How To Care For African Waist Beads
Like all items of jewellery you may be wondering, what is the best way to care for my African Waist Beads?Here we answer your questions and give you some practical pointers to ensuring your waist beads last and stay beautiful.Can I bathe with my waist beads on? Yes you most defiantly can. Just make sure when toweling yourself, you pat gently on your beads instead of rubbing at them vigorously
How should I store my waist beads?
You can store your beads in a jewellery box, a dedicated purse or even hang them up on a wall or in your wardrobe.
Can I wear my waist beads during a gym workout? This completely depends on the positioning of your waist beads and what type of exercise you are engaging in.
If your beads are snugly wrapped around your waist (belly button level) and you are weight lifting then there is no need to worry they will snap as you can simply tuck them up into your bra!
However if you wear them loosely around your hips and you plan on doing star jumps or dance aerobics then we suggest tucking your waist beads into your underwear or removing them altogether and then putting them back on after your workout session.
