Thanx everyone. I do feel good that I do not have to rely on anyone else fo rmy styles. It does feel good to know that you can do it yourself.
I use Beverly Johnson synthetic hair. Next time I think I will use BJ synthetic hair that looks and feels like human hair. I have alot of hair and used four bags of this hair so I think that if I use human hair that will be too expensive. I am also going to take out a braid on friday to see how my hair is doing. I plan on taking out a braid each week to see if my hair is ok. This was my main concern when I braided my hair. so far I have done two conditioner washes to keep my hair moist. i think as long as I do this my hair underneath will not get dry and brittle.
