If I had read this before wearing extensions I would definitely have never tried braids.<br /><br />I went 28yrs scoffing at braids because I thought they were a waste of time and for lazy people. But since starting my HHJ and educating myself, I've worn them twice and each experience was pleasant. For the first installation, I did MAJOR research before I got them installed. <br /><br />Research is the best prevention. Now I'm a summer braids girl lol. Who would have ever thought!!MelZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627035930069228260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364019274575913806.post-53312644130017073192014-05-13T12:40:04.320-06:002014-05-13T12:40:04.320-06:00ooh, I had to learn the hard way to never put wate...ooh, I had to learn the hard way to never put water to hair that has not been thoroughly detangled.

I had a friend who had a similar experience to your friends so I combed out each one as I went along. My mom was helping me I had to beg her several times to comb them out each time too. She kept saying is is leaving it for me to comb out at the end. I said nope, that would leave me with no hair (lol lol). I then did steps 9&10 with minimum breakage.

I know she lost some hair but I lost a whole lot more in comparison. I have never, NEVER, NEVER gotten braids since that moment. I want to so badly but I'm too afraid now knowing what I do. I feel that I have the skill to detangle but the old war wound runs deep. Great tips you've provided. Mane n Tale is everything!!! Thanks for linking up.
