Knotless braids are light from day one, but a few simple tricks make them feel even better — and help your style last longer.
The first night
Sleep with your braids gathered in a loose bun or ponytail on top of your head, under a satin bonnet. This lets the partings settle and keeps the braids from tangling.
If your scalp itches
Mild itching in the first days is normal. A cooling spray with a little aloe or tea tree oil helps. Never scratch with your nails — tap gently with your fingertips.
Moisture
- A light leave-in spray on the lengths every few days.
- A drop of oil (jojoba, argan) on the partings after washing.
- No heavy pomades — they attract dust and leave build-up.
Sport and gym
Train freely, just dry your scalp with a towel or a cool blow-dryer afterwards. Moisture trapped in braids is the main cause of unpleasant odour.
When to take them out
We recommend wearing knotless braids for 6 to 8 weeks. Once new growth passes two centimetres it is time for a new appointment — this protects your hair from breakage.
