After care:

• Make sure you cover your hair with a silk bonnet when going to bed and taking a shower.

• You may wash your braids but be mindful of your texture and know that frizz can happen at the root. After washing put mousse on hair and tie down with a silk scarf and let dry completely.

• Do not over oil your hair but make sure to give hair enough hydration.

• I recommend keeping a protective style in for 3-4 weeks but its up to you on how long you prefer to keep your style in.
