Avoid These Common Braiding Mistakes for Healthier, Longer-Lasting Styles
Braids are one of the best protective hairstyles — but if done incorrectly, they can cause breakage, pain, and scalp damage.
At Lovetee’s Braids and Beauty Supplies Brooklyn Center MN, we want every client to enjoy the beauty of braids without the discomfort.
Here are the top 10 mistakes to avoid when getting your braids done — and how our professional stylists make sure your hair stays beautiful and healthy.
1. Braiding Too Tight
Tight braids may look sleek at first, but they can cause traction alopecia, headaches, and long-term hair loss.
Our stylists use tension-free braiding techniques that protect your edges and scalp.
💆🏾♀️ Beauty should never come with pain.
2. Skipping a Deep Wash Before Braiding
Dirty or product-heavy hair can block moisture and cause buildup under your braids.
Always start with clean, conditioned hair — or let our salon prep it for you!
✨ Healthy hair starts with a clean foundation.
3. Not Moisturizing the Scalp
Dryness leads to itching, flaking, and breakage.
Our stylists recommend light oils or leave-in moisturizers to keep your scalp nourished while braided.
🌿 Moisture is the key to healthy braids.
4. Choosing the Wrong Style for Your Hair Type
Not every style works for every texture.
At Lovetee’s, we guide you to styles that complement your natural hair thickness, length, and growth goals — whether it’s knotless braids, soft locs, or crochet styles.
💜 Personalized styles = healthier hair.
5. Ignoring Hairline Protection
Edges are fragile!
Our professional braiders use gentle techniques around the hairline to prevent tension and breakage.
👑 Protect your crown — literally.
6. Leaving Braids in Too Long
Keeping braids in beyond 8–10 weeks can cause matting and thinning.
We help clients set a safe maintenance schedule and offer braid removal services that protect your hair.
🗓️ Fresh styles, healthy results.
7. DIY Braiding Without Proper Knowledge
DIY braids may save money upfront, but they often lead to scalp damage or uneven tension.
Our licensed braiders provide professional precision and care, ensuring your hair grows — not breaks.
💅🏾 Professional results last longer and look better.
8. Using Too Much Hair Extension
Too-heavy extensions can strain your natural roots.
At Lovetee’s, we balance the right weight, length, and volume to protect your strands.
💖 We style smart — not heavy.
9. Neglecting Nighttime Hair Care
Sleeping without a satin bonnet or scarf causes frizz and shortens braid lifespan.
We educate clients on easy braid care routines to keep styles looking fresh for weeks.
🌙 Wrap, protect, and rest beautifully.
10. Not Visiting a Professional Braider
The biggest mistake?
Trusting untrained or inexperienced hands.
