I use qhemet's aohc but you could use any type of moisturizer you want even diluted moisturizing conditioner will work. Once weaved up I suggest getting a spray bottle and diluting any moisturizer with water and spraying the braids 2-3 times a week (I have been using kinky curly knot today and water 1:1 ratio in a spray bottle and it has been working great so far).

I would do a protein treatment and then DC.
