i would probably leave the braids in for no more than 2-3 months.
i would spray my hair with J&B by oyin. oil my scalp with coconut oil and carols daughter lisa hair elixer.
ETA: i would also oil the braids with cocoasta or castor oil.
i know im not gonna co wash while my hair is braided up because im scared that would cake stuff all in between the braids and stuff. if i need to clean my scalp i heard about which hazel on a q tip and running it along your scalp.

Che if you decide to get your braids they sell braid shampoo at the bss. It's not all natural but a brand that i know of is better braids also you can wash your scalp with a wig cap. Just cover the top with the wig cap and shampoo and rinse like that. It helps keep down the frizz and keeps them looking fresh. HTh

Okay. I'm glad you have a plan.
I just didn't want you to get them and take them out the next day.

@T, i am so famous for braiding my hair(when i was relaxed) and then taking it out in less than a week lol. i just always miss my hair soooo much. but this time im doing it because its starting to get cool here already and i just need a change.
also yall my hair is all over the place. you know i kept complaining that my bang area is soooo thin? well it was heat damaged so im letting the hair grow out and then cutting the ends off slowly. well anyway its grown in so much now, i have about 2 inches of natural hair in that area now. and i think the reason its so thin is because its a completely different texture. that hair only in that section looks like its 3a or something. it shines with no product at all and is so silky. it looks just like my dads hair. that bothers me though when i think about getting braids because that hair may be more fragile. but im going to do research this week on how to take care of my hair in braids because if im still feeling like braiding it up soon i may do it this saturday morning. i have a party to go to saturday night so i can walk in that thang lookin all types of fresh lmao.
@Shay i know you purchased the coconut butter from sunshine. you know she has a new product which is shea butter, olive oil and vit. e. im gonna get that because she has a pic of it on her hand and it looks so creamy.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you they send samples. I love
hemp hairdressing.Why are you tempting me? I will take a look at it but I'm thinking of making my own concoctions with shea butter. It is so moisturizing.
ETA--I just went to her etsy site and she is too funny. She was like why buy the shea butter, buy the extra ingredients, break out the measuring cups, etc when you can have someone else do it for you? LOL!

Its runny like a lotion. And is karess krafters the same as la vida given by nature, they almost have the same website layout.

@Shay, i should just make my own because i have an unopened thing of african shea butter and im tempeted to get to mixing. matter of fact yep im gonna make my own tonight. it wont have vit. e though. it will just be shea butter, olive oil, honey, and maybe jbco. im gonna keep mixing it every couple of minutes so it can be as creamy as i can get it.

Nope. The reason I say no--I don't have personal experience bc I've only ordered from Karess--is bc "original pusha" has ordered from both places. I figure why order from both if they are the same.
See that's what I'm talking about. I may drag myself outta here on Wednesday so I can finally buy a mixer.

Ya'll I was thinking (just now while under the dryer)
"When" I get some length on Me, I think I might invest in a Pibbs.
Perhaps, when I reach my first "Goal" Full, Healthy Chin Length.

Welp that's all she wrote for me!
I ain't paying that much for some water with a little bit of butter mixed in with some oils and vitamin E
I bet you 90% water at least!

Okay let me just ask--so you gonna use your Pibbs and your steamer? This from a person that has a heated cap, hooded dryer, and steamer. But I have specific purposes for eachYa'll I was thinking (just now while under the dryer)

. Do you plan to rollerset? I don't rollerset because I don't care about having straight hair. Besides I ain't got that kind of patience. You are too much!
