Afro Kinky Braids are very convenient as a protective style. The style has longevity and requires very little maintenance. The most that may be required to keep this style looking fresh, is an occasional application of a moisturizing spritz. This will soften and refresh your braids and leave it looking shiny. In under 5 minutes your braids will come to life and give the illusion that it is freshly done. See how I made my DIY spritz and refresh the braids in a jiffy. These braids were installed using the Crochet Braiding Technique by the way.
