BESTTT INVESTMENT AS A FULL TIME BRAIDER

JUST GET THE BIG ONE SIS! I promise you’ll spend less in the long wrong.

1/23 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who has been a full-time braider for several years, I can confidently say that investing in high-quality products makes all the difference. For example, using a reliable braid gel like the BRAID GE AllDay Locks Cornrow Braid Gel offers extreme hold and works excellently as an edge gel. It helps maintain neat, long-lasting styles which your clients will appreciate. When I first started, I tried cheaper products, thinking it would save me money. But I ended up spending more because the styles didn’t last as long, requiring frequent touch-ups and sometimes even redo sessions. By switching to premium braid gels and edge control products, I save time and resources, which ultimately equals saving money. In addition to product quality, knowing what works best for your specific clientele’s hair types is essential. The right braid gel not only provides hold but also helps protect the hair from damage caused by friction and environmental factors. This leads to healthier hair and more satisfied customers who keep coming back. So my advice to anyone considering full-time braiding as a career is: Just get the big one, sis! Investing a bit more upfront on durable, trusted products ensures you’ll spend less in the long run, and helps build a reputation for excellent service. Your clients will notice the difference, and so will your bottom line.

Two pink jars of hair styling products are displayed with combs, under the title 'BUY OR BYE Braider edition,' comparing two hair styling products.
A pink jar of a hair styling product is shown with a 'BUY' label. Text describes its pleasant scent but notes its hold may not be strong enough for all hair types, suggesting other versions.
A pink jar of a hair styling product is shown with a 'BYE' label. Text indicates it causes build-up and flakes, suggesting combining it with another product for improved hold.

Comparing Shine n Jam vs Edge Booster for that perfect braid down. I prefer the Shine n Jam for its amazing scent, however in my opinion, the hold isn't that great alone for 4c hair. I prefer the red or yellow jar of shine n jam over the rainbow line. The edge booster honestly creates a lot
