I can assume no one here knows how to care for braids, Washing: I washed my braids last night. First I purchased a wig cap then I diluted clarifying shampoo (You choose) I allowed my braids to air dry. Once they were dried I moisturized with moisturizer( you choose)
 and sealed with (you choose) . Now its your turn to post don't just stop and look. ------------- Hair Type: Relaxed 4a/C/i from the motherland Goals 1. To thicken hair ~ on going 2. S/L 07/08 Geriton Complete Biotin 5mg MSM 1000mg |
so I'm give up the information that I have found on other forums.
. I put the wig cap on my braid to cut down on fizzies and I saturated my hair with water and some diluted shampoo. I massage gently between the boxes. I did this twice. After washing I conditioned!
I too, diluted this with water. I rinsed and squeezed all of the water from the stocking cap and took a towel and soaked up the rest of the water.Posted By: bellecheveux

I shampoo with a sulfate-free shampoo like CON, condition with Suave or Nexxus, and deep condition with ORS. For moisturizing I use S-Curl. ------------- http://coarsehair.blogspot.com - The Coarse Hair Diary // http://coarsehair.blogspot.com - My Fotki |

This is my braids regimen:
*Wash once a week with baking soda and condition with leave-in conditioner (Infusium 23 moisturizing leave-in)
*Moisturize daily w braid spray
*Baggy daily to keep my ends healthy
*Massage scalp with EVOO or Shakakai oil once a week before wash
*Redo edges every 2-3 weeks to prevent thinning/breakage
I've gotten a lot of growth and retained a lot of length using this. ------------- http://www.fotki.com/beautywitch - My Pics

This keeps the moisturizer in the hair for a long time and helps prevent split ends.

I dont like to wash my hair while I have braids on them
1. beacuse my hair is naturally frizzy and nothing seem to prevent this issue. So usually after 2 weeks of the braid my hair starts to stick out if I wash them I might as well take them out. I always keep my braids in for 2 1/2 weeks or 3 weeks on the dot.
Well I moisturize my hair twice a day using 2 of my favriote products. I have type 4a/b which means my hair tends to get very dry it just sucks up everything. I use a bonnet every night and drink alot of water.
Talking about braids I only had mines in for 1 1/2 week and it already look jack up. It so freaking hot that I just want to remove them.
