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. |
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. $- P cn`dp0% 00BB .(4`p /.!-! !%(!) , ,,br /4 |

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. |

! `( #4 ( ` " 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.
