Last step: blow drying ur hair with ur durag on. The heat will make ur hair lay down neat and its faster than waiting for it to air dry. Blow drying also prevents hair mildew which can occur if parts of ur hair is constantly wet (i.e. inside the actual braid)
I like seeing the different ways guys take care of there hair it’s impressive. Each person has their own way and figuring out ways best for them. It inspires me
So for y’all worried about frizz after washing I have two methods first you can put foam or mousse on your braids then wrap with a durag and blow dry orrrr spray got2be then wrap with a durag then blow dry
I’m Chicano /Mexican-American and I hear many cultures would broad their hair to determine from what tribe you were to status also it’s a lot of interesting beliefs behind it! I appreciate your video been struggling to properly Maine the braids especially being first time , not to mention it hurts the first night🤣🥲
Don’t recommend using head and shoulders at all, if you’re black, which I am. It has a lot of SLS( sodium lauryl sulphate), which isn’t good for hair like ours. Definitely recommend Black Jamaican Castor Oil.
I was trying to imagine myself with braids (I got long hair now with a wave), and though we have dif't hair, I imagine this would be not much diff once I get it braided. Thanks for the how to! I would've liked to know exactly how curly/kinky your loose hair is. Thanks!
It's always gonna itch but try slapping / tapping the itch instead of scratching it, or you can use tea tree oil which u can find at the store for pretty cheap
This really helped a lot man, I have braids and am very active, so my hair is constantly dirty and sweaty, I don't like to take them out right away, so this helps me a lot. Thanks 👍🏼😊
Wow, I was just thinking about this the other day about. Is it possible to wash your braids instead of having to wait until the next braid job 🤔 Thank you so much 👏👍 Awesome. !
Anyone got any tips for other hairstyle, such as two strand twist, twist, and any type of plot etc. Cuz when I have those hairstyle I don’t wanna wash my hair cuz my hairstyle will be messy after I’m finished washing/scrubbing my hair if u understand.
A durag , sleep with it on , chill in the house with it on , whenever you aren’t trying to impress wear that durag . You can also apply mouse before the durag to lay your hair
I’m bout to follow your instructions rn. Recently got braided up for my first time and it’s dope... love how I look and feel with it done. Been thinking bout it for years and years.... just never felt confident enough, until now. I’ve been judged on my appearance for as long as I can remember.... Grew up in the hood and always felt more at home around the hiphop culture than anywhere else. But, fair skin... Assumed to be only white... A lot of humans hate and throw shade... hefty. For what, me being me?! Or anyone being themselves. Ima do me... If people don’t like it... it’s their issue, not mine. Appreciate the video and help brotha. Stay blessed. 👏🏼👌🏼
Good on you dude do what makes you feel happy 💯 I'm Scottish mixed race part Scottish, Nigerian and Polish from Scotland 🏴 Currently growing my curly hair long going to get braids for the first time in a couple of months!
@@grifcheese1076white dudes been having braids since like medieval times in Scotland, Ireland and wayyyyy before then with Vikings. Braids have been apart of just about every culture in history. Racist.
I would wash my braids when they start to itch or when I see some dry skin, and they last a long time it just depends on if you care if they look a little rough .
Been getting rows once a year since like my sophomore year. But I never know what do do make em last more than 3 weeks I feel dumb not looking it up before
Yessir I needed this I’m Mexican and for the first time in 30+ years I decided to braid my hair and was trying to find out if after a week I can actually wash my braids to keep them fresh. I’m on my 6th day and man it itches bad but I don’t want to remove them they look too nice.
Enrique Anguiano I’m Mexican too and by the 5-7 day my head be itching. I sleep with a du rag on my head and I scratch my head but only where it’s parted at and I don’t scratch hard just enough to get the urge to scratch. I’m gonna try a waterless shampoo or a conditioner to clean my head. Then pat dry with a towel and put do rag and blow dry my hair so my head won’t stink. A few people said that if you don’t dry it completely it my smell like sweat.
My first time having cornrows I tried this but my hair got all frizzled damn $40 spent just too fuck it up ( I think it's my fault video was super helpful )
lord help me i been doing protective styles for years and this man is using head and shoulders shampoo and still got longer hair than me what did i do to deserve this
Hey I know I’m late but not head and shoulders. It will stop the itching temporarily but will dry your scalp out and you’ll have the same issue with or without braids. Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and pour it on in the shower, leave in for a few minutes then dilute regular shampoo and do the same, then the same with conditioner but use very little conditioner. After you’re dry use Jamaican black caster oil on your scalp from a bottle with a nozzle. Do this each time you have braids and you’re good! .. from a black woman who rocks braids and has healthy hair.😌
If the place you’re going to has a website then look on the website and see how much they charge for a certain style of braids. And then depending on the number of braids you’re getting, show them the style. Or you can call ahead and book an appointment and show them the style you want.
I always put on a damn shower cap I ain’t know you can actually wash your hair with braids 😅😅I’m bout to start only doing this every Sunday now 🙏🏽 big ups
Y'all nasty... wash your hair for God's sake.. not doing so is freaking disgusting... I never knew this about black people before but I am now going to be grossed out by anyone with braids... gag...
It does. When I shower it still frizzes and have to put a rag on. What he is doing is just frizzing his design. He doesn’t have that much hair because of his taper. He should just go get it rebraided.
@@SanchoBohemian007 my cornrows only lasted about two weeks the first time I washed it I washed it in between the partings very gentle with shampoo and rinsed it off gently you should be fine
@@phoreignoutcast1361 thanks for reply bro. I’m actually about to do it now. I was a bit timid to touch them lol but I notice since the hair is straight it’s hard to prevent the frizzy. So I will have to go redo them again in a week. But they are great to have.

I agree
🤔 And how do you wash/work with Black Jamaican Castor Oil? Do you use it as a shampoo as well or it’s just as a oil for the hair?
Does Jamacain Castor oil remove dandruff ? Head& Shoulders is the only thing I know that removes dandruff in my hair I'm open to new ideas
@@BlizzPumpTV yes Jamaican black castor oil removes all the dandruff and dirt

Thanks broski this helps. The lady who did my braids said don't wash. Which I'm used to washing my hair almost daily 🙃
Needed this video fr 👌
Yoooooo Darius
Appreciate the tips! I have cornrows, and it had been about a week since I got them done. Felt good to give them a good wash tonight.

Yessir this was very helpful thank you
Thanks for the tips i got that mixed type curly hair hopefully all goes well.
How did it go? I have curly hair too
1st time having braids. On my 4th day and my scalp itches like crazy. I’m definitely going to dry this method for my braids. Good looking broski
It's always gonna itch but try slapping / tapping the itch instead of scratching it, or you can use tea tree oil which u can find at the store for pretty cheap
peppermint oil works well too. my head gets red and sensitive if i use tea tree oil too much
You get some frizz, but for the sake of a healthy scalp this is 10/10.
I got super hang time and I always get two braids I’ve tried a couple of ways and it always frizzes up no matter what, I DEFINITELY need to try this
Great video! But I got a question, is it necessary to put the condition?
This really helped a lot man, I have braids and am very active, so my hair is constantly dirty and sweaty, I don't like to take them out right away, so this helps me a lot. Thanks 👍🏼😊
Thanks you I just got braids today and was about to take a shower then I thought about how do I wash them but this helped a lot
you should get a shower cap
Thanks for the video i def need to try
How do they look afterwards, I heard u can wash braids but I wasn’t too sure , I got box braids in now 🤦🏽♂️
Wow, I was just thinking about this the other day about.
Is it possible to wash your braids instead of having to wait until the next braid job 🤔

What products would you recommend to use for a wash? I’m about to get it braided so I was just wondered
Anyone got any tips for other hairstyle, such as two strand twist, twist, and any type of plot etc. Cuz when I have those hairstyle I don’t wanna wash my hair cuz my hairstyle will be messy after I’m finished washing/scrubbing my hair if u understand.
I just got braids 2 days ago and I’m rocking them . 😜
But I needed a video on how to maintain them.
How often do u wash ur braids and how often do u use conditioner?
What products do you recommend to keep your hair from frizzing so much before a rebraid?
A durag , sleep with it on , chill in the house with it on , whenever you aren’t trying to impress wear that durag . You can also apply mouse before the durag to lay your hair
Nobody:
Alright so I just got done 😂
Might just use this tho
Question, can you dry with hair dryer on a low heating setting? Thanks for the video.
Yes
Hi ! Could you please tell me the names of all the products you used ?

You didn't show the most important step I need to see what you did when you was getting that dirt n stuff out with the comb
Does that work for all men races or you had another way to wash your hair without the durag?
Just buy a durag its 1 dollar
