'It has allowed me to stretch the amount of time between takedowns and maintain slicked and swooped edges that have people convinced my braids are perpetually freshly done'
Photo: Courtesy of the retailers For most of my life, I’ve been what many would call a “lazy natural,” hair-wise — I’ve tended to stick with buns and the occasional wash-and-go. All of this changed when I decided to give braids a try last summer, in the hopes of cutting down on my morning routine and looking like the always-on-vacation girls I follow on Instagram. Braids had burned me in the past; the last time I’d tried them, my hair was left broken after a too heavy install.
$9 at Amazon Buy $9 at Amazon Buy Carol’s Daughter Rhassoul Clay Conditioner This is my go-to conditioner. It doesn’t do much in the way of slip but does keep things silky and manageable. $14 at Ulta Beauty Buy $14 at Nordstrom Buy Kinky Curly Knot Today Detangler $12 I’ve been using this since I went natural six years ago, and it’s the one product that has stayed with me throughout. It’s thinner than any of my Shea Moisture or Carol’s Daughter leave-ins, which is actually a good thing: It gives my fine strands a little extra moisture without weighing them down.
$32 at Sephora Buy $32 at Ulta Beauty Buy Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer I have a pretty consistent curl pattern, save for one patch on the left side of my head that has a mind of its own, and I’m willing to go to the ends of the earth to protect it — hence the Dyson hair dryer. I can acknowledge that it’s pricey, but two things make it well worth it: its “heat control” and its ability to dry quickly.
