Caring for my hair in Box Braids

So, I have a great protective style for the end of summer/beginning of fall. I have wanted box braids for some time now, but I am too lazy to do them myself so I had someone do them for me! She did a great job!!!!!! Even though my hair is braided it is very important that I still make sure that it is well taken care of underneath! I have listed my regimen below. 

Before braids are installed:

1. Normally I would do this a few days before but I was pressed for time. . . but anyway, the night before I got my braids, I washed my hair thoroughly.
2. Once my hair was washed I did my protein treatment using Hair Mayonnaise. (I’m working on making my own protein treatment mixture and will be posting that soon!)
3. When I was done letting the treatment set in my hair, I washed that out well with my shampoo, and I conditioned my hair.
4. Once my hair was mostly dry, I massaged my oil mixture in, pulled it back into a ponytail, and then hit the road to get my hair done!

Daily: 

1. Put my oil mixture on my finger tips and massage it into my scalp and roots.
2. Spray with water and leave in conditioner mixture in order to seal in the oils

Every 2 Weeks: 

1. Wash with a diluted shampoo and condition right after.
2. To dry my hair I use a towel and just gently run it down my hair.
3. I then massage my oil mixture into my scalp and roots
4. Then spray in a leave in conditioner
5. Once these steps are completed I wrap my braids up tight in a plastic cap and then wrap a cloth scarf around it and sleep.
6. In the morning I just repeat my daily routine.

 When I remove my braids I will write about what I do after I take them out. :-) Please be sure to pass this on to your friends, share your ideas, follow and comment :-) Thanks for reading!
