    I got these braids for the first time last month and I’m in love with mine. To cleanse my scalp I simply spritz with ACV and water once a week. I only lay my edges with edge control when going out. Wear a bonnet to sleep and that’s it. When they get a bit more frizzy I’ll move over to using mousse and a scarf.

      Knotless is more work for braiders (not every braider can do them well). Maybe that’s why she talked you out of them?

    As someone who did my first EVER set of DIY knotless box braids on 12/30/21, I am both FLOORED and ENAMORED with the versatility of these braids! I have 12 braids and I just removed the wooden beads and knotted a piece of weaving thread around the base of my ponytail. I spun it around and tied a knot to create an ouchless scrunchie LOL to create a ponytail!!! SPECTACULAR to say the Least!!! Can't wait for the redo!!!

    I LOVE knotless box braids! This post may get lengthy. I normally don't do much to my hair aside from oiling my scalp during the first two weeks of having them installed. By the third week, I'm using witch hazel on a wash cloth to "clean" my scalp. A few days later I'll wash them with diluted shampoo and conditioner. Rinse throughly & apply mousse and wrap my scarf until dry. This helps me maintain my braids until I take them out at 10 or 12 weeks.

    I did some knotless box braids about 5 days ago, and it looks like I had them in for 3 to 4 weeks. 😩 I wasn't educated on what braid gel to use. I used weak ass jam extra hold, and on the 5th day, my hair was fluffy at the roots. I tried Red One to retouch my braids, and it was ok, but I didn't have that perm shine that I was looking for . Smells, great like strawberry koolaid. It holds the edges down, but the hold only last for maybe 2hrs. 😔 I bought Murray's extreme hold, and it was ok, but it makes my hair look ashy, and my hair color is sandy brown. I finally gave in and bought Lock N gel for locks, waves, and braids. 🤞 This is my last resort. I hope this works because I'm not spending another dime on braid gels.

    Water is everything!

Dry shampoo isn’t even hoe 🛀🏿 level yet to me but it does cut the oil like powder does to makeup foundation after a few hours and as we all know, the make up is still there.
