hey everybody. recently, an over active thryroid caused my hair to fall out by the handfull for about 3 months. i've seen a doctor so everything's under control but i am determined to be in braids for the next year and not relax it (i only started re-relaxing in may after about 8 years being natural) for a year.
do any of you knowledgeable ladies have any tips for me while i'm on my braid quest? is this it healthy for my hair to just wear braids for a year? how long should i keep them in at a time? what about care and maintainence while they're in (like washing, conditoning, trimmings, protiene, and moisture)?
i won't be living in the states again until july 2007 so i won't start any bsl goals or any other challenges like that yet; i just want the middle of my hair back!
thanks for your help.
