Easily Maintain Process Of Butterfly Hair
My friend, I am sharing these processes with you. During the first couple of weeks of applying the butterfly style, I struggled to maintain my hairstyle. Then I have learned some great ways of maintaining my hairstyle. I think all these easy methods will help you the most.
- Clean foundation
Always clean your locs hair. As this style is somewhere difficult to hide for the windy situations, you may clean the hair every night before sleeping. With due respect to curly hair, they easily get uncleaned. That’s why proper cleaning can save your hair.
- Provide UV protection
You can use some natural hair oils to save your hair, from unwanted heat and dried situations of the sun. UV rays can burn your hair, making them unhealthy. Using a hair cap or mask is a great alternative way of saving your hair from sun heat.
- Back on normal hair
It is very important not to maintain an extended hairstyle for a longer period. According to the expert’s suggestions, every 7/8 weeks, users must go back to the original hair. Either that can cause braid bums, itching, and major scalp problems.
- Avoid Tight hair locks
Some of us have already fallen into this problem. A tight hairstyle is very dangerous for any type of scalp. That can lead you to braid bumps and another major scalp damaging problem. Also, tight holding makes the natural hair so unhealthy, uprooting them from the scalp.
- Excessive color use
Stop doing any excessive color or chemicals on your hair. Before applying any color, consult with a hair specialist to avoid all the risks. Another problem is people apply unwanted hairstyles, which is very dangerous for natural 3c hair.
