Keep your style in tip-top shape with these four tips:

#1. Moisturize your scalp

How? Grab some argan oil or jojoba oil and gently massage it into your scalp every few days. Doing so will prevent flakiness and increase your hair health too.

#2. Get creative with color

Don’t feel boxed into just one tone! As we head into autumn, weaving in some deep red or golden-toned braiding hair is a great way to spice up your style and lean into the season.

#3 Lay those edges

Nothing ruins an epic baby hair moment faster than flakes. If you’re laying your edges, make sure you’re using a non-drying edge control product to get the job done.

#4 Have fun with beads

Accessories (like the one’s featured on today’s look) are an easy way to elevate your style with minimal effort. I personally love browsing the shops on Etsy for different options.
