Deep condition and detangle your own hair.
As for your own strands, don’t just wash and dry your hair and go. Some people like to do protein treatments on their hair to strengthen strands before they are braided. If that’s not your thing, at least deep condition your strands and detangle them ahead of your appointment. Detangle brushes on the market currently do great work and help to stretch strands.
