A clean braid starts with a properly detangled section! 👏🏽

🔑 Brushing each section thoroughly reduces snagging and unnecessary pulling, and creates a neater braid.

Have you ever wondered why your braids are getting fuzzy quick ? Well this is ONE of the reasons WHY

Side note: knowing product knowledge is another 😉

So make sure your working gently from the ends up to the roots don’t force your brush through tangles.

Have PATIENCE take your time with prep makes a difference in both the finished look and your client’s comfort. 💚
