Taking care of braids.
In the past I would just have my braids in and not take care of them. After going fully natural this summer, I know that that isn't going to cut it at all..
Now, I realize I have to deep moisturize at least every two days as well as wash every two weeks and I can't keep them in for longer than necessary like I used to do.
Of course, now I need new products! My intense moisturizing leave-in conditioner is too heavy for my braids. I need something light and oily that I can spray and that's good for my scalp, because I've noticed some flaking (it might be my shampoo.)
Hopefully, my braids will last longer than they had. They're so itchy. I'm trying not to scratch though! I want them fresh for school in ONE WEEK :)
