Hey beauties! I just got my first braids ever-- 14 long hours! I am in love, but I was just wondering the normal routine for washing my scalp? I usually washed it every 3 days, and I can feel my scalp itching like crazy! Thanks guys:) xoxo.

Washing your braids will make them look older quicker so I suggest you wash when you really need to. The itching is normal just go to your local beauty supply store. They have sprays just for box braids that help stop the Itching. Lol also sleep the a bonnet so your hair last Longer mama. Your beautiful btw ☺💕

Thanks ladies!! I did not, just because my hair was not dry and tends to get oily a lot at the roots. I think it was just a lot of product build up because of the product I usually use on my naturally curly hair (Sheamoisture products) and the jam they used to seal the braids.

I washed my scalp last night and I feel a lot better!
