Thank you! I subscribed to both channels! My braids are synthetic. I bought African Pride Braid Sheen Spray for moisture, itchy scalp etc. I also dipped the ends in the boiling water/baby oil mixture. It seems to help keep the end of the braids straight.

@Hairoholic951 Im glad it helped.

Thank you so much for this video! I am a mixed mutt guy with hair leaning more to caucasian consistency. I just had synthetic braids put in yesterday. I dipped them in boiling water and baby oil and they look amazing, but I need to know what to do to stop the braids from unraveling?!!?  Can I glue the ends with super glue? I don't even care if they are stiff like the end of a shoe lace, i just don't want them to unravel! HELP PLEASE!!

[jazzybee445]

@Hairoholic951 @Hairoholic951 Hey sorry for the late response. if you find that your braids are unraveling it would probably b best 2 super glue the very ends, just make sure its way past where youe hair ends. For the other question usually i just put my hair in a bun when going to bed and my satin scarf is big enough to cover my entire head with the bun. what you can do it get a satin scarf to cover your head and then a bonnet to cover the ends of your braids. I hope this helps.

This is my first time trying to put braids in all by myself. I am too familiar with it, so what brand would you recommend.

[jazzybee445]

@Mellesia1 what brand of hair do I use? If that is your question for synthetic hair braids I use black n golds silky hair and for human hair braids I use indian hair that i purchased from indianhairs(.) com but you can buy indian hair locally (or at least there are places where I live that sale it...) goodluck and let me know if you were referring to something else in your question! :)

This was really helpful. Can you do a video on how to carefully take out braids?

[dsacus1015]

@Hairoholic951 it depends on what type of hair u used but if u used human hair u can spritz the ends!

[Hairoholic951]

and i have no idea what to do to sleep. everyone is saying get a silk sleep cap or a silk scarf or some pantyhose!! If I put a scarf around the front of my head and tie it under the braids at the base of my neck what do i do with the rest of it?? The length of my braids are to my middle back...I had to save for this and I want them to last and look good as long as they can!
