Bagaala Isaac on How to Keep Your Scalp Healthy with Protective Styles
While on the Next Morning Switch, Bagaala Isaac, the manager at Alaia Hair Salon, shared some eye-opening advice about protective hairstyles.
He said they really do help, but only if done the right way.
Isaac explained that not every braid works for everyone.
Some people react badly to certain types of braids, and that irritation could mean you are allergic.
He encouraged people to pay attention to how their scalp feels instead of just going for what looks good.
He also reminded us that protective styles work best on clean hair.
Adding a bit of oil or moisturizer keeps the scalp comfortable and makes the hairstyle actually protective.
So, next time you are planning to get a protective style, think about what your hair and scalp can handle.
That way, you walk out of the salon with a style that is both beautiful and truly protective.
