How to Keep Your French Braids Looking Fresh
Don’t wash them too often to stop frizz. Sleep on a silk pillow or wrap your hair in a soft scarf. Trim your ends every few weeks to stay healthy. Add shine with a little oil or serum. Between washes, use dry shampoo and redo your braids every few days.”
