A proper clarifying wash and condition, either as a standalone service or added before your braiding appointment so your braider starts from a genuinely clean base.
Available 24 hours · No deposit to ask a question
Braiding onto dirty or product-heavy hair is a false economy. Build-up at the root loosens the braid base, causes itching within days and shortens the life of the whole style. A clarifying wash removes that build-up so the braid grips clean hair and holds properly.
Our wash service covers a clarifying shampoo, a deep conditioning treatment matched to your hair’s condition, and a thorough rinse. Add it to any braiding appointment when you book, or come in for it on its own — it is also the correct first step before a loc retwist, so your braider is working on a residue-free root.

Before — natural hair, pre-appointment
After — finished hair wash
After a wash, let your hair dry fully before any style goes in — braiding damp hair traps moisture at the root. If you are between styles, keep the scalp lightly moisturised and avoid heavy oils that will need clarifying out again at your next appointment.
