naija24;17888779[/USER]]is there such a thing as a bad protective style?
I just big chop'ed and found African braiders who could do micros on about 1" of hair. So naturally I went for it because I want a little poof by March and April.
However, I read on some sites that micros on too short of hair can cause breakage. This is causing me serious worry. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Not only could you incur breakage you could suffer hair loss. Imagine how tight they have to pull your hair to have those extensions stay. And micros can be every bad on your edges.
Before you get extensions anywhere talk to people who have had their hair done there and see what their hair and scalp looks like.
Spend a month reading through this board before you do anything to your hair. It will save you months and months of misery in the end.
Braids done well are wonderful. But improperly installed braids will lead to baldness and other issues.
