I put in braids 2 weeks ago, prior to that had a weave with a net underneath. I didn't have too many problems with maintainance. On washing I just made sure to lift all the lines of hair to expose the net underneath. I've been using ayurvedic powder tea rinses, I'd just pour the tea directly onto the net and it would pass through onto the hair. Applying conditioner was the hardest .... I'd just apply it on the net then massage it in, until it had seeped in through the net. When I started mixing my conditioner with oils, it of course became more watery, but it made it easier to get through the net.
My regimen:
Wash and condition using ayurvedic powders 2x a week
Deep condition 2x a week
Clarify 1x a month
Dilute shampoo 1x a month
I've only started using megatek in the past two days aswell.
That's it. HTH!
