How to take care of the braided megahair?
The washing of false hairs is normal like all hair. The salt-free shampoo will leave the scalp very clean to avoid fungus and the conditioner will hydrate and seal the cuticles right after. Bath water should always be cold or lukewarm, never hot, so as not to facilitate dryness, okay? Avoid, mainly, rubbing the hair so as not to tangle the megahair and try to massage the locks. When combing, choose wide combs or soft brushes and start from the tips upwards, gradually, to avoid tangling.
After the shower, the hair must be dried with a towel or a hairdryer, especially if the hair is being stretched. Accumulation of moisture can cause an unpleasant smell, fungal growth, dandruff, seborrhea, sensitivity and other hair problems. Also, never sleep or tie the wires still wet so as not to facilitate breakage.
