Any Tips On Maintaining Pick And Drop Braiding?!?!?

Hi girls!
Just discovered this site, its fantastic!
I was wondering how to maintain pick and drop, I usually use Milky Way (2packs costing £50) and I find it loses its silkiness after a week.
The regrowth is also an issue as the braids themselves start to look messy after a couple of weeks.
I was also advised against washing it as the braids will fall out so I find myself paying £50 for hair and £50 for labour for just one month.
It'll be nice to hear your opinions.

@ Nezed, amazingly, my front hair is in place, I've been doing pick and drop for about a year now, I've probably done in about 8 times, what cuts my front hair is weave-on, the weight of the weave on my hair thins it, I guesshuman hair is lighter for pick and drop

What hairstyles do you do, I'm stuck in a rut, any ideas will do!
 

hair style??

what a name??

Pick and drop stays too long.

Lol!. Which one na take a bow?
Its called pick and drop cuz they literally pick it, weave a tiny little pit and drop it!
Do you mean it takes too long to do? I sat down for 8 hours to do the last one, lets just say im still rubbing my arse!

Bruv, i over-head my sister talking about kinki this, kinki that the other day only to find out she was talking about her hair.

i was about to double-summer-slam her phone, the room door and the person on the other side of the phone.

no o, please ask your wife for me, maybe i'll do that next!
LOL!

i dont think pick and drop lasts.done it like twice and i ended up loosing some of my front hair which took me months to get back.though the style is very nice but u see that as ure brushing it,d attachment is breaking.wts in vogue now is indian curl,its a weaveon,d curly type.dey braid de front part and fix de rest.its so luvly.

I havent heard of that one yet, i'll ask my hairdresser about it, thanks!

Nah, that's not it, i'll try to find a pic online and post it later.

@poster,apply methylated spirit and any hair treatment oil it sure works.

There is nothing to maintain. Once they get old; take it out! I loathe seeing women with way over due braids. Bugs the hell outta me!
