The last thing you want is to skimp out on the maintenance and watch your hair get dry and start to break.So we\u2019ve put together our 5 tips on how to keep your crochet braids looking brand new!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 1:<\/strong> Get the right hair! There\u2019s no amount of maintenance that will make bad quality hair look poppin! We recommend getting the Tatu Braid if you really want your style to last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 2:<\/strong> Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize! One of the biggest reasons why people experience breaking and flyaways is because the hair hasn\u2019t been moisturized. Moisturizing spray or even some coconut oil in the roots can work wonders for the longevity of your braids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 3:<\/strong> If you happen to get any frizz, it\u2019s fine to give it a bit of a trim! It\u2019s not hard, just go through your hair and find any pieces that have frizz to them and give them a snip. That\u2019ll keep your set looking like you just installed it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 4:<\/strong> Don\u2019t ignore your edges! Your edges are extremely important so don\u2019t forget to snatch them down with a little gel or edge control every now and then!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 5:<\/strong> A silk or satin scarf is an absolute lifesaver! Not only do they prevent flyaways but they also make sure that the style of your braid remains intact. Wrap your hair up in the scarf before bed and you\u2019ll notice they last much longer and look much fresher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Courtesy:\u00a0EBONYline.com So you\u2019ve just got your brand new set of crochet braids put in and you\u2019re feeling your African Princess fantasy.
