Treebraids by Kaale: Maintenance Help for your Treebraids- NJ, NY, PA

Contrary to what some shops indicate, treebraids maintenance depends not only on the style, but also on the type of hair used. There are different ways of taking care of treebraids.

Human hair - commercial hair

Straight treebraids hair styles:

The only thing needed for treebraids with human hair is liquid sheen of any type- olive oil, and tea tree oil are recommended. An added advantage of these types of oils is that they are pre-mixed, easy and can be purchased off the shelf. Additionally, they can be used to sheen the scalp to alleviate itchy scalp, which occurs with cornrows. Nevertheless, a mixture of olive oil and water works great for commercial hair. Use desired oils on hair, then comb with a comb with small teeth, or a bristle brush.

Curly and wavy tree braids hair styles:

Use oils as recommended above, then comb through to the tips with a wide tooth comb for curly and wavy hair. For a tamer look that gives a straighter look at the scalp with less curls and the end, use a comb with small teeth, or a bristle brush.

Wash commercial hair when it needs a 'bounce', or as needed.

Synthetic hair - commercial hair

Straight tree braids hair styles:

The only thing needed for treebraids with synthetic hair is liquid sheen of any type- olive oil, and tea tree oil are some recommended. Water-based oil products should be used sparingly, as with any sheening, unlike human hair. Comb with a small toothed comb or a bristle brush.

Curly and wavy tree braids hair styles:

Use oils as recommended above, then comb through to the tips with a wide tooth comb for curly and wavy hair. For a tamer look that gives a straighter look at the scalp with less curls and the end, use a comb with small teeth, or a bristle brush. Always place the palm of the hand against the commercial hair, right above the comb or brush. The palm of the hand helps to create a smoother look. For unruly curls, take it one step further by clamping the fingers at the tips of the commercial hair. Next, pull down at the tips.

Tie up at night to have a 'get-up-and-go' look in the morning, especially with curly and wavy tree braid hair styles.
