Maintenance

 

Do you want your new hair to last up to 8 weeks? Of course you do. We are here to share all the tips and tricks you need to make this possible.

First and foremost you will need to get yourself a bonnet, durag or hair net. Don’t panic if you’re unable to get one, you can protect your hair the old school way - using a pair of tights. You might feel ridiculous going to bed with a pair of tights on your head, but when you wake up in the morning and your hair still looks as good as new, it will all be worth it.

The whole purpose of protective hairstyles is to protect your hair and let it grow, so for that reason make sure to keep your hair moisturised. This can be done by using leave-in conditioners, hair creams and oils on your scalp in that order.

When you get your new hair the first thing you want to do is try all sorts of styles and take as many selfies as you can. But if the style is too tight and its pulling on your delicate baby hairs, this is not protective - it’s the opposite. Try a different style with a little less tension.
