How to Maintain Flip Over Fulani Braids

Maintaining Flip Over Fulani Braids requires proper care to keep them looking fresh and neat. Here are some tips to help you maintain your Flip Over Fulani Braids:

First, ensure your braids are professionally installed using good-quality synthetic or human hair. The installation process sets the foundation for how well your braids will hold up over time.
When sleeping, tie your braids up in a satin or silk scarf or use a satin pillowcase to prevent friction that can cause frizz and damage to your braids while you sleep.

Always keep your scalp and braids moisturized to prevent dryness and breakage. You can use a water-based leave-in conditioner or a lightweight oil such as jojoba or argan oil to lightly moisturize your braids and scalp. Be careful not to overdo it, as excessive moisture can lead to mildew or an unpleasant odor.
Use a small amount of a lightweight hair gel or serum to tame any frizz or flyaways along the length of your braids and curls. Rub the product between your palms and gently smooth it over the braids and curls.
As time goes on, you may notice some braids looking frayed or ragged at the ends. Carefully trim these to maintain a neat appearance. However, do not stay with the hairstyle for long. Flip Over Fulani Braids are generally left in for 4-8 weeks, depending on your hair type and how well you’ve cared for them.
