Oil the hair everyday and wash the hair at least every 3 weeks not too much because the hair can get frizzy. Also take the hair out after at the most 3 months. ------------- |

| In addition to that, get a silk scarf or satin one and wrap your braids with it so it wouldn't get ratty looking so quick. Plus keep your braids moisturized. |
