash my braids when it’s time. Was it difficult?

[@janerogers616]

Dawn Stevens Nope. You will use more shampoo. But I would concentrate on your scalp. When you rinse it out let the shampoo run down the length of your braids as you are rinsing it out.

[@jessicahuggins1394]

@@janerogers616 How do you keep the braids looking neat after washing?

[@janerogers616]

Jessica Huggins The only issue I had was my new growth. But I was fine with it looking a little frizzy. It added to the boho vibe for me.

[@allthtjazziness]

Yessss! I always feel “ bald” when I first get them done. Thanks for explaining the feeling lol.

[@beaubeauknows3620]

I use the head and shoulders scalp elixir when i have braids and i would wipe my scalp w/ witch hazel every 2 weeks or so

[@scar4life]

And ur hair grow from using those things?

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

How often did you use the head and shoulders

[@jacquelines3685]

OMG!!!! THANKS!!! I'm getting my first set of knotless braids in the morning! Was wondering how I was going to sleep! I have a Black 100% silk pillow case & I'm going to do your nighttime routine. Thanks so much!!💖 I love Italy so much...my husband and I traveled all over Europe for a month! It was AWESOME!😊

[@rheaflowers9]

There’s also some bonnets specific for braids that I found on Amazon too! I have three that I keep my braids in when I’m home and not going anywhere.

[@lachantee]

I've been using a really large bonnet for my knotless braids at night

[@Taurus42-l8l]

Braid and shower bonnets really works

[@somrjrose]

Where do you get your very large bonnet from?

[@tiffanyfaison5497]

@@somrjrose Target has them for about $6

[@miss2unpredictable]

@@somrjrose I got a bonnet off Amazon that’s HUGE. It’s for people with long dreads and it works wonders.

[@michellegreenaway1555]

Keyshia Cole has Satin hair bonnets that are made for long braids. I bought it from Amazon. It works great.

[@marielouisebradley2765]

I have had my crotchet braids for just over 2 wks now I use a satin bonnet to put my braids up when I go to bed and I have a extra large shower cap I use when I'm going for a shower

[@thedadadon]

I really appreciate how thorough and informative you are with giving tips. Love this channel! 💫👌🏽

[@EbonysCurlyTV]

Thank you so much!

[@indimusiq]

Here's a tip. Go to a salon, have them split the braids in two sections where the braids hang over the sides of the sink. At that point they can shampoo and condition your scalp. Take your preferred oils/ creams, apply to scalp, sit under the dryer 10-15 mins, and let air dry if needed.

[@PurpleHeadedMonster]

To shower, i put my hair in a plastic bag and tie it at front. I may use a clip or pin to keep the tie from undoing and shower freely.

[@ejbarnes4871]

I purchased a swim cap especially for braids. LoL

[@crochetbabe829]

Wow!! Your braids look so good and done professionally. If I could find someone to do mine, I'd get them done. They scream black ethnicity ... which is what I want. Very Beautiful.

[@JessicaS620]

They do make shower caps especially for braids now. Local beauty supply should have it.

[@5683brit]

Try bees wax for your edges! Worries like a charm and mixes well with the oil to

[@myrandomrants]

B E A U T I F U L ✨ 🙋🏾 I have the same issue with my edges...nothings lasts more than an hour 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@jacobarchambault6830]

Def helped me out with the oil because I wasn’t sure it was beneficial

[@tarablackston6656]

I use a braid bonnet at night. Very convenient and comfortable. I forget where I got mine but Amazon has them

[@Ltise1980]

there are satin scarfs that hang down and are made for braids.

[@Madyson.1234]

Hey! I wanted to know if I am allowed to get knotless braids as a Latina because they are very beautiful and a good protective hairstyle.

[@ejbarnes4871]

LoL you asked allowed.... girlfriend if you want them Get'em. Do you Girl. I remember finding out some 23 yrs ago that white girls were getting weaves, sew ins. So go get you some Knotless chica. You got them ‼️💯👍

[@musicalsapphire9456]

Omg that pillow idea was the smartest thing! I’m definitely using that! Thank you, miss! 😊❤

[@midapita]

Omg hi fellow Engene lol

[@touristtea6076]

Yes, I always get my braids 2 or 3 weeks ahead of a trip so the braids flow better and my scalp is not soooooo exposed. I have the worlds biggest parts 😂🙄.

[@ejbarnes4871]

I'm going to Barbados and I thought about getting them done 2 wks in advance I didn't want them to be fresh. Thanks for confirming my decision LoL 👍💯

[@101falcon]

Thank you so much for this. I'm getting braids for the first time at the end of the week and I'm stressing hard about how to maintain and sleep with them.

[@TooMuchMiracle]

I wash my hair with an applicator bottle I put shampoo and conditioner in it and apply it right on my scalp

[@marleed6532]

You look gorgeous and your braids are holding up good. It still looks new! Btw I went and got knotless braids, thanks for the tips.

[@ymonerea]

Wow! I've done the night time routine for the frizzies, but never thought about the satin pillowcase. Can't wait to sleep without worries about the braids.

[@jazzylady5245]

I have a satin bonnet that's long for braids they sale them at your local hair store.

[@evelynsantana5462]

i use my bonnet & scarf when I shower to protect my braids.

[@mieishascott2174]

Very helpful. I’m getting long braids for the first time and was curious as to how I was going to sleep with them. Nice shower tip too. I’d probably add a shower cap to the bun and a scarf around edges to be safe. We’ll see. Thanks, great video

[@dawnakachinastevens]

Thank you. I ordered the products you use as I just had the knotless box braids done today. I have growing dandruff and it seemed nothing t I used was working. I will give this a try.

[@RondaSmith144Empress]

E your braids look beautiful especially with our natural frizz. Your dress is gorg and I'm going to Italy too! Looking forward to the food, culture and especially the shopping😍

[@CallielaurenI]

The beauty supply has braid bonnets and shower caps. I know I’m a year late 😩

[@marteinaalieze2283]

That’s exactly what I do when I’m going to sleep I got them for the first time and was jus worried about sleeping So I jus got the idea to wear my durag to stop the top of my hair n edges from frizzing Then I got my xxlarge bunnet and let the braids jus sit in it and it’s sooo easy and I sleep like a baby

[@rondas7772]

Yep that's what I do

[@mts554]

Ladies, please, I wear braids once a year and I wash my hair every week. The best way to keep your hair moist after washing is by spraying with leave in conditioner, massage your scalp use good products. I don’t really understand when women say that they don’t wash their braids, higiene is important ladies!!!!!! Make sure your braids smell great, avoid oils as these smell after a while because braids are synthetic (common sense right?) And one precious advice ask your hairdresser not to tighten your hair, because that what’s cause breakage and damages the hair root. Sleeping it’s not a problem for me, a pull the to the back and voila not a rocket science. 🧐🤨🤔🤪

[@Bea.0v0]

hey! i just found your video and it was super helpful! i have curly hair that just hasn’t been growing because my hair is so fine 😭 and i did used to braid my hair, but since everyone was getting mad at white people with box braids, i switched to dreadlock extensions. it’s been helping my hair a lot but my scalp has been suffering a bit😩. in the dread community there isn’t the same focus on scalp and your natural hair care as there is with protective styling. i’m so glad i found your video and im e v to find the products and try them out for my scalp ♥️

[@lifeascassandra5758]

That’s a great idea if your braids are really long.

[@CupcakeGirl7201]

A lot of people say the knotless ones are lighter than regular box braids😱
