Braid Removal

Braid removal service is provided at Masusu Kinks. But, if you choose to do it on your own, here are a few tips!

Cut the hair where it is glued/burned. Saturate the hair with water. Apply a generous amount of extra thick conditioner and oil to the entire head. With a rat tail comb, remove braids 5 at a time. With every section of braids, comb out dirt from root and completely detangle each section. After entire head is done, shampoo, condition and give yourself a hot oil treatment (if needed). Do not be alarmed if you see ′a lot′ of hair in your comb. Hair sheds on a daily basis--although you are wearing it braided, it will continue to do its natural process. So be very careful in removing your braids to avoid unnecessary damage.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!!
