How to be Successful with Braids....

So you want some Micro Braids and you are hesitant to get them because you are scared your hair will fall out.

Come on now, lets be realistic do you actually think micros braids can take your hair out? I can see it now...the braids getting mad and saying F' it, I'm outta here....and they fall out. LMAO! See it sounds crazy right? Well I dislike hearing people say that micros will take their hair out. YOU are the only one that can take your hair out or make it grow. You want long hair, well you can have it! First educate yourself and keep it simple.

*This is off topic but I always wondered why people go to a hair stylist and get mad at them because they are ripping through their hair with the comb. I know I am going to get stoned for saying this but WTH do you expect. A hair stylist is just that, a darn hair stylist. It's self- explanatory. Their job title tells its all. They are their to style hair. Ask them to see their job description. LOL...Why should they care about it. They are doing their job by "styling" ya hair.*

Okay now back to what I was saying. Ladies you have to listen to your hair. If you have braids and they are hanging by 2 strands of hair then take them out. It's too easy! You can either take all the braids out and get a style that compliments that section where you took the braids out.

Why do most people loose hair while in braids?
Well this is just my personal opinion but their mentality when they have braids is that they do not have to do anything to their hair. Some people go weeks without washing. Like my friend Jessie said, "It's follicle suicide!" Its crazy and the hair suffers.

The next thing is they pile all of the hair sheen, grease and gel on the roots and expect the scalp to breathe. Once again its crazy! It's a crime, lol!

Okay b4 this post become long and I loose focus (lol) I will say that there are alot of reasons that people loose hair when in braids. But it's not the braids, its the PERSON.

In conclusion since I fussing, I will say that the K.I.S.S regimen while in braids is:

1. Find you a light moisturizer (I prefer S-curl or Oyin Berries and Juices)
   
2. Find you a growth aid *optional* (I prefer Megatek)
   
3. Find you a sealer (I prefer coconut oil)
   
4. Find you a great protein conditioner and moisture conditioner
5. Find you a great deep conditioner
6. Invest in a silk head scarf
   

It's too easy, but remember just because it works for me does not mean that it will work for you. If something doesn't work for you just educate yourself as to why it doesn't work. Your hair is your glory. Don't think so, ask ya Granny...it's in the bible.

Okay Reverend Tiffie is out! LOL
