6 Products That'll Come in Handy When Installing Your Own Box Braids

Clean hair is essential for any style, which is why Taylor recommends starting off your braids with the Keira Ashley Hair + Scalp Cleanser ($25). "This oil removes buildup from the scalp and moisturizes, so I like to use it before I put braids in to ensure my scalp is super clean and free and clear of everything," she told POPSUGAR. "Of course, you can wash when your braids are in, but it always makes me feel better to start with that clean base."
