If you want to add an extra service, add a blowout.
I've had clients come in, who just don't have time to blowout their hair the night before their appointment. So I decided to add on extra service.
If you don't stretch the hair before installation, your braids won't come out as clean and seamless as they should. Please make sure when your stretching your using the comb nozzle that comes with it. Otherwise a brush while blowing will work the sam...
Wavytalk | Hair Dryer Blow Dryer
The best in the game! All natural meaning it won't leave your scalp feeling heavy or itchy. I will FOREVER use this product as much as I can!
Neatbraid Conditioning Shining Gel
Buy bulk babe! Hands down the best in the game to get those crisp parts! Plus the pointy top side of the comb, ensure that those lines ain't crooked.🤣
Buying bulk is another great way maintain hygiene from client to client. I ensure to use a different comb on each client, just because I have some clients they have irritated scalps, that I WOULD NOT want to transfer to my next.
30PCS | Rat Tail Comb
Provides one of the best holds for all braids! I love this product, another one of my favourite brands :)
All Day Locks Braid Gel
After you've parted out, PLEASE brush through the hair with this comb (or similar) to ensure you have a clean foundation.
50 Pack | Tooth Hair Pocket Comb
One of the best gels for 4c hair!!! I can't brag enough, this gel will literally hold the hair without the clips🤌🏽
If your looking for something that can provide you with more strong hold, BUY THIS! It honestly works wonders.
2PK | Loc N Edge Gel
Really sturdy hold, NOT flimsey these clips don't get rusty after water hits them like others. I highly recommend buying a pack of these!
Clips will help you keep the hair out of the way while your parting for your braids to be installed.
HAIR CLIPS are a NECESSITY!
60PCS | Metal Duck Billed Hair Clips
These will help you get your gel out of the container without cross contaminating the entire batch! Just simply, grab, scoop and wipe on your slap band, hand or glove.
Get you a bunch, I'm sure you can even buy them from your local grocery store.
60PCS | Jumbo Craft Sticks
Got thick hair? Use Alligator Clips, you wont regret it! The perfect clip for those clients that have thick - ultra thick hair.
I rather this clip over any other. My personal favourite
10PC | Alligator Hair Clips
Excellent piece to have to hold your gel while braiding. Unless you'd rather put it on your hand, then that's okay aswell.
But I prefer to use a wristband as it's alot more convenient for me and my set up or work style.
2PC | Magnetic Wristband
Use these products to finish🔥
Don't forget to add Mousse to the cart! Why?
Mousse helps keeps the fly aways, AWAY! Locking in shine and keeping them fresh allday long.
You want to apply mousse to the finished look, straight on top slowly but neatly brushing (with your hands) the foam back before putting on your durag.
AllDay Locks Braid Foam | Long Lasting Mousse
Applying oil to your clients scalp after you've finished is key to a healthy hair growth journey while you have your braids in.
Please don't let your clients leave without a good drizzle of Sulfate oil! It helps prevent itchiness, dryness and most of all dandruff.
I hands down, really like this one, although I've personally tried others .. this would have to be in my TOP 5!
Sulfur 8 | Loc Twist and Braid Oil
The smell is next level. I personally love the smell of this brand! The coconut, the shea that comes off of it when you get a woooof! Absolute divine
Lottabody | Coconut Oil Mousse
My TOP1 Hair growth oil! Why?
First off, the smell! It's absolute heaven I really like the scent that it has to it. I always use this on my clients, but myself aswell!
Perfect for growing hair anywhere you'd like. I've been using this specific oil on my lashes and brows for a few months and when I say, THEY WON'T STOP GROWING I mean it!
Top tier product in my opinion.
Originals | Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Can you lay my edges? Say no more…
Some clients like to have their baby hairs laid and this brush while doing so would be the ultimate finish to getting that!
2PK | Foxi Fresh Edge Brush
How are your braids so shiny? This is how!
Sheen spray is the ultimate finish to braids. It locks in moisture, adds shine and smells like pure heaven! Spray some of this product (or whatever you prefer) all over the hair and I mean everywhere.
You won't regret it!
African Pride | Sheen Extra Spray
Keyword: SILK ….
Silky durags help eith keeping the hair flat and not disturbed. Once you've finished your braids, throw on a durag making sure it's flat and tied securely.
Then blowdry the heck out of it, to dry that mousse underneath that's locking in all the moisture.
