The Best Scalp Care Routine for Braided Styles

Braided styles are not only beautiful, but they also offer great protection for your natural hair. However, maintaining a healthy scalp while wearing braids is crucial to preventing discomfort and ensuring your hair thrives. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the best scalp care routine for braided styles using REIN’s products.

Step 1: Cleanse Regularly
One of the biggest misconceptions about wearing braids is that you don’t need to wash your hair often. While you don’t need to wash your hair as frequently, it’s important to cleanse your scalp to remove any buildup from oils or sweat. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to keep your scalp clean without disturbing your braids.

Step 2: Moisturize Daily
Your scalp can easily become dry and itchy under braids, so daily hydration is essential. 

Step 3: Protect Your Edges
Braids can sometimes put extra stress on your edges, leading to breakage. To avoid this, use Leave-In Conditioner around your edges to keep them soft and moisturized. Gently massaging your edges will also help stimulate growth.

Step 4: Soothe and Treat Scalp
If you start to notice any scalp irritation or itching, apply a few drops of REIN’s Ultimate Hair Serum directly to the scalp. The REINSHINE and Lavender blend will soothe and calm irritation while restoring balance to the scalp.


With the right routine and products, you can keep your scalp healthy and comfortable while rocking your braids. REIN’s braid-friendly products are designed to hydrate, soothe, and protect your scalp so your braids look great and feel even better.
