A professional tip for using X-pression Rich Braid is to prepare the braiding hair before use. The braids come tightly packed, so it’s a good idea to loosen and stretch the hair before braiding. This can be done by gently pulling the hair with your hands or using a hair dryer set to low heat to warm and loosen the hair. Another tip is to use a weaving needle when braiding with X-pression Rich Braid. A weaving needle can help to secure the braids more tightly to the natural hair, making them last longer. To use the weaving needle, thread it with a small section of the braiding hair and use it to sew the braid to the natural hair, making sure to keep the tension even and the stitches tight. Finally, it’s important to take care of the braids once they are in place. Use a mild shampoo to wash the braids, and be sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew from developing. You may also want to use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep the braids moisturized and looking their best.
