Braids
By · Updated October 30, 2020

Reinvent your updo by adding a few beautiful braids. Stop scalp itch on the spot with Soft & Beautiful Anti-Itch Scalp Cream.

Spiral Art

At the point where the cornrows stop, the remaining section is braided into long plaits that end at the shoulder. Phytospecific Shea Butter Beauty Styling Cream will keep hair well groomed.

Making the Braid

Prevent breakage by letting your stylist know if braids are too tight. Be sure to keep plaits conditioned and hydrated with Dr. Miracle’s Braid Relief Spray.

Up for Anything

Intricate cornrows, spring coils and a blend of honey hues make this look cute and creative. Before braiding, treat your scalp with John Frieda Relax Moisture Remedy.
