Welcome to Friday Angels! I hope everyone is staying safe and wearing your mask when out. I'm back with crochet braids!! Since last week, I was celebrating my birthday and I wanted something that was easy and low maintenance. It has been so hot here in Virginia and honey these wigs were not cutting it. I was so close to having them riding in the passenger seat with me.
This week I'm going into detail on how I maintain my crochets to keep them looking fresh. I went back to the Afri-Naptural Beach curl, which I did add the color 1b/30 on the bottom and 27 in the top. I also didn't put any product on it. I added only water from the shower. I detangle at night then go in with scissors to cut out all the knots. I finger comb and pull the parts that clump together.
Once I finish going through my entire head, I pull it all up to the top of my head into a pineapple then put it in a bun. Then I took my spray bottle with conditioner and water and clean my edges then I applied oils then wrapped my edges up.
When I let my hair down in the morning it looks amazing. I shake it, then I go. This week I will start putting mousse on it to battle some of the frizz. I will say that some of that is my fault I went two nights just falling asleep and not taking care of it. That's why this will always be my go to it just goes right into looking natural.
I will also show you before I take it out how I wash it. Yes, you can wash your crochet and it will not harm your install so I will make sure to add a clip when I wash it.
Below I will add pictures of the process...
