Question for the long haired ladies. I know every so often you're asked the general question: "How did you reach your current length?", but I'd like to know, specifically, how you styled your hair before you reached long lengths. What did you do with your hair at neck length, shoulder length...

I am loving these knotless box braids. The look is much more natural without the knot and the braids seem to be much more fluid than the knotted ones. Years ago these were pretty popular, but I'm having trouble finding a braider in my area that offers them. This braider is in NY - I'm...

Hey ladies, I'm planning to try the rubberband method for some jumbo box braids as a protective style in the winter & I'd really appreciate some tips or recommendations. (I will be 4 months into transitioning if anyone also has tips regarding braiding for that) I have a few questions for both...

So this journey/challenge has been pretty easy. Its been 3 months and I still only shampoo and deep condition every 2-3 weeks with no problems... My biggest shocker is my postpartum edges are starting to grow back without me even starting the "grow edges back challenge" that i was going to do...

Well its been going pretty easy so far.. Still havent decided when im taking this protective style but im excited to start on something new after its over...

Hi Ladies, I'm having braids installed on Sunday (individual box braids with human hair). What preparation do you all do prior to installation?

So Im almost finish with this 4 month longterm protective style (crochet faux loc).. Ive been using a new growth combo that consists of wild growth oil and virgin hair fertilizer which seems to be doing very well...I still have a month to go before I take down, but as you can see in the video...

Cant wait until this 4 month protective style is over to see the full results :)

Has anyone bought braiding hair from Aliexpress? I'm after the umbre braiding hair like : And specifically this color And it seems like the best selection and cheapest place to get them is from Aliexpress but I've never ordered direct from China before so I'm apprehensive. I know that...

I have not been on here in a long time..I believe the last time I posted was during my pregnancy. I just wanted to show those who are longterm protective styling my progress from a few different styles I did. This first one was 4 months long wearing box braids! This was the results for that...

Soo I recently started wearing wigs and asked my mom to braid my hair. She gave me 5 fat braids that lasted barely two weeks before they started looking rough and matted. I took them down yesterday and I texted her (we don't live together my grandma adopted me but she's always been in my life)...

Hello Ladies, The hair serum, created by Dr. Jane Cases is amazing! It was featured in the 57th annual Grammy and 13th annual Oscars swag bags. I accidently became a test dummy when I had my hair braided this year. I got braids in May 2015 for the summer. I had them less than two weeks because...

which would you get? which are faster? which have the most long term staying power? i want twists because i want them really long and feel like they wont be as heavy or take as long to put in but i want braids because i'm thinking it will protect the hair better and be easier to take down
