The Braid Edit

Hi Loves! So, you guys know that I’ve shared my natural hair journey and getting my natural hair health back in order. For the longest I didn’t really know how to properly care for my scalp and always only focused on the hair strands. But we all know that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. I’m now leaning towards a lot of protective styling, constantly adding moisture back to my hair and trying out new products. Right now it’s about adding on information on how to take care of my hair and scalp when it’s in a protective style and even on how to wash my hair and treat it. Below are my recent go-to hair products for taking care of my scalp and hair.

CANTU TEA TREE OIL & JOJOBA OIL + WOOLWORTHS CONDITION HAIR OIL

On that note I wanted to share my favourite protective styling category : braids. I only recently got back into it as I was still learning about maintaning natural hair. Fast forward, I’m back at it and so excited to try out new hairstyles. I wanted to share some braiding styles that you may want to check out if you’re looking for braid inspiration. You can also check out the original first braid post I did [ Read Here : https://hautaesthetics.com/2020/04/15/the-braid-issue/ ].
