All Braided up Regimen

So I have installed some box braids and although this is a protective style with extension, I still must take care of my hair and scalp, maybe even more so.  So this is my planned regimen and "products". 

P.S.  I was so tempted to just go to my local BSS and get some braid spray or curl activator.  Those are the only products I have EVER used on braids with extension, lol!


Daily Moisturizing Spray every 1-2 days (P.S.  I make only enough per moisturizing session because I use tap water and use no preservatives)

• 4 oz water
• 2 tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
• 1 tsp Veggie Glycerin
• 2 tbsp Debating to add a little conditioner???

Scalp Oil- 1-2x/week

• Infused Jojoba Oil
• Hibiscus flower
• Nettle
• Rosemary Essential Oil
• Lavender Essential Oil

Ayurvedic Butter every 2-3days

• Seal in Moisture

Clay Wash & ACV Rinse every 1-2 weeks

• Focus on scalp to prevent dirt balls (I don't know what else to call them,lol) from forming and ripping out my hair
•  Going to make clay wash very fluid for rinsing.

So my regimen isn't really different except I will be oiling my scalp and there will be no daily manipulation.

How do you do to maintain your Braids?
