Aftercare guide
Make your style last, kindly
Five steps from the first night to takedown. Follow them and most braids and twists last six to eight weeks, with your edges intact.
Step by step
Your aftercare plan
Use the steps or the arrow keys to move through the guide.
Night one
Wrap your hair in a satin scarf or bonnet. Skip heavy oils for the first two days so the style settles. If anything feels tight or painful after 24 hours, call us and we will loosen it for free.
Step 1 of 5
Week one
Spray your scalp lightly every two days with water and a little leave-in. Avoid tight ponytails or buns for the first week to protect your edges.
Step 2 of 5
Washing
Wash every two weeks with diluted shampoo in a nozzle bottle, focusing on the scalp. Squeeze, do not rub. Dry fully with a hooded dryer or in the sun so the roots do not stay damp.
Step 3 of 5
Week two
Come in for a free edge touch-up. We tidy the front row and re-lay edges in about thirty minutes.
Step 4 of 5
Takedown
Between week six and eight, take it down slowly with oil on your fingers. Detangle from ends to roots. Or book our takedown service and we wash and condition too.

When to call us
Signs to watch for
Small bumps along the hairline, soreness after two days or braids that feel heavy at the root are signs a style is too tight. Call us and we will check it for free. For anything that looks like a skin condition, please see a doctor or dermatologist.
Choose coloured extension hair instead. Dye on braids can irritate the scalp.
Clarify every two weeks, moisturise lightly, sleep in satin and avoid retwisting at home.
Yes. We shed about 100 hairs a day, and braids hold them in. A small ball at takedown is normal.
