Adrienne's Braid Regime

I wear medium individual braids.  I use Black & Gold Kanekelon synthetic hair.  Here is my regime.

• Wash hair once a week (or every other week) with diluted KeraCare Hydrating Detangling/Nizoral mix (to keep dandruff in check

Note: I was washing twice a week but had a problem with braids unraveling

• Condition with diluted KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner.

• Spray on 911 leave-in after towel drying (I honestly wasn't consistent with this step)

• After letting it air dry slightly, apply S-Curl No Drip or World of Curls activator (This step was KEY to my ends being healthy when I took the braids down.  The brand of activator isn’t as important as the application of it.)

•  Last, oil scalp. I use a color applicator bottle from the beauty supply. My oil mix contains basically any oils that I have available. However, the one that I like best is Hot Six, monoi, avocado and jojoba oils, with a few drops of rosemary and lavender essential oils

In addition to the above, I oil my scalp at least once a day, sometimes twice.  Also apply the activator and rub the oil mix on my braids every few days, or whenever they look dry.

I started doing hot oil treatments towards the end because I was worried about my hair being in the braids so long.

All of the products used are my personal preferences.  If you have something that works for you, by all means use it.
