What are Braid Sprays?

These are simple water-based formulas that essentially provide hydration to the scalp when you have in a protective style. They make use of water, humectants like glycerin and natural oils like argan and rosemary oils to effectively moisturize the scalp and hair.

Why You Should Use A Braid Spray

• Prevents dandruff when you have in a protective style: By effectively moisturizing the scalp, braid sprays prevent the chances of you developing dandruff flakes in your hair.
• Combats itching: Because of the tightness you may have to undergo when certain hairstyles are being installed, the scalp may become irritated and inflamed, resulting in a whole load of itchiness. A braid spray combats this, owing to its water base that provides adequate moisture to the scalp, preventing it from drying out and itching.
• Keeps the hair and scalp well hydrated: Most braid sprays contain glycerin which attracts moisture to the hair and scalp, keeping it well hydrated.
• Relieves braid tightness: Braid sprays usually contain soothing ingredients like essential oils that soothe the scalp, easing up tension that has built on the scalp from wearing a protective style.
• Prevents breakage: Moisture is easily breakage’s biggest enemy. By regularly moisturizing your hair and scalp with a braid spray, you’re reducing chances of breakage when you finally take out your protective style. Moisture effectively strengthens the hair strands, preventing breakage.
• Adds a finishing shine to your protective style: Braid sprays often contain ingredients like natural oils create a smooth surface on the hair, allowing light to bounce off more evenly, resulting in increased shine.

How Often Should You Apply A Braid Spray

1. As Needed: Depending on the moisture content of your hair, use a braid spray as necessary. You might need to use the spray more frequently if you notice your hair dries out easily or doesn’t have much shine.

2. Every Few Days: Many people use braid sprays as part of their daily hair care regimen, particularly those who wear protective styles like twists or braids. Application every few days is generally recommended to refresh the hair and scalp.

Avoid Overuse

Although braid sprays can add shine and moisture, it’s important to not use them excessively. Excessive product buildup can make the hair look greasy and weigh it down. If you notice your hair and scalp becoming too oily or heavy, reduce the frequency of application.
