Lol! I knew this was going to happen and had hoped it wouldn't happen so soon! I've barely had my braids in for 3 weeks and I'm beginning to miss my hair - I miss washing it; the therapeutic process of applying deep conditioner/henna/ayurvedic powders; moisturizing and sealing; and brushing it up into my yummy puff!
I'm determined to keep these braids in for at least 6 weeks - (Lord help me!) and so I'm just making sure I care for them and for my hair during this period.
My maintenance routine for now is limited to spraying my braids every single day with a braid sheen to which I added a bit of my Kinky Curly Knot Today conditioner, a few drops of peppermint and rosemary essential oils and a bit of my Argan oil serum (which has coconut, wheatgerm, Jamaican black castor and Argan oils).
