Nonye,
I've been wearing my hair natural for a year and a half. It's just a short 'fro but I'd like to try braids, again. How long should my hair be before it can be braided? Is there a way to braid hair without using extensions? Are there any special products (shampoos, pomades, etc.) I should use on my hair until it is the right length for braiding? Finally, when is the next natural hair care seminar? Thanks for your help!
Searching For Me
Your hair should be at least 3" long in order to be braided, and can be braided/cornrowed without extensions, but they do not last as long as when it braided with extensions.
Herbal shampoo, rinse and conditioning treatment should be used on your hair as it promotes growth and nurtures the hair and scalp.
I will keep you posted on the date of the next seminar.
can i do the tree braid on natural hair....i have been natural for the past five years thanks
Yes, you can do the tree braid on natural hair. I have natural hair too and I have done the braids on myself a couple of times. I have also done tree braids on a lot of my clients that have natural hair.
In fact I have a lot of clients who have natural hair and wear tree braids all the time. See exemplary pictures on my website under tree braids gallery (i.e. Tree Braids with wavy hair)
I am interested in the tree braids. How do you care for them while they are in your hair? Do wash them every week and do you need a special shampoo and can you condition the hair. Also what type of hair would you recommend to purchase (human/syn)? How long can I keep the braids in? How do you take them out when you are ready?
To care for your tree braids, tie up your hair at night, and use a braid sheen to keep your scalp from drying.
You should shampoo them every 2 weeks and you can use your regular shampoo and conditioner.
The human hair is preferable for this hairstyle since it stays in a long time.
If properly cared for and depending on how fast you hair grows, they stay up for up to 2months. Tree braids are taken down like cornrows.
