Missed blogging but the past week was a bit hected for me but I did get in my beach time since Saturday was like the only nice day of the week here in Jersey UGGHHHH SUMMER WHERE ARE YOU!!!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend
So my box braids has been holding up so good since I got them done and dammit I LOVE my braids!! One downfall is these thangs itch my hair like crazy! I have really dry scalp to begin with so dealing with synthetic hair and dry, itchy, sensitive scalp is a bit of a challenge.
So since my hair is in a protective state I will still care for it like I have my fro out, by doing my weekly washes just to make sure I keep my scalp clean and moisturized to avoid dry and flaky scalp issues.
So this is what I will be using over the next few weeks to ensure my scalp remains clean and less itchy:
Put 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with warm water in a spray bottle
Spray MY SCALP ONLY with the mixture and massage the mixture into my scalp
I let the apple cider sit my hair for about 15 minutes then wash it out with my Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner
I dry my roots and the top of the braids with a cotton t-shirt...it's safer for your hair to use a cotton t-shirt or air dry
I use a regular towel to dry my ends because your braids will hold an excessive amount of water so a regular towel will help with getting the excessive amount of water out of your hair
Next I use moose in order to control the fly aways from the braids because there will be some fly aways and you can use spritz as well to hold down the fly aways
Annndddd there you have it, the end results of my first wash...looks fresh and feels clean and LESS ITCHY!!
Of course you can add oils to your scalp and hair to seal in moisture..I added my usual mixture Jojoba Oil, Jamaican Castro Oil, Peppermint Oil and EVOO
Love and Light!!!!
