Post-Wash Essentials
Lightweight Hair Care That Works: Your Guide to the Braes Serum, Detangling Spray & Thickening Spray
The secret to great hair isn't just what you do on wash day — it's what you apply afterward. Meet the three lightweight heroes that complete your routine.
Shampoo and condition — then what? Most people towel-dry and call it done, missing out on the most important step of all: locking in moisture, sealing the cuticle, and giving your hair the targeted care it needs to thrive.
Braes has developed three post-wash essentials designed to work together or independently — the Argan + Keratin + B5 Hair Serum, the Detangling Leave-In Spray, and the Intensive Leave-In Hair Thickening Spray. Here's everything you need to know about each one and how to use them like a pro.
1. Braes Hair Serum
Argan Oil + Hydrolyzed Keratin + Pro Vitamin B5 | 50ml – 350 EGP | 35ml – 280 EGP
If you've ever run your fingers through your hair and wished it felt like silk, the Braes Hair Serum is your answer. This lightweight formula combines three of the most powerful hair ingredients available — Argan Oil, Hydrolyzed Keratin, and Pro Vitamin B5 — into a single, non-greasy serum that transforms dull, frizzy hair into something extraordinary.
The Power Trio Inside
Rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, Argan Oil coats each strand with a weightless layer of shine, tames flyaways, and protects from heat and environmental damage.
Keratin is the protein your hair is made of. Hydrolyzed Keratin fills in the gaps and cracks in the hair cuticle, smoothing it flat and dramatically reducing frizz, breakage, and split ends.
Panthenol (Pro-B5) penetrates the hair shaft and binds to moisture, keeping it locked in all day. It also adds volume and body without any heaviness or stickiness.
How to Use the Hair Serum
- After washing, gently blot your hair with a microfiber towel until it's damp but not dripping.
- Dispense 2–3 drops of serum into your palm (for longer or thicker hair, use up to 5 drops).
- Rub palms together to warm the serum and distribute evenly across both hands.
- Apply from mid-length to ends — avoid the roots to prevent any weighing down at the scalp.
- Comb through gently with a wide-tooth comb to ensure even coverage.
- Style as usual — air dry or blow dry. The serum acts as a heat protectant up to moderate temperatures.
2. Braes Detangling Leave-In Spray
120ml – 170 EGP
Detangling your hair shouldn't feel like a battle. Whether you're dealing with post-wash knots, wind-blown tangles, or stubborn curls that refuse to cooperate, the Braes Detangling Leave-In Spray makes the process effortless — and actually leaves your hair healthier for it.
Most of the breakage people experience happens not during washing, but during detangling. Forcing a comb through dry, knotted hair causes snapping, splitting, and thinning over time. A leave-in spray softens the hair shaft and lubricates each strand, allowing knots to slip apart with minimal force — meaning dramatically less breakage.
When to Use It
Spray on damp hair immediately after rinsing conditioner. Start at the ends and work upward.
Spray lightly on dry hair before brushing in the morning to refresh and smooth any sleep tangles.
Keep in your bag for quick touch-ups when wind or humidity causes frizz and tangles throughout the day.
Perfect for detangling thick, curly, or children's hair with minimal fuss and zero tears.
How to Use
- Shake well before each use to activate all ingredients.
- Section your hair into manageable parts for thorough coverage.
- Spray generously on each section, focusing on the ends where tangles are worst.
- Start from the ends and work upward with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers — never drag from root to tip.
- Leave in — no rinsing needed. Style as desired.
3. Braes Intensive Leave-In Hair Thickening Spray
200ml – 250 EGP
Thin, flat hair is one of the most common hair concerns — and one of the hardest to address without the right products. The Braes Intensive Leave-In Hair Thickening Spray is formulated to build visible volume, strengthen existing strands, and create the appearance of fuller, thicker hair — while actually making it stronger over time.
Unlike traditional volumising sprays that rely on alcohol and drying agents to puff up the hair, this spray nourishes from within, building real structural strength while adding the visible volume you want.
Who Needs the Thickening Spray?
- Anyone with naturally fine or thin hair who wants more volume and body
- Hair that's been thinned by stress, postpartum changes, or nutritional deficiencies
- Hair recovering from over-processing, bleaching, or heat damage
- Anyone who wants their hair to feel denser, stronger, and more resilient
- People experiencing gradual hair thinning who want to maximise the appearance of fullness
How to Apply for Maximum Volume
- Apply to damp hair after washing and towel drying — this is when the formula can best penetrate the hair shaft.
- Spray all over, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths where volume matters most.
- Work through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb for even distribution.
- Flip your hair upside down while blow drying at the roots — this is the single biggest trick for adding visible volume at the crown.
- Finish with cool air to set the style and maximise lift.
- No rinsing needed — the formula leaves no heaviness or residue.
