Braids on the 2008 LHCF Bootcamp

[Starburst954]

Im gonna join the 2008 bootcamp and for the first session I was thinking of putting in single braids, but i was wondering i want them to last the whole session or at least half i just want to know if any or you know how to maintain them keeping them fresh and not rusty looking while still sticking to my regimen of washing every week, or should i lessen and wash every two weeks. Also how to keep my scalp moisterized cause i do have a big dandruff problem. Just tell me what yall do and how you maintain if you have dandruff. Thank You

I joined as well and plan on wearing singles for the next couple of months, probably keeping a set in for about 6-7 weeks then rebraiding. In the past when I've worn extensions, when washing, I'd make sure to pour diluted shampoo/water only on my scalp and avoiding rubbing the braids when I massage my scalp to clean it, I never really have problems with extreme fuzziness, just normal wear and tear.

For dry scalp and braids, you may be better off washing every week, then using a light oil on your scalp, I use jojoba, or a braid spray for the itchies, you don't want too much dandruff buildup at the base of each braid . someone else probably has better advice, cause I sho' aint no expert!
