Regim with braids?

[simplyme1985]

Would anyone happen to have a regime for braids? I was thinking that before i get my relaxer i'm going to braid my hair for a month or so and was wondering if anyone had any advice as to conditioning? washing? how to maintain ?

Robin from growafrohairlong.com, has a great regimen on her site. A lot of people have had great results following it. The link is below:

I am also using Robin's techniques for the care of my braids. I also have a tea of amla, bhringraj and brahmi powders and a few drops of essential oil that I use as a rinse that I spray on my scalp and roots for strengthening purposes. This is an added tip I got from Sareca.

I only wash my braids every 2 weeks though because for me, every week is too much manipulation and I really don't want my hair to matt up. I re-do my edges every 4 weeks and remove braids every 8 weeks and have them re-done 2 weeks later. NB: Your edges should be re-done every 2 to 3 weeks.
