Do you use a cream or gel when adding braided extensions?

[soslychic]

Hey yall! I'm getting braids tomorrrow with kanekalon hair and wanted to know what recs you all have for a good hair moisturtizer/cream or gel to use when braiding to add shine and control frizzies. I prefer something without cones and if it is a gel, a non-drying one. TIA!

When i use to get my hair done at the shop, the most they used was
A gel, like Jam or Smooth n shine for the edges
Grease--for the parts
Leavein liquid spray or braidspray once finished for the braids
Oil sheen once finished for the braids

Sometimes i would come in with airdryed or blowdryed hair w/no product, and they would tell me it was to dry, and they would put grease wallbash, oil, or a regular hair creme on my hair.

Other times i would come in with already moisturized hair, and they would tell me it was too greasy and oily rolleyes

So nothing much really.

When I used to braid, I used jam or a cream oil moisturiser.

I use Profectiv in the pink jar when I redo my braids.
