Yeah, we're all curious about something we don't really know about. People think that braided hair can't be washed, and that is completely untrue - that's actually unhygienic. Braids are meant to be washed, but some people are uneducated and misinformed. I've done braids, gotten them and I always wash them. I have to admit, it's not like washing my own hair when I scrub wildly, because I have to take caution when I have braids and wash it like it's silk - very carefully and slowly. Then I rinse, and put a good leave-in (like Infusium) and I'm done.

If hair is braided or corn-rowed, it gets washed between braidings when the braids grow out and start to look messy. African hair does not produce nearly as much oil as do caucasians, so oil is added to the hair.
