Good Morning Everyone!!!
For years I had worn braids and never had a problem with hair thinning around the edges until 4 years ago when I let Africans put them in for the first time. I only had them in for a couple of months, but experienced thinning and balding around the edges and hair breakage. They were microbraids.
I would like to get braids again at some point but am so afraid of getting the same results. I won't go back to an African hairbraider. My little cousin (17 years old) is the bomb at braiding hair so I'm going to let her put them in for me. However, before I do that I wanted to get some advice from those who have braids what helped you with retaining your growth and length?
Thanks in advance for your help!
