braids actually help my edges grow in? Most people say that braids do the opposite, and lead to them having traction alopecia, however for me, I find that when I get braids, it allows for edges to fill in. I think it's because when they're braided up, they're protected so they're not susceptible to manipulation.
I've been having some issues with my edges breaking off, mostly because of some color I had last year as well as heat, so I've stayed away from both to baby them. I've been using a couple of different products to help them grow back, which has helped. Now they're long enough to catch for braids (before it broke down so short it couldn't even be braided), and I'm thinking about getting braids next month. I do know that it is true, if your braids are too tight, or if the braiding hair is too heavy, it can lead to traction alopecia, however most of the damage on my edges comes from chemicals and heat styling. Is this the case for anyone else?
In case you were wondering, below are the products I've been using to help my edges grow back:
Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Minoval Extra Strength
Phytospecific Phytotraxil
Profectiv Growth Renew Root Recovery Temple Moisturant
