Can you DC with braid extensions?

[eunique]

Just wondering.

..............

Is that a yes?

I'm glad this question is asked. Cause I'm following the c&g method.

When are you suppose to DC.. when your washing the hair once a week.?
And what kind of DC. Wouldnt that make the braids fall out?

 

[eunique]

Thanks. I was wondering, I just don't want them to slip out.

Yout absolutely can deep condition your hair while it is in braids. I try to do this for about 20-30 mins.

I have a really simple procedure that works well. I use alternate between two deep conditioners and I use them once a week. About once a I will add coconut oil or amla oil to my DC.

I deep condition with ORS. I know many people believe that it's too thick and would cause the braids to slip out but it doesen't. My braider ties a knot at the ends. I never have problems with loose braids. My braids only comes out when I am ready to remove them. My hair feels so healthy and soft after doing this.

Wow... I remeber re-reading this..and remebering when I wore braids. I would only wash them out with shampoo when it smelled bad. Or there were times I didnt wash them at all. Hence all that matting of first that was left in my braids.

So I guess you would dc and wash your hair like every week?

When I heard that you have to wash your hair almost every week.

I thought to myself "You want me to do what... with that..You want me to put where...."

I guess its the myth you dont wash your braids.

 

[tsturnbu]

yes.
i dc'ed every 2 eeks when i had my braids in. i used ultra cholesterol by dark and lovely. be carefu not to put the dc on your roots though...you will get a lot of build up that way. onlu put it on the actual braids..about an inch from scalp.

You can but I personally would'nt recommend putting lots of oils, grease, and thick creams in the hair while in braids because it causes lots of buildup and matting. I would wash the hair, then add your braid spray and leave in conditioner and then sit under the dryer. Rinse then add your leave in and braid spray again. Growafrohairlong.com has a full section on how you can wash and condition your braids. HTH

Thank You, yeah I read into that..and got soo confused. I think I read into it soo much I quite didnt understand and had alot of what ifs

Was wierded out about "how often" your suppose to wash your braids..


But luckily today I got the braid spray. And Infusium 23 (this was a toughie) cause they changed the packaging. I think I got the right one.

 

[Neish222]

Ok, stop reading my mind... it's creepy! :crystalba :wink2:

What she said. Here's my procedure...

1. I put 1 capful of poo in an empty 16oz bottle, add a little water and shake it until it's smooth and foamy.
2. Fill the bottle with water. I brought a 69 cent funnel from walmart that I keep in the shower along with 2 empty water bottles (one for poo and one for conditioner).
3. I put that over my scalp and squeeze down the length.
4. After shampoo'g, rinse and add 2-3 cap fulls of conditioner with water
5. Pour the conditioner-water over my hair avoiding my scalp
6.Wring hair out as much as possible and put it in a loose ponytail, then wrap that into a bun.
7. Put a grocery store bag (it probably won't all fit in a plastic shower cap) and sit under the dry for 20 minutes (or however long you usually DC).
8. Rinse.
9. Get back under the dryer for 10 minutes just so that it's not dripping wet.
10. Sponge on another leave-in (Eqyss Avocado Mist or Rehydrant)
11. Apply my homemade red palm cream to any exposed hairs. Usually the roots (after a few weeks of growth) and over the top to get any little hair sticking out of the braids).
12. Every couple days, melt some more moisturizer, put it in an empty squirt bottle and saturate my braids.

[glamazon386]

I've never tried it. I always assumed the braids would slip. I just use a spray.

Thank you so much ladies!

Great post! Thank you!!

I always deep condition with my braids in.I always redo them,so the build-up and slipping is not a problem for me.I even did a protein treatment with braids in

I retained somuch of my new growth,and my hair didn't break off or dry up like it did before i discovered the C&G method.
