I was supposed to keep the braids in for 4 weeks. I only lasted 2 1/2. I missed my hair y'all. How to take out small braids: Be careful and stop to detangle with fingers when necessary. When it seems too difficult to take out a small braid, use a bobby pin or the tail of a rat tail comb. After all the braids are out, separate clumps of hair (these are the defined crinkles/definition from the braid) with your hand. Once crinkles are separated, generously add water based moisturizer placing hair in at least 4 sections. If washing, add conditioner and place a shower cap on for a few hours.
