It helps to have some hair clips or rubber bands to keep stray hairs out of the way while you're working. The best comb for parting is a "pick" or a "rat tail" comb.
Hair should be clean and mildly damp but not soaking wet. Keep a spray bottle nearby.
For straight hair you may need to use a
hair wax
that is based on distilled water, not oil. It looks sort of like
a firm gel. Ice Wax
and Redkin Water Wax
are good ones.
Very tightly curly hair should be treated
with a moisturizer that does not break down too soon. This excludes
most hair creams except Cornrow Magic
or specific products. The best thing to use is a hair food or hair
grease, or a natural oil mixture.
Remember that it is precise braiding, not
pulling hard from the scalp, that makes a long lasting style. Pulling
too hard from the scalp does nothing to help a style to last. It
only leads to pain and hair loss.
