Replies: Posted By: Mrs_Delacruz Date Posted: July 19 2002 at 4:38pm Well I had braids once and my mom would tie them in a bun (depending on how long they were) and would put a stocking cap over my head. Next i would rinse under cool water and put a dime sized amount of shampoo on the stocking cap and massage it gently though. I would rinse again until no more suds showed up and when i was done my braids hadnt loosened or frizzed a bit. It actually looked better wet. Dont just shampoo directly under the water as you do with regular hair. You`ll loosen the knots if you have extentions if you do it that way. ------------- "I love My Antonio Delacruz!. Muuuahhhh"
