How do I take care of the hair braided underneath the weave?

I'm getting weave done for the second time, and the first time I got one, I was able to keep the weave nice, but when I took it out and took my braids out my hair was very matted. Please help!!!!


Please only answer if you have actual advice, don't answer just to get more points.How do I take care of the hair braided underneath the weave?
The hair that is braided is going to get matted regardless if you leave them in too long. And because you're not manipulating or detangling your hair, you should expect some matting.


You can take steps to keep the hair strong and conditioned under the weave.





When you wash the hair try not to rub too hard and make sure you dry the braids completely because they will swell and get bacteria prone.





Use a light oil on your scalp and try to get one with an applicator tip. I like Doo Gro growth oils, Organic Root Stimulator Dry Scalp Relief or anti-itch scalp oil. If your hair is chemical free you can use organic root stimulator shea butter. It will keep your hair and scalp soft while braided. You have to gently massage the oil into your scalp so you don't loosen the braids.





Try not to rub your scalp with scalp with hair grease or anything like that because it will cause your braids to loosen which will lead to more matting.





Use a wig brush, one with coated bristles. Brush the weave away from your scalp so you're not catching the braids. This will keep the brush from pulling your hair out of the braids and it will keep your braids neater.How do I take care of the hair braided underneath the weave?
I've had a weave done and also the extensions where they fuse them to little individual bunches of your hair with keratin. Either way you end up with knots because your hair is growing over time underneath the braid and it's hard to comb the part between your scalp and the weave part. And with the individual bunches fused with keratin it was the same problem. I used a conditioner for my skalp to make the knots more difficult to form.
As long as your hair is sewn in tight and correctly, then you should be able to wash and condition as needed. And be sure that the shampoo %26amp; conditioner gets to the braids and roots so that you can take care of your natural hair as well as the false hair. Hope this helps!

You should condition your hair really well when you wash it. Even the braids underneath. Then apply a leave in conditioner on your braids and some oil sheen from time to time.
