My Hair Care Routine for Beautiful Braids
While warrior braids can be a little more challenging to do when late for work early in the morning and before coffee – fear not as your braids still look great even when styled still wet and dirty! Your braids will still look awesome when you are late for a meeting and styled messy!
As a warrior woman choosing the shampoo and conditioner combination that is best for your braids is an individual choice. In my experience best results are achieved when using a gentle and all-natural shampoo paired with a leave-in conditioner that can keep your hair hydrated. When brushing and trying to detangle those clumps after a shower – I find a wide-toothed comb always works best.
Always try to avoid using too much heat on your braids but if absolutely necessary apply heat protectant before. If you are using a dye or bleach to color your hair, always find the best and least damaging product for your hair type, which often does not mean the most expensive products.
Help! What Braid Style Should I Choose?
There are many different styles of braids and frankly they can almost get a little confusing! When deciding which new braided hairstyle is best for you and your hair type a multitude of factors should be considered.
You should always find out what hair type you have before choosing a braiding style because different braids will work better on different types of hair. For example if your hair is thick then French braids will work better while on thinner hair braids such as fishtails will be better.
Another factor to take into account is the hair care and maintenance time that you have to invest in your braids. Some braids are low maintenance while others require a significant time commitment to keep looking good and so an honest consideration of your available time will help you decide on the best braid style for you.
Braids are easily one of the most flexible hairstyles and will look awesome on all hair types when done correctly. Braids look great on any length of hair, and are absolutely not only for Warrior Women but Warrior Men also! While more modern hairstyles for short hair men or women often differ, braids generally are not differentiated by sex and will still look awesome when the right braid and care routine are established.
So whether you are an experienced warrior hoping to reverse a few of those grey hairs you found yesterday morning with some grey hair treatment before braiding, short hair or long hair, men or women – braiding really can cover all your bases.
How to Make Your Braids Unique to You
When you have decided on the perfect style of braid that you want, there are still plenty of opportunities to individualize your hairstyle even further so it is absolutely unique to you and your ‘look’!
