We spray them every morning with our waterd down Taliah Waajid spray just like we do with any style that V has. I have been learning to be more relaxed about her getting her hair wet and these braids are the perfect style for that! Whenever she showers (couple times a week) she just rinses under the running water. No washing, no scrubbing, just lets the water run through her hair. She wears her sleep cap at night as usual. That's it!Katie and Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599913531766586871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487983111720513109.post-75923072024721979792011-06-23T03:39:42.770-07:002011-06-23T03:39:42.770-07:00Thanks for posting about this style!

We have also been tossing around the idea of starting locs. So this was a great style for us to try. She loves her braids! I was wondering if you will be posting at all about how you care for the braids while they are in?

This style is very gentle on the hair because the small individual boxes are keeping you from putting to much strain on the hair. V's braids first braids were in for over 4 weeks and the next set will be in for up to 6. I may even consider doing more braids after that because she will be in the middle of swim lessons and they make swimming and washing so easy!Katie and Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599913531766586871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487983111720513109.post-23591710181787174652011-06-20T20:39:48.439-07:002011-06-20T20:39:48.439-07:00I have my 8 year old daughter in this style.

I would love to "recycle" some of the boxes and parts when it needs to be refreshed. How long do think parts can be left in?Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277014270138792441noreply@blogger.com
