Boho Braids: How to Keep the Curls Fresh

The loose curls are what make boho braids beautiful — and they are also the part that needs the most attention.

Keep the curls moisturized

Lightly mist the curls with water or a leave-in conditioner when they start to feel dry, then let them air dry. Avoid heavy oils that weigh curls down.

Detangle gently

Separate curls with your fingers, not a brush. Work from the ends up.

Protect them at night

Pineapple the curls — gather them loosely on top of your head — and cover with a satin bonnet. More in our night-care guide.
