How to maintain knotless boho braids

Lazaros Sumbane, an award-winning creative hairstylist, shared with Briefly News that maintaining knotless boho braids is a simple task that requires the person to keep the braids clean, moisturised, and shining.

He explained to the publication:

"Wash your braids and scalp and then apply a conditioner onto your braids and scalp to deposit moisture and protect them from sun heat and dryness.

"Gently comb your braids with your fingers and massage the scalp. Then, rinse with warm water. Next, apply hair food or oil on the scalp while the braids are wet. Use any silky essential oil directly onto your wet braids and finger-comb to form curls and shine."
