    Twist braiding demands a committed nightly regimen as well as an appropriate moisture level. Frizz occurs due to friction, hence the need to ensure that your hair is protected with a good-quality silk or satin bonnet/scarf every night. As a back-up, the use of silk pillowcases proves beneficial. To keep the twists looking fresh, apply a firm-hold foaming mousse once or twice a week, wrapping your hair with a do rag or scarf while the mousse dries to “set” the flyaways back into the braid.
    Hydration is also vital; use a lightweight leave-in conditioner spray or a specialized braid spray to keep your natural hair moisturized beneath the braiding hair extensions. Stay away from thick cream that creates build-up in the roots, which will result in itching and early frizz. In case you have dry skin, use the spray bottle to put on some natural oil, such as jojoba and peppermint oil, in the areas where it is needed. When you wash your hair, clean only the scalp and allow the soap to flow into the coils.
