For those of you who braid your own hair, could you please let me know how you learned and give me tips on how I can braid my own hair? I feel that this is healthier and safer than going to some outfit where they just want to braid your hair as quickly as possible. My goal in coming to this board is learning how to take care of my hair as much as possible. While I would never relax my own hair I think I could handle braiding. Also, any tips for how to braid fragile type 4b relaxed hair without damaging it would be appreciated. any tips on how to make the hair braiding look very professional would also be appreciated. I am interested in doing the Susan Taylor type braids because I think that they would allow me to use own hair the most and would be healthiest or learning how to do tree braids that are bigger than a pencil. But I dont want it to come out looking crooked or raggedy.
