How to Care for Stitch Braids
Scalp care and braid upkeep are especially important when wearing a protective style. Make sure to keep your strands moisturized and gently cleanse your scalp to keep everything in tip-top shape.
We recommend using a product like SheaMoisture Wig & Weave Tea Tree & Borage Seed Oil Scalp Soother. This formula is infused with Tea Tree Oil, Borage Seed Oil, and Aloe Vera, which help moisturize the scalp immediately. Use the pointed tip applicator to target your scalp with ease and quickly relieve any tightness or itchiness.
