Maintenance Products For Tree Braids and More

Treebraids new styles for non-local ladies we did. The previous blog touched on treebraids based on facial structure. This blog will talk a little bit about treebraids hair used to achieve a specific look to frame any face. Straight and wavy type hair works great.

SMALL SIZE TREE BRAIDS

: INDIVIDUAL TREEBRAIDS WITH WAVY SYNTHETIC BATIK HAIR:

CORNROW TREEBRAIDS WITH VIRGIN BRAZILIAN HAIR:

I believe we used body wave this time instead of straight virgin hair. There is a subtle difference. MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS: Regimen for straight and wavy hair treebraids and other styles are the easiest.
For man made hair, blends, and synthetics, use sheen. If mousse is desired, add on top of sheen. Use mousse sparingly as it is a drying agent and has excessive build up, requiring more frequent hair washing, and we know synthetics cannot be washed successfully without dire consequences. An exception is Batik.

See regimen for virgin hair treebraids in previous blogs or see some details below.

Products used are your regular conditioner about 3 bottle caps full. It can also be quickly measured by pouring a small quantity of conditioner in the palm of a hand and coating one side starting at the top near the roots and working your way to the tips. Apply to the other side. Next take a section of hair at the crown and make sure that's coated with conditioner also. WASHING VIRGIN HAIR TREEBRAIDS:
Cornrow treebraidskkkNIGHT TIME REGIMEN: To get wavy hair: brush hair, add a little argan oil, then braid, two strand twist or do a quick single twist and secure under a silk bonnet- same as I have been recommending for over 10 years now. Choice of braid, or twist doesn't make too much of a difference, however for wavier looking results separate hair into smaller sections. For me two sections braided or twisted for a loose wave works great!

Lace Front and Silk Base Closures With Treebraids

Treebraids are great. However enter lace front closures and silk base closures with or without treebraids or sewin hair extensions and versatility just went up to a whole new level. Treebraids are great because you can reach your scalp. In the past it was a challenge when presented with hair less than 1/2" in front and the client couldn't get cornrow treebraids, but didn't want to wear a wig or other hairloss aid.

What to do when a client wanted cornrow treebraids but has extremely short hair was quite a challenge to say the least. When a client has little to no hair at the crown of their head or a buzz cut, or extremely thin hair they used to have to wait get my NoSho(SM) treebraids, or grow some hair first.

Not any more.

If you have enough hair to catch you can get individual treebraids. New! You can now also get a lace front sewin- yes, SEWIN!

If you have enough hair to braid cornrows you can get either cornrow treebraids in the back (and sides if length permits) or individual treebraids. New! You can now also get a lace front sewin or silk base closure sewin!

HOW LONG WILL THE SILK BASE AND LACE FRONT CLOSURE LAST?:

The silk base closure and lacefront closure sewin will OUTLAST your cornrow treebraids and individual treebraids! The only caveat is the hairline will have to be tightened once or twice while you have it in.

HOW TO MAINTAIN:

What is great about the lace front and silk base closures is that you have access to your hairline and can scrub gently with diluted shampoos and conditioners to your hearts content.

After rinsing off blot dry and air dry. Next, apply very light moisturizer ON the hairline. Next use EDGES water-based gel sparingly on baby hairs and use a soft brush to gently brush toward, or away from the hairline in slightly curved motion. Finish off with a very small dab of LOC AND TWIST GEL, and continue the sweeping movements with the brush at the hairline.

This last action will soften up the Edges gel and together they turn any tightly coiled hairline into a texture that blends with any closure curl pattern and texture you chose for your install.

The hair itself only needs a little water sprayed on it. Add ARGAN oil very sparingly. If it doesn't come with an applicator place a dime size amount in the palm of a hand then rub vigorously between the palms of your hands. Next dab sparingly on all areas of your hair. Pull hair at tips, comb or brush, the brush your hands gently over hair to distribute excess product and to smooth hair.

AFTER

Treebraids by Kaale installed Small size cornrow treebraids. We used our propritary '4 rotations traditional cornrow treebraid' technique. There is just enough cornrow but not a whole line of cornrows. Just enough for everyone to know that this is not a weave.

Hair is unprocessed remy hair in 3 bundles. 18" can easily be used to achieve this style otherwise if 20" is used you may end up folding it. 18" will also give this volume of hair. If 20" or longer is desired you get that extra length alright, but the volume is a little less because remy hair is sold by the ounce, usually in 4 ounces per bundle. Get 4 bundles for the same volume and longer length than my clients remy hair.

This is one of my high end clients: she does have a very busy, hectic project management position that requires ALL her focus on her work and her team. No room for minutes in the bathroom regrooming her hair. She reports that her confidence level as a direct result of this beautiful treebraids style combined with this virtually maintenance free virgin remy Brazilian hair has increased productivity- its through the roof!

Help me to congratulate her on her two promotions this year- ever since getting her treebraids with me. So stick with me- and we are going places together ladies! Above all she has an amazing personality and also loves people.

BEFORE

This is what Natural Straight virgin Brazilian hair should look like. It can be curled, straightened, washed and reused over and over again. This hair never stops! No throwing away of hair! After each install spray bottle of water and light cream leave in conditioner all the way to the tips, then a quick comb is all that is needed.

Style as desired.
