Common mistakes that make any braiding spray feel wrong
Most issues come from application, not the product. Keep it simple.
- Spraying too close which can over wet one spot and feel heavy
- Using too much which can turn clean grip into tacky drag
- Skipping the single comb through which leaves uneven hold
- Trying to fix a tangled mane with spray brush smooth first, then mist
Best rule: light layers. Mist, comb once, braid. Repeat only if needed.
