Getting Braids in Two Weeks

[Iansan]

I decided to give myself a break from my hair, and am getting cornrows in two weeks. Any tips on how to prepare for them?

1. Deep Condition -Moisturizing, Light Protein, Heavy Protien?
2. Trimming- Before I get the cornrows, or After I take them out when I relax?


TIA

Before getting braids I usually clarify with Keracare first lather/nioxin. Then i do a protein treatment with either Affirm Sustenance fortifying conditioner or Aphogee. I use a deep conditioner/moisturizing either Lekair cholesterol cream/keracare humecto. I moisturise my hair well with natural butters and profective products. I would trim after i take my braids out at my touch-up.
