How to Prepare Your Hair for Your Braiding Appointment

Getting braids is an exciting way to refresh your look, protect your natural hair, and feel confident. A little preparation before your appointment helps your style look its best and last longer.

1. Start With Clean Hair

Please arrive with clean hair and a clean scalp. Wash away product buildup, oils, and dirt before your appointment. Clean hair gives your braids a neater finish and helps your scalp feel more comfortable.

2. Detangle Before You Arrive

Gently detangle your hair from the ends to the roots. This helps make the braiding process smoother and saves time during your appointment. If your hair is very tangled, let us know before booking.

3. Avoid Heavy Products

Try not to use heavy oils, grease, or thick styling creams before your appointment. Too much product can create buildup and make it harder for the braids to stay neat.

4. Bring Your Inspiration

Have a photo of the style you want. Whether you love knotless braids, box braids, boho braids, cornrows, or stitch braids, inspiration photos help us understand your desired size, length, and color.

5. Arrive on Time

Braiding appointments can take several hours depending on the style. Arriving on time helps us give your hair the care and attention it deserves.
