braiding hair

happylady · 06-27-2006, 03:02 PM

anybody got a brand recommendation for wavy braids? usually i use human hair so my own doesn't get damaged, but i need these to last for a long time with washing. need: synthetic, not too expensive, and won't damage my hair too much.....

hmmm i usually don't wash my braids, i clean it with alchohol and then use braid spray, that helps to keep my braids looking good longer. maybe you should try that instead of washing weekly or bi-weekly.

I used to use Yaki Pony but I always washed my hair so the thing no dey last before e scatter. Why don't you ask your hair braider? She can give you options.

i scratched the braid idea since these braiders don lost they minds. i need something low maintenance. thinking about getting a weave,but they seem expensive and i never had one before in my life. how much do they cost? are there different kinds? how long do they last? can you wash it like real hair? can you sweat in it or go swimming? HELP!!!
