Keep Your Braids Beautiful — Expert Care Tips from Lovetee’s BBraids and Beauty Supplies Brooklyn Center MN
You just got your braids done — and they look amazing! But how can you keep them fresh, shiny, and neat for as long as possible?
At Lovetee’s Braids & Beauty Supplies in Brooklyn Center, MN, we don’t just install beautiful braids — we help you maintain them the right way. Whether you’ve chosen knotless braids, box braids, twists, locs, or crochet, these simple tips will help your style stay flawless week after week.
1. Keep Your Scalp Moisturized
Braids protect your hair, but your scalp still needs love. Use a lightweight oil or braid spray 2–3 times per week to keep your scalp hydrated and prevent itching or flaking.
💡 Try natural oils like jojoba, coconut, or tea tree for extra nourishment.
2. Cleanse Gently Without Disrupting the Braids
Yes, you can (and should!) wash your braids. Use a diluted shampoo or a cleansing spray to remove dirt and buildup. Focus on your scalp rather than the braid lengths, and always let them dry completely to avoid mildew.
🧴 Pro Tip: Mix shampoo and water in a spray bottle — it makes cleansing much easier!
3. Protect Your Braids at Night
Friction is one of the biggest causes of frizz and tangling. Always sleep with a satin or silk bonnet, or use a satin pillowcase if you prefer to sleep without one.
This small habit helps your braids last longer and keeps your edges looking fresh.
4. Avoid Heavy Products
Using too many heavy creams or oils can cause buildup and weigh your braids down. Stick to light moisturizers or sprays to keep your hair and scalp clean, breathable, and light.
🚫 Avoid petroleum-based products or waxes that attract dust and clog pores.
5. Refresh Your Edges and Frizz
Even the neatest braids need a little touch-up after a few weeks. Use a soft edge control gel to keep your baby hairs smooth and tidy.
For flyaways or frizz, a light mousse can instantly revive your style.
✨ Bonus tip: Visit Lovetee’s for a braid refresh session — we’ll touch up the front rows so your style looks brand new!
6. Don’t Keep Braids in Too Long
We know they still look good after several weeks — but your natural hair needs rest, too. Ideally, keep your braids for 6–8 weeks depending on your hair type.
Leaving them in too long can lead to matting, breakage, or buildup.
7. Visit a Professional for Removal
Never rush the take-down process! Removing braids carefully prevents hair loss and split ends. Our stylists at Lovetee’s Braids and Beauty Supplies Brooklyn Center MN can safely remove your braids, detangle, and prepare your hair for your next style.
