Because getting the style can be tedious, installation can cost anywhere between £130 and £200. Additionally, there are some best practices you want to keep in mind, particularly when it comes to skin and scalp care.
"Tree braids require very few wash days, I would recommend washing your hair every 7-10 days. However the key here is to opt for moisturising and nourishing products that contain hydrating ingredients such as rose water and avocado oil," Ovensehi tells us. Here, a hydrating shampoo, like the Hair Proud Super Hydrating Shampoo (£8), followed by their Super Hydrating Conditioner (£8) would be ideal. For some scalp TLC before getting your tree braids installed, try STRAAND's Halo Hydrator Calming Hydration Scalp Mask (£26).
"When your hair is wet after washing, be extremely gentle. Use a large microfibre hair towel, which will fit your braids in comfortably while also helping to air dry the hair naturally too. Towels made of microfibre material will also prevent frizz," she adds. Hair Made Easi's The XL Luxury Hair Wrap (£18) is a perfect choice.
