My regimen has been...braids...braids...braids...and more braids (extensions).


Like the good renegade that i am, i also braid my hair back to back to back...like within 2 to 3 days of braid sets.

Thanks!

You are so much better than I am. I can't stick to anything. Well, it's working for you. I can't wait to see the ginormous puffs you end up with.
 
That is a brilliant idea :yep: ie not to braid edges at all!

I will do the same :-)
Thanks MSA!

My regimen has been...braids...braids...braids...and more braids (extensions).
I keep my hair braided a majority of the time. I'm reluctant to call it a crown and glory because I do not follow any of the advice/guidelines on the site. When i first started to braid my hair up, i used African Royale braid spray maybe 3 times a week, and washed every 2 weeks.

Now, i don't use braid sprays or infusium...i just spritz my hair with water every few days. When i get dandruff, i spray my scalp (and sometimes mist my entire head ) with ORS nature shine (natural oils). Thats it..i dont even shampoo my hair at 2 week intervals anymore (i know, i know :ohwell:).

Like the good renegade that i am, i also braid my hair back to back to back...like within 2 to 3 days of braid sets. Luckily, my hair has been flourishing. I get larger sized individual braids, i tell the braiders not to put so much hair on my head or braid tightly, and i DO NOT let them braid my edges. I section off my edges and tell them not too touch my sectioned off areas. Sometimes ill loosely braid the edges myself, but 95% of the time they are out and free (I wear my braids over my hairline, kind of like a swoop with the braids, so you cant see my edges anyway).

Whenever i take my braids out I:
prepoo (this time used lekair cholesterol),
wash (creme of nature..though i REALLY want to get away from poos bc it did strip my hair)
deep condition (used Dudley's hair mask/mud treatment)
apply a liquid leave in strengthener (usually Fermodyl)

I then air dry in about 6 or 7 braids and throw a scarf on. I sometimes use grease/oil to attempt to seal the moisture into my hair, but that never works, lol. The pics in this thread are pre-wash and without product.
