Stay Braid Season Ready With GYEB

 

When braid season hits, it hits. The sun is out, the events are lined up, and you need your hair to keep up without breaking down. Protective styles like braids, twists, and faux locs let you stay fly and low-maintenance, but the real secret? It's all in the prep.

Before you let anyone put hands in your hair, you gotta make sure your strands and scalp are strong, nourished, and ready to hold up all summer long. Skipping the prep work can lead to dryness, breakage, and a whole lot of unnecessary tension. We're not doing that in 2025.

Braids are protective, but only if your hair is healthy going in. Tension from tight braids on dry, weak hair? That's a recipe for thinning edges and stressed strands. Prepping helps lock in moisture, strengthens your hair, and gives your scalp the love it needs to stay calm while you're rocking your look.

YOUR SIMPLE PRE-BRAID ROUTINE

1. Deep Clean: Start with a fresh base. Use a gentle clarifying shampoo to remove buildup, sweat, and product residue. This allows your scalp to breathe and your hair to fully absorb the good stuff.
2. Hydrate & Strengthen: Follow up with a lightweight leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture without leaving your hair heavy or greasy.
3. Seal It In: After cleansing, grab your GYEB Growth Oil and work it into your scalp and strands. The rich blend nourishes your roots, promotes growth, and helps your hair stay strong under the weight of your braids.

Once your braids are installed, maintenance is key. Your scalp still needs attention to stay healthy, prevent itchiness, and avoid buildup.

• Moisturize Regularly: Keep your GYEB Growth Oil on deck for weekly scalp massages. It keeps your scalp nourished and supports healthy growth while your hair is tucked away.
• Clean Gently: Use a diluted shampoo or scalp cleanser every couple of weeks to remove buildup without disturbing your style.
• Don’t Skip the Mist: A few sprays of a moisturizing mist can keep your hair hydrated and reduce tension from tight braids.
• Watch the Tension: If you feel too much pulling or see bumps along your hairline, address it early. Your edges deserve better.

Braids should be fun. Prep your crown with care, keep that scalp happy, and let your protective styles do what they’re supposed to do: protect. With GYEB in your corner, you can stay growing, stay glowing, and stay snatched all summer long.
