Whether you are keeping this style for 2 weeks as a filler-style or for 4-6 weeks as a long-term protective style, it is important to continue to care for your natural hair and your crochet hair. Here is what I do to care for my hair when I wear crochet braids:

Cleanse My Natural Hair

When I feel my scalp getting itchy or I see flakes on my scalp, I bring out my Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse!

I separate my crochet braids into 4 buns, so I can easily reach my scalp and my braids. I either spray or use an applicator bottle to ease this mixture and massage for about 5 minutes, to loosen up the product buildup or flakes. Then I wipe my scalp with a warm wash cloth.

I do not rinse my hair with water...I do not want to drench my braiding foundation. My hair smells like a pickled salad for only 30 minutes.

I do not waste my time cleansing my crochet braids.

Moisture/Seal

This step is the simplest! Once my scalp and hair are clean, I add light mist and light oil to my natural hair and scalp. Then I lightly massage my scalp for a few minutes. This leaves my scalp feeling very good!

The great thing about this regimen is that I don't use a lot of product on my braiding foundation, other using a light mist and an oil. So a full wash and rinse regimen is not necessary for full cleansing.

Natural hair says: The best way to find the hair for you is to continue to try different kinds of brands and products. Do your research and try them for yourself.
