To maintain the longevity of natural hair braids, follow these techniques:

Moisturize: Hydrate your scalp and braids with a lightweight, water-based moisturizer or leave-in conditioner. Focus on the roots and edges to prevent dryness and breakage.

Protective Styling: Wear a satin or silk scarf or bonnet while sleeping to minimize friction and preserve the braids.

Avoid Tight Styles: Ensure braids are not too tight to prevent tension and breakage at the hairline.

Limit Manipulation: Minimize touching and pulling on braids to prevent frizz and unraveling.

Regular Maintenance: Touch up edges and refresh braids every 4-6 weeks to maintain neatness and prevent breakage.

By following these techniques, you can extend the longevity of your natural hair braids and keep them looking fresh for longer.
