How I Maintain My Relaxed Hair While In Braids

Hello there welcome or welcome back so this video is going to be all about. Oh, I maintain my knot. Let'S braid on my relaxed ear, so let's get right into it so the first week I did absolutely nothing. I did not apply any products to my scalp or any products to the braid for the first week. I just kept it 100 simple, so I did absolutely nothing to my hair. However, in the second week I did go out and purchase this product that I use on my scalp and basically, what it is is just a spray that will help to control itching, as you know, or may know that whenever you have in braids, sometimes it can Cause itching and for me I knew that I would my scalp would be itching me because I hadn't braid, and so this spray is good for natural hair, braided, hair or hair. That has been locked, and so it's nice. It'S not oil based it's quite water-based, and it does help with itching. So as it got down to the second week of my braid, my scalp was definitely itching me and so buying this product helped to reduce the itching significantly. No, you might be wondering how do I use this product so as mentioned on the product, you can use a product in the morning and you can use it in the evening. So what I did, I use it twice per day. So in the morning when I'm going out of spirit on my scalp and then in the afternoon, when I come home and got my shower, then I would spray it on my scalp area again now what I love about this particular product. No. This was my first time using this product, as I mentioned earlier, I went out and purchased it to use on my scalp area. Now it is called Jamaican mango and lime and it is methylated. So it's quite minty when you put it on the scalp and I don't know if you like, when your skin feel minty, but I do if you hear my voice, don't crack it because I'm getting over a flu I recently had so my voice may not sound As it usually sounds, but hey it happened, but I'm feeling quite well now. So, let's get on so it says no more itchy gross prey and it says that it helps to soothe itchy and dry scalp. It'S non-greasy. I can say that it is that's what it says on the bottle and I can attest to that that it is actually non-greasy and it helps prevent. Breakage is great for locks twists and braids. So if you have natural hair - and you have a hearing twist or anything like that - you can also use this product on your hair, so I really enjoyed using it with my braid and I'm still using it of course. So it's a nice product and to see I use it for the entire week in the second week and then, of course, on the weekend, which is the second week. I went in and shampooed my hair and I use the same shampoo from this brand and I'll definitely be sharing my shampoo routine with you. So you'll definitely get that in another video. Now perhaps you're wondering how I care for my hair at night. So what I do I put on a bonnet yes, and let me show the Bonnet that I use is this one. It can be on the yellow side or it can be on the black side, so you can be worn on both sides. So this is a bonnet that I use at night, and this is how I use it. So what I do I dot tilt my hair at the front, or I should say I put all my hair at the back. Rather so I carry all the hair at the back, get it into a nice little bun then carry it up like this to the front and just hold it like that with my hands, and then I get my bonnet and then I just take my end and Just try to get those at the back. First, keep my hand on my hair and then I release and let go and then everything will be hanging in the Bonnet and then so. I go to sleep at night and, of course, my body stays on and then in the morning, when I wake up like I wake up, I take it off once I've finished getting ready and I just fix my hair. However, I like to fix it and that's it and I'm off so, as you can see, we keep it in simple. The aim of braiding my hair is to form a protective hairstyle to prevent me from combing my hair, and also to give my hair a break from the combing and the manipulation, and all of that, so I'm definitely keeping it simple. So, as you recognize, I do not add any oils to my scalp. So apart from the day when I braided my hair, I would have added oils and all of that to my scalp. But since that time I have not had any more oils. So during that week, as I showed you earlier, I only use just this product on my hair and that's it so no more oils in my hair and then of course, on the weekend, as I was mentioned earlier, definitely going to be shampooing, my hair. So this routine is quite simple. It may not be what you imagined it to be, but I like to keep it simple. I don't like to give myself additional work. If I'm going to do a protective hairstyle, it has to be something that is going to make my life a lot simpler, and I tell you there is no better feeling wake up in the morning and don't have to think about what am I going to do With my hair, because it is already groomed, it's already comb, so all I need to do is to take off my Bonnet shade down my hair and just put it on whatever Style I want, and I am off so this protective hairstyle is definitely serving its purpose Of course, I want to see what my hair looks like once I remove the braids and of course I know that you guys want to see that too. So I'm looking forward to my take down, so let me know in the comment section if you would like me to share a video of oh, I take out my braids and, of course, definitely I'll be doing a deep conditioning treatment on my hair. So let me know in the comment section if you would like to see that video and, of course, we'll make it happen. Thank you, foreign
