What To Do Before Your Braid Appointment | Hair Tips

[@deaunnajonae]

As a braider I love to talk! Love a cooperative client and one who communicates with me. If you gone be late cool.. hungry? Cool .. gotta pee? Okay cool.. just let me know !!! You gave some great tips ❤️

[@BraidsByPuffQueenKayla]

I'm a self taught natural braider . I know my niche and I enjoy what I do . My clients come washed and detangled; then I do my part . I'm looking for ways to improve but so far it's been teamwork with my clients and I.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

You gave us tips on preparing to get your hair braided, then the adorableness that is baby Aza and then the "prepare to be sick of me." That's some quality editing. Also I always make sure that I have something to read if someone is going to be doing my hair.❤

[@chiedzamutiro3182]

When I am visiting a stylist for braids I always do one slow pass with a flat iron after my blow dry. I do it because if I don’t by the time I get there my hair will have reverted then the stylist has to blow dry my hair again and charge me extra. So I might as well use the extra heat. To preserve the stretch I then do two low ponytails and plait the ends like with pigtails then criss cross them and pin to make a simple updo. I usually wait at least 2 days after prepping my hair before getting my braids. I have a tender scalp and doing it this way ensures little to no pain. When it’s time for my appointment my hair will have reverted to the state it’s in after a really good blow dry session. Parting is a breeze and when the stylist combs each small section before braiding the comb just glides through easily without any snagging.

[@marywilson4218]

This video is so relatable. Good to know you still moisturize your hair before you get braided up. I see some stylists asking that we don't moisturize 😲

[@Lifeewithfaith]

All these tips are definitely so good to consider and I agree with making sure your ends are trimmed it will definitely help to prevent the stylist from having to spend more time than needed on detangling thank you for these helpful tips 😊

[@astoldbyaja3010]

Thank you for this. I have only ever gotten crochet in my hair but always wanted to try knotless braids and I am getting this done Sunday! Growing up in a relaxed house hold, protective styles were never discussed because the relaxer did it all, but now that i'm older and on the journey to enjoy my hair in it's rawest state you really gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone!

[@marvinandjosh1]

Just got some braids installed a few days ago. Soooo glad for the break. Love your braids! Great tips. The main thing is to make sure your hair is thoroughly detangled and easy to part.

[@aquariusqueen]

Great tips! I absolutely love braids!I've been wearing braids since I was a little girl, I'm 47 now. My braider call me the braid queen. I've do all the tips except using the heat protection when I blow dry, I always use a leave in. I'll be using a heat protector from now on also.

[@HoneyPot624]

Getting braids tomorrow for the first time in my adult life (got them once when I was 9, only lasted a day 😂). So glad I saw this video. I just got my ends clipped last week. And the salon includes shampoo/deep conditioning with their services and gives the option for them to provide the hair for an additional $15 which I don’t think is bad, b/c I got crotchets a couple months ago and I bought the hair but my stupid self left it home and had to go back and get it! 😂 And this salon will wash the hair for you. So thankfully I don’t have to worry about any of that. Y’all pray for me b/c I can deal with just about anything except a bad headache lol

[@prettystreetchic]

These braiders don’t want you to put anything on your hair while blow drying! That’s crazy! That’s why I don’t respect them as actual stylists! Lol I definitely use a leave in and heat protectant anyway! 😂😂😂

[@Nae2Curly]

Seeee and I didn’t even realize that! Wow. Oh naw naw we protecting and keeping the hair moisturized okay! I can see if your hair is greasy or too oily but still

[@CharTurner6928]

Based on all the women I see who have braids but no edges, way too many braiders don't care about the health of their client's hair.

[@mroblige1018]

Ayo this woman is a goddess. Whatever she going through mentally, spiritually, physically I'd do my best to be by her side and help pull her through... She gorgeous

[@kemi.a.2000]

Those are nice tips. I rest my hair for two days dry and moisturized. I braid my hair myself. Takes me two days.😊

[@SuperDiamond009]

So washing your hair two days before getting your hair done is okay ?

[@whitneyyrose]

girl this is the best video I’ve seen on this personally, so helpful…

[@Karawitha.K]

Not me getting them tips a day before my hair appointment,Grab products and sheers on the way to the bathroom!

[@KindNurseBeauty]

Right! My appointment is 3 days away and I’m washing it tomorrow but I’m also going to tap these ends again!

[@lisasmilez]

As a hairstylist I truly appreciate these tips!! This video was hilarious but also real.

[@margaretpryce845]

As I braider. Thank you. This is very good important tips for those who want to braid there hair. And if for any reason they have forgotten to buy their just ask the braider if she have any. And if it's the colour their wanted. It will cost a little more but you will save time and you don't have to stressed out

[@lauranewman8849]

Tomorrow is my first time and this was the first video I picked! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@dr.daniellewinfrey]

New subbie ❤😊 I’ve had Locs for the last 7 years and today is my first ever knotless braids appointment. I feel prepared. Thank you so much for this! Your braids are gorgeous. 🥰

[@daciadrummond1982]

Janae, as always, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I find this list very helpful since I'm flirting with the idea of getting my hair braided after more than 10 years.

[@lul.a_7755]

i’m mixed but my parents haven’t taught me much of culture and i’ve always wanted my hair braided. i was always told hairstyles shouldn’t be more than $25. i’m going to be a sophomore and i worked for money to get my hair braided for the first time and this help a lot !

[@jessicavirgo9842]

This video popped up on my feed right on time! I'm getting braids in a few weeks for the 1st time ever 😍.

[@DymondAzania]

Thank you for these tips 💗just got my hair braided not too long ago but I will keep these tips in mind for the summer

[@deidrabulger67]

The person that braids my hair likes fresh clean hair no product at all. I like that you said maintain moisturized hair. Because since I can't put anything in my hair I need to make it is moisturized

[@kenyaasurrenderedvesselrpa8874]

[@xo_xiomara_xo]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been natura for 12 years and I’ve been considering braids cause mama needs a break! I found a nice salon and I’m so nervous bc I want to be prepped and a good customer. This will be my first time getting braids, professionally. I. THANK. YOU. This will be on repeat until it’s engraved in my braid. Also, could you do a video on what to do when taking out the braids.

[@TheJessicaJenay]

I get my braids done today and I can’t have any product in my hair, but hopefully heat protect doesn’t count as product! This was very comical while being informal because I felt this! Love you Nae!! 💜

[@kuroe-chan5190]

😂😂 this was amazing Janae. Loved all your tips. And your hair is gorgeous That’s was me! I almost forgot my hair too! My appt is tomorrow Friday at 3pm…it’s 5pm now and I’m in front of the store…pray I find what I need. I wanted to get a good trim tommorow before braids but it’s already so late do t want to hold us up. Hoping by the next one. And you princess is absolutely adorable.

[@kisharivers7709]

I usually buy my hair the day I make the appointment so I won't forget😊. I would totally show at the braid shop without the hair, smh; and I keep it in the trunk😊..lol I used to get braids faithfully but lately I've been feeling like braiders that I go to used too much braid hair for my knotless braids and it takes forever. I don't have the patience anymore, but I do like having that break from styling.

[@briana14333]

Janae! You’re so beautiful and hilarious! Thank you for these tips! Luckily my stylist provides snacks and beverages, but I still bring my own, jic. Definitely gonna use heat protectant with my blow dry from now on 🙏🏾

[@jeanninegorden8142]

My stylist that I use fo rextensions washes and conditions my hair. She is a hairstylist, not a braider so I think that is the difference. In the past I went to braiders at braid shops and I had to come in the way Janae describes.

[@vey5579]

Just in time! I’m just now considering getting my hair ever professionally braided in my LIFE.

[@twill1007]

Is there any real benefit to blowing your hair out before braids, I’ve only heard it helps them last longer. I’ve definitely had braids without a blowout that lasted 2 months with a re-touch in between 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@dianestrother8497]

Blow drying isn’t necessary. I wouldn’t do it, my braids last 2 months

This is good but something I had never thought about too. Also, don't be afraid to day something, if you need to, to your stylist about discomfort from the braids or otherwise.

[@Nae2Curly]

Thisssss👏🏾👏🏾 that’s so true

[@KelliM]

Great tips. I love to wash, trim, and deep condition my hair the night before my appointment. I work at night so I try to make myself get sleep so I won’t doze off in the chair, but it still happens. And luckily I go to a salon that provides the hair so I don’t forget it or run out. And I love that they prep it so it doesn’t itch.
