BRAIDSHOW TO TAKE CARE OF BRAIDS
HOW TO CARE FOR HAIR IN BRAIDS
Hi ladies, I hope this is meeting you all in wellness. I
should have put this post up since but I got hooked in so many other things and
I am so sorry for that.
This post is actually
supposed to be a two in one but I decided to split it into two posts so it will
not look cumbersome. This post will be about how to care for the hair while
wearing braids and the other one will be how to care for the hairline. The later
will be coming up very soon.
HOW TO CARE FOR THE
HAIR WHILE WEARING BRAIDS.
SHAMPOOING-Shampooing
the hair while wearing braids is very essential to make the hair clean and also
to minimize knots that could be caused by dirt in each braid. This may seem
impossible to some, you might be wondering how possible it is to shampoo a head
full of very long braids, well, it’s possible, and there are other methods on
how people shampoo their braids but am going to be showing you I do mine. I
shampoo my braids just like I shampoo my real hair, #pictures below…
It might be necessary
to dilute the shampoo with water first before applying it so as to make it
easier to rinse out from the braids.

CONDITIONING-It
would jot really feel nice to shampoo the hair without conditioning it,
conditioning the hair after shampooing helps to restore moisture that might
have been ripped off from the harsh effect of the shampoo(if sulphate),a
moisturizing conditioner is a good choice when it comes to shampooing the hair
in braids. I actually used a blend of vo5 moisturizing conditioner and ors
replenishing conditioner to deep condition, I wore a shower cap and let it be
for about 20 minutes because I was such in a hurry that day and I rinsed the
conditioner off and squeezed water out of the braids. #pictures below…

OILING-After
shampooing and conditioning/deep conditioning, I used a towel to dry the braids
although it was quite but not too heavy after rinsing, after drying with air, I
oiled my scalp with coconut oil to seal the moisture in and also to add
nutrient to the hair as well as shine. I also oiled the length of the braids
with the same oil. #pictures below…
STYLING-After
doing the above, I just simply pack my braids into a ponytail and roll the ends
in to form a bang and voila…..
I do this every two weeks
