New School Year, New Hair Style

Every time the beginning of the school year starts, I start off with single braids for many more reaons than 1. But I'm still not sure how to wash them w/o having them look a horrible mess afterwards. Also, I spend the rest of the school year repairing the damage that the braids caused such as the pulling out of my edges and the excessive dryness of my ends from not getting enough moisture. And by the time my hair is fully back to its original health; what do you know, its the beginning of another school year, and here comes even more braids. (Yes I kno , its horrible) But Neways, can someone teach me the proper way of taking care of my braids?

o0o i leave my braids in for about 2 months and the reason that i dont wash them is because they always end up looking bad afterwards. and no matter how much spray i put in it. the ends always end up being dry

try oiling your braids

thank u guys 4 all the help... i hope it works lolz
