    Caring for medium box braids is crucial for maintaining healthy hair and a well-groomed appearance. To start, it’s important to keep your scalp moisturized. Use lightweight oils or sprays to prevent dryness and itchiness, which can be common with braids. When it comes to washing your braids, opt for a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping moisture. You can gently cleanse your scalp by applying a diluted shampoo solution using a spray bottle, ensuring that you don’t disturb the braids too much. Regularly checking your braids for any signs of wear or frizz is essential; if you notice any issues, consider redoing the affected sections. At night, protect your hair by wearing a silk scarf or bonnet to minimize variance and preserve the style. Additionally, avoid excessive tension when styling your braids to prevent breakage. With proper care, medium box braids can last several weeks, making them a convenient and stylish protective hairstyle.
