^^I guess I really didn't look at the picture. They are way too large to be micros.

Can you do a close up picture of just your scalp and a few inches of your hair?

I'm not a braid expert, so I'm not going to say what they are. There are people who know much more about braids then I do. The picture is a little hard to see.

I attached a better shot.

These are what I thick of as micros...

They look more like small individuals, which is better for you...should be less stress on your natural hair.

faithVA · Feb 12, 2013

Sorry everyone for taking this thread OT. I didn't realize this was a sticky. :nono:

Yeah...they aren't micros. They may be small to you but in reality they are pretty big and way too big to be called micros. Two girls in 6 hours means they put way too much hair on each individual braid or they are very slow. My girl takes 8 hours to do my head alone and much smaller.

Okay, it's been a week and my braids still really hurt. and I checked the back and there are like these tiny bumps around a few of my braids, which I read somewhere is a sign that they're doing damage. I paid $200 for my braids so I reeeeally don't want to take them out, but what do i do about the pain? I'm starting to wonder if my hair was too short (1" all around) to braid.

It's just the 5 in the back and a few up top that hurt. Everything else is fine.

Have you tried washing them as water helps to ease my hair when I used to get braids. Optimally I would take out the ones that hurt. Since they're in the back it won't be that noticeable and you can just twist or coil the strands to get them to keep from knotting up. I would redo the ones at top as bumps signify it's way to tight and can damage the hair follicle which is never a good thing.

Here's my current set of havana twists...I've had them in for about 3 weeks now, hoping to keep them up until the end of march. Not sure how much patience I will have for having my hair up and out of reach for so long, but I'm determined to keep PS'ing until my hair is long enough to bun. Currently past SL shooting for APL :yep:

Yeah, I did a good water run through all over my braids. It helped tremendously. I also think my hair grew a bit. Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, my braids are a lot fuzzier at the base.

oh my gosh, i love this style!

CocoElizabeth · Mar 6, 2013

Don't worry. I wore braids for 4 years after a big chop and grew my hair to waist length.

Just make sure to take care of your scalp. Don't let them pull your braids too tight and once you get some hang time I'd opt for larger braids.

favorite protective styles (two flat twists, pinned up on the sides).

I DO NOT know why flat twists are intimidating to me. I haven't even TRIED 'em. You know what, I guess I need to go to You Tube and just get it together. They are so neat and cute.

Small twists with braided roots, rolled and tucked.

WarriorGurl23 · Mar 20, 2013

My first post!

heeyyy so This is just my protective bun. I wanted to do something more fancy for the week, but my hair took forever to air dry in braids so I did a last minute bun before class.

Ladies, I've returned to my first love of crochet braids. It's been fun playing with my own hair, but now it's time to hide it away.
