Braid Maintenance

How do you normally care for you braids? How often do you cleanse your scalp and / or wash your braids? What kind of moisturizer are best for braid user? If anyone cold pleas help me.

I can assume no one here knows how to care for braids, so I'm give up the information that I have found on other forums.

Washing: I washed my braids last night. First I purchased a wig  cap then I diluted clarifying shampoo (You choose) . 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.

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.

looks like this part of the site is getting more attention which is good. when i used to post over here sometimes, i would not even get any responses. i guess i was also used to the activity of the 360 waves section

This is my braids regimen:

[QUOTE=jaxhair]My first post... [/QUOTE] Bagging is a technique used to keep your ends moisturized and healthy. First a water based moisturizer is applied to the hair and then sealed in with oil (I sometimes skip this step if I will be wearing my hair loose the next day). The hair is the gathered in a pony (I use 3 ponies to make sure I get my bangs too) and the ends are cover with plastic wrap, bag or cap.

Thanks BW. I've since learnt loads about the baggy method and more!
