Tips To Avoid Hair Damage
When making braiding patterns, many women use extensions; however, we suggest using human hair extensions where possible. These human hair extensions are always a little more costly than extensions of synthetic hair, but a much more natural-looking hairstyle would be produced by human hair. Tight braids can also cause hair loss. Make sure that your scalp and your hair are kept clean once the braids are placed. Holding your hair covered during the night is still a smart idea. This helps to make sure that the braids last longer and keep looking fine. However, you do not want to keep the braids forever, and 6-8 weeks will be the best recommended. In terms of maintaining healthy hair, just as the installation is necessary, so is removal. The use of oil during the process of removal also helps with detangling. When you cut the braids, use your fingers to detangle your hair. You want to make sure you get rid of the hair that was shed, as well. During both the installation and the removal processes, take good care of your hair. Note that installing braids or twists too tightly is not the most important thing. Since you mounted your box braids wrong, you do not want to experience permanent hair loss. One of the most flexible ways to show off your hair is often to use box braids. You can show off your braids several ways once they are mounted and several ways to style them.I will tell you how to do jumbo braids in simple steps. Let’s get into the process.

Steps To Make Jumbo Braids
With the help of the parting comb, part your hair horizontally into two halves, i.e., the front and the back. Tie the front section and begin with the section of the hair at the back. Divide the back section again into three horizontal parts. Leave the last part and tie the other two parts separately. In the last section, take a very small portion of hair, apply edge control gel all over the hair, brush it, and tie it into a ponytail. Similarly, make two more ponytails. Untie the second section of the hair. By following step 5, make four separate ponytails in this portion. Similarly, by the following step 5, make three ponytails in the first section of the hair at the back. Braid ponytails in the front section, as you did at the back. When you are done with the ponytails, take the extensions. Grab the first hair extension, pinch the weft into a U-shape with your fingers, and curl up the weft under and around the first section of natural hair at your scalp’s base. Now, divide it into three equal parts and weave it into a simple braid. Do it with all the ponytails on your head. Secure the ends with a hair tie. Your jumbo braid is ready.
