How should I prepare my hair before getting braids?

I’m planning to get braids soon and I want to make sure my hair is ready, but I’m not sure what I should actually be doing before my appointment. I know that my hair needs to be clean and washed, is there anything else I should do to prepare my hair?

    Start with clean, detangled hair. I also like to do a good deep condition. It’s also best to stretch or blow-dry your hair so it’s easier to braid. Avoid heavy oils or products before your appointment.
