Braiding
Inglewood, CA
Braiding and other hair extensions such as a weave can help to promote the growth of hair. We at African Hair Braiding by Aawa in Inglewood, CA, understand how these and other protective hair styles can be of great benefit in promoting the growth of healthy, strong and beautiful hair. We also know that using poor braiding and weave installation techniques can cause damage instead of helping to retain length. Our stylists ensure that they apply just the right tension to ensure neat and attractive braids. We ensure that the braids are not done too tight. This ensures that the braids, or weaves, don't exert too much pressure on the hair follicle and cause breakage or hair loss along the hairline. Our stylists will ensure that your hair is prepared for the extensions. We ensure that your hair is clean and moisturized before applying the hair extensions. Our stylists are knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to applying these hair extensions and they will ensure that the extensions are applied in the right direction to prevent tangling of your hair. We advise our clients on the care of the braids and weaves after installation.If you're looking to retain hair length, then be sure to remove the braids after about 5 weeks. This ensures that your hair doesn't tangle. It also gives your hair the opportunity for a deep clean and conditioning. We generally avoid applying twists or braids that are too small. Although these seem attractive, they are likely to thin out your hair rather than help you retain hair length. Our stylists will advise you on the best thickness to promote hair growth. We'll also take the time to examine the state of your hair before applying a hair style. This ensures that we apply a style that will help to protect your hair and promote its growth.
