How to Prepare Your Hair Before Getting Braids

A little preparation before your braiding appointment can make a big difference. Here are a few simple things to do before coming to Effizzi.

  1. 1

    Wash Your Hair

    Start with clean hair and scalp. This gives your braids a fresh foundation and helps you enjoy your style longer.

  2. 2

    Blow-Dry Your Hair

    Please come with your hair washed and blow-dried. Detangled, stretched hair makes it easier to begin your braiding service.

  3. 3

    Avoid Hair Products Before Your Appointment

    Please come with your hair free from heavy oils, gels, grease, and other hair products. If you prefer to oil or grease your scalp, you can do so after your braids are completed.

  4. 4

    Know the Style You Want

    Having an inspiration picture can help communicate the braid style, size, and look you want.
