Prepping the hair and scalp for unbraiding is critical. Even though braids spare the hair damage because they require less day-to-day styling treatment, build-up from hair sprays, shampoos, conditioners and other products can weaken hair and cause breakage.

Following weeks or months of braids that may have included adding synthetic or human hair extensions, the natural hair needs special attention to prepare for future styling. Better Braids Medicated Unbraid combines natural herbs with a special oil blend to condition and strengthen hair.

It's also medicated to heal and protect the scalp. Cool peppermint helps soothe the scalp. Olive Oil and Coconut Oils restore and seal moisture in the scalp and hair. The Salicylic Acid in this formula works to heal the scalp and alleviate flaking and itching following damage from vigorous treatment.

Even though detangling is easier when hair is wet, hair when wet can be weaker than dry hair so it is important to use a dampening agent that provides protection from breakage. Braids Medicated Unbraid will provide this protection while detangling and combing the hair. To prevent breakage and make hair easier to comb use Better Braids Medicated Unbraid prior to unbraiding.
