Knotless braids are a great protective style, but what most women don’t know is that these styles don’t come cheap. Once you have them installed, you need to invest in products that will keep your hair looking fresh and healthy every day. Follow these 5 tips for maintaining your knotless braids and getting the most out of your protective style!

1) Massage The Hairline

Braided wigs are a beautiful way to add length and volume to your natural hair. When you take down the braids, it’s important to massage the hairline. This will help prevent breakage. The next time you braid, make sure you use your fingers instead of a brush or comb to detangle your hair. This will help prevent knots from getting stuck in your braid pattern. If you are transitioning from long locks to having short hair, this is an excellent option for adding length and volume without all the commitment of growing out a new hairstyle. It’s also an easy way for women with shorter hair (or those who simply want to add some body) to enjoy how braided styles can look on them as well!

2) Moisturize Regularly

Moisturizing your braided wigs will help maintain the color, keep them from drying out, and prevent tangles. You should use a moisturizer that is made for wet hair or natural hair to avoid stripping any of the hair’s natural oils. The best way to apply moisturizer is by using your fingers and applying it from root to tip. Next, use a comb or brush to distribute the moisturizer evenly throughout your braids. Lastly, cover your head with a plastic cap and sit under the dryer for five minutes so the heat can seal in all those moisture-filled nutrients!

3) Use Only Quality Products

It is recommended to use quality products for your knotless braided wig. A good solution for detangling is a water based product that has been diluted with conditioner. It is also a good idea to have some oil-based products on hand for styling and maintaining the knots in your braids. A popular brand of oil-based product is Cantu Shea Butter, and they have many different kinds of oils such as Coconut, Almond Oil, or Olive Oil. Some people also like to use honey because it provides natural moisture and shine without leaving the hair greasy or heavy. This allows you to maintain your hair as well as keep it looking healthy and shiny for longer periods of time.

4) Protect Yourself From Heat Damage

Avoiding heat is a crucial step in maintaining your braids. The best thing to do is to avoid any direct contact with the heat source. You should also invest in a good leave-in conditioner with heat protection, which will shield your hair from excessive heat exposure. In addition, using a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush can help reduce breakage and damage caused by friction.

5) Sleep In Satin Cap At Night

1. Protect your hair before bedtime with a satin cap or scarf to avoid tangles and breakage. 

2. Rinse your braids with cold water in the morning, to help shrink them and make them more manageable. 

3. Apply heat protectant to your braids before styling them if you are using heat tools like a flat iron or curling wand – this will help keep your strands healthy and intact. 

4. Use moisturizing products on the ends of your braids (and throughout) while they are wet after washing, so that they don’t dry out from being exposed to the elements all day long.
