MICRO BRAIDING CARE

[MzKenya]

Hello LHCF i just subscribed to the site (finally!) and from what i have seen in other post i know there sum folks here who will definitely help me with da start of my healthy hair journey

As of now im 8 weeks post relaxer but i decided to braid my hair in micros, not too small so it will be tight about a lil bigger. Its only been two weeks since i braided it and now im having really bad itching. im scared to wash it cuz i don't want da braids slipping out and i tried spraying some MOTIONS MARULA NATURAL THERAPY HAIR & SCALP OIL on my hair every other day but it only stops da itching for like a few hours erplexed

What i would lyk to know is what advice anyone could give me to take better care of my hair (washing? co-washing? sleeping on it? how to keep my scalp n hair moisturize?) lyk yo experience on micros good or bad and how long it would be best to keep them in? ( i usally do like 3-4 months) thanks

Hi there. I wore micros and Senegalese Twists while I transitioned from relaxed to natural. I did the Crown and Glory method. I did a technique similiar to this young lady:

Yt has plenty of videos on maintaining extensions. You can wash, cowash, and deep condition your hair. You just have to have the right technique.
