That’s a myth. Getting your hair done in any of the latest hair braid styles will not harm your hair. In fact, having your hair braided will probably help with your hair growth and health.
When you have your hair braids done you no longer need to use any relaxers or other chemicals associated with perms. That’s a plus in itself because it gives your hair a break from the harshness of those chemicals. If you have your hair braided by a professional who knows what they’re doing, that’s also important.
Here’s a few reason why your hair will break and fall out once you have your hair braided:
- Never, ever allow your hair to be braided too tight. By tight, I mean to the point where you actually feel your scalp pulling. This puts stress on the hair and will cause breakage.
- Never treat your hair with a chemical relaxer just before you have your braids done. Not only is it unhealthy but it also destroys the hair peptide bonds which give your hair its natural strength.
- It’s best not to leave your hair braids in too long. Have them taken down, your scalp treated and then get them redone. The reason is that as your hair grows it can start matting together causing a locking process where it actually starts tightening, causing breakage.
- Always have your hair taken down by a professional hair braider who will make sure to take the proper amount of care to prevent hair loss and breakage.
- You must maintain those hair braids properly. Wash your scalp at least twice a month with Dudu Osum Hair Softening Shampoo and Conditioner and then treat your hair and scalp with Dudu Osum Oil and Moisturizer. If your scalp is itchy, we suggest treating it with Dudu Osum Braiding Spray. Not washing and conditioning your hair will cause clogged pores and your scalp will not be able to breathe, which causes hair loss.

When it comes time to shampoo, use a dry shampoo to clean your hair. That way everything stays in place and won’t get washed out. From there you can do a full shampoo every four weeks but make sure you cover your braids with a stocking cap to keep your hair from becoming undone.
Doing these few things will always keep your hair looking fresh and will help stimulate new growth.

Shea butter comes from the nut of the Karite tree which is found in West Africa. It has a very high content of all natural antioxidants and essential fatty acids that, when you apply them to your skin, will moisturize and help with restoration of your cells.
It easily absorbs into your skin and will help repair and heal dry and cracking elbows and knees. Some even say it helps them with the eczema. It can be applied to your face if you have dry skin but be careful not to apply too much or it will plug your pores. Also Shea butter can be used on your hair as a conditioner to protect it from dryness. Like applying it to your face, start off with a small amount, rub it into your hands and then run your hands through your hair. It’s best not to apply it to your scalp because, just like your face, it can clog your pores.
Some of the benefits in using Shea butter:
- Shea butter is a natural and very intensive mosturizer. It’s perfect for dry and cracking skin, damaged hair and softening rough spots like ones that sometimes show up on your elbows, knees, heels or cuticles.
- It provides natural sun protection for your skin and hair. It’s not sunscreen though and should not be used in place of that.
- It can help heal cuts and burns and will eliminate some scarring.
- It works great on bumps or rashes from shaving.
- Shea butter will bring back the elasticity of your skin.
- If you have any skin ailments like eczema or psoriasis it can help treat them.
You find that many of our products contain Shea Butter. To check them out, just go to our shop.
