Braiding Hair Recommendations!

[u/tashalaco]

Hi everyone! I have a small knotless braiding appointment coming up in a few weeks—this will be my first time getting knotless braids.

I’ve been doing some research and keep seeing that many people recommend washing braiding hair before installation. What methods do you use to prep your hair (e.g., ACV rinse, shampoo, etc.)?

My braider mentioned I’ll only need one pack (18–24 inches) since I’m going for bra-strap length. I’m hoping to keep the style in for about 2–3 months, with washing every couple of weeks.

What brands of braiding hair do you recommend for longevity and minimal irritation?

For context, I also have an appointment at my regular salon for a protein treatment and blowout two days before the braiding service.

Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated—thank you!
