All the oil you see on my hand is from the client’s hair. An excessive amount of oil before braids prevents the braiding pomade from reaching the hair and “sitting” on top of the oil, which leads to the white residue. Using a heat protectant before blow drying is all you need. Oil can be applied after install. #braids #hair #healthyhair #hairtutorial #knotless #2023 #newyear #braidtutorial #boxbraids #art
