Oiling your braids is the best way to maintain your braid. After moisturizing your scalp with some spritz, and follow up with an oil, it keeps you from having to moisturize daily and helps preserve the hair underneath. apply coconut or olive oil on the edges to reduce the pressure and ease the tension.  . Unrefined Shea butter is also great for moisturizing the hair when it is braided.Spray a little water to your roots. This will help keep them strong and provide moisture.Avoid unnatural products when moisturizing.Only use natural oils on your braids. Opt for coconut oil as it soothes the scalp and doesn’t block your pores.
If your braids are super frizzy, use foam before you go to sleep & wrap hair.
