Box Braids Aftercare -Â
Yes, you can wash your box braids! Gently massage your scalp while shampooing instead of rubbing the braids like loose hair. Rinse thoroughly and allow your braids to dry completely. Keep your scalp moisturised with a light oil to help prevent dryness and itching. Avoid pulling or tying your braids too tightly.
​
Healthy Scalp Tips -Â
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. If your scalp feels dry, use a nourishing scalp oil to keep it hydrated. Avoid scratching your scalp as this can cause irritation. Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet to support healthy hair growth.
​
Washing Tips -Â
Wash your hair with cool or lukewarm water whenever possible. Cool water helps seal the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and helping your hair retain moisture and shine. Avoid very hot water, as it can dry out your hair and scalp.
​
Extra Hair Care Tips -Â
Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet to reduce breakage. Avoid excessive heat styling without using a heat protectant. Detangle your hair gently, starting from the ends and working toward the roots. Book regular maintenance appointments to keep your hair looking its best.
​
Remember your hair is an investment. Consistent care between salon visits will help keep it healthy, strong, and beautiful. If you have any questions about caring for your hair, we're always happy to help :)

Here's our Aftercare Guide
At Hair Afrik, we want your hair to stay healthy and beautiful long after your appointement. Following these simple aftercare tips will help protect your hair and maintain your style.
​
Hair Relaxer Aftercare -
Do not wash your hair for at least one week after a relaxer unless your stylist advises otherwise. Keep your hair well moisturised to prevent dryness and breakage. Apply lightweight oils or leave-in moisturisers regularly to keep your hair hydrated. Avoid excessive heat styling during the first week after relaxing your hair. Wrap your hair with a satin or silk scarf at night to reduce friction and retain moisture.
​
Hair Maintenance -Â
Wash your hair with a sulphate-free shampoo to help retain moisture and protect your hair. Keep your scalp and hair clean to prevent product build-up. Follow with a moisturising conditioner after every wash. Trim your ends regularly to reduce split ends and keep your hair healthy.
