Proper maintenance is key to ensuring your braids remain healthy and prevent damage. At El Mundo Del Pelo Dominican Salon, we provide expert tips and techniques for keeping your braids looking fresh while protecting your natural hair.

Regular Cleansing and Moisturizing

At El Mundo Del Pelo Dominican Salon, regular cleansing and moisturizing are essential for maintaining healthy braids. Cleansing can be challenging with braids, but it's crucial to keep your scalp clean and free from buildup. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and apply it directly to your scalp, using your fingers to massage and remove impurities. Rinsing thoroughly is important to prevent residue from accumulating.


Moisturizing is equally vital, as braids can sometimes lead to dryness. Apply a lightweight, hydrating leave-in conditioner or oil to your scalp and braids, focusing on the roots to ensure your hair remains hydrated and nourished. Avoid over-saturating your hair, as excess moisture can lead to mildew or scalp irritation. Regular cleansing and moisturizing help keep your braids and natural hair healthy and prevent potential damage.

Gentle Handling and Protection

To prevent damage while maintaining your braids, gentle handling and protection are key. At El Mundo Del Pelo Dominican Salon, we advise against excessive manipulation, which can lead to breakage or tension on the scalp. When brushing your braids, use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for braided hair, and start from the tips, working your way up to minimize pulling.


Additionally, protecting your braids while you sleep can prevent frizz and tangling. Use a silk or satin scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase to reduce friction and maintain your braid's appearance. Avoid pulling or tugging on your braids, especially when they are new, as this can cause unnecessary stress on your natural hair and scalp. By following these gentle handling and protection practices, you can enjoy beautiful, well-maintained braids without compromising the health of your hair.
