Hair Care & Maintenance

At AjahsBeautyBase, we believe beautiful styles deserve beautiful care. To help you maintain your look and protect your natural hair, please follow our professional aftercare recommendations below.

Braid Maintenance

To keep your braids looking sleek and lasting beautifully, we recommend:
    •    Covering your hair at night with a silk and satin scarf and bonnet to protect your braids and reduce frizz.

    •    Moisturising your scalp regularly using our AjahsBeautyBase Hair Growth Oil

    •    Avoiding heavy products such as gels or thick edge controls that cause build-up.

    •    Cleansing gently when needed — focus on your scalp using a diluted shampoo, then rinse carefully without disturbing the braids.

    •    Protecting your style during workouts or showers with a scarf or shower cap.

✨ Pro Tip: For best results, we recommend booking a braid refresh appointment every 3–4 weeks to keep your style neat and your natural hair healthy.

Human Hair Maintenance

Our human hair braids and extensions are designed for a soft, natural finish and long-lasting wear. To keep them looking their best, we recommend:

    •    Avoid washing your braids or extensions — instead, lightly mist with water in a spray bottle to refresh and rehydrate the hair.

    •    Use a leave-in conditioner spray to maintain softness, shine, and manageability.

    •    Avoid foams or mousse products, as they can cause build-up and reduce the hair’s natural movement.

    •    Detangle gently, starting from the ends and working your way up using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.

    •    Wrap or braid the hair before bed and cover with a silk and satin scarf and bonnet to prevent tangling and friction.

    •    Apply a small amount of AjahsBeautyBase Hair Growth Oil to the ends when needed for extra moisture and a healthy shine.

💡 Please Note:
    •    Coloured or bleached human hair is more processed, making it more prone to dryness, tangling, and matting. Consistent hydration and gentle handling are essential.

    •    A small amount of shedding is completely normal — especially after your braids are first installed or as you begin to style, pull, or tie your hair up. This is due to natural movement and should not affect the overall look or longevity of your style.

Synthetic Hair Maintenance

Synthetic hair offers beautiful styles with minimal upkeep — but still benefits from the right care to maintain its finish.
    •    Avoid heat styling, as most synthetic fibres are not heat-safe.
    •    Use a lightweight mousse or braid spray to refresh and add shine.
    •    Refrain from over-washing, as too much product or water can cause frizz and reduce longevity.
    •    Gently separate strands with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to keep the hair smooth.
    •    Cover nightly with a silk and satin scarf and bonnet to reduce friction and preserve the style.
    •    Apply a few drops of our AjahsBeautyBase Hair Growth Oil along your scalp to keep it nourished underneath your braids.
