Any tips for my hair??

[DisOui33]

first of all, I would like to say hello to everyone. I'm a new on here and I stumbled across this page by accident, but i'm sooo very glad i did. Now, I need help with my hair. I just had micro braids and when i took them out, I had a ton of breakage and thinning around my edges. This made me really sad because I've never had anything like that happen to my hair before. It always seemed so strong and thick

. Anyway, sorry for babbling

, but if anyone can help, i'd really appreciate it!

Welcome DisOui33!
From my experience with braids & breakage what helped me was a good protein conditioner (like Aphogee shampoo/reconstructor/conditioner) also, what help my edges was Vigorol styling gel.

You will learn a lot from the ladies on this site.

Again, welcome

Welcome

Whew! I know how you feel, girl. I will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER get micro braids again. My edges still haven't grown back to its normal state

If you plan on getting braids again, go with something slightly bigger and make sure the stylist doesn't braid too tight around the edges. For your edges just keep your scalp clean and away from too many products which can cause build up and your scalp won't be able to breathe. I use to use Ampro Protein Styling Gel and that stuff clogged my scalp something serious. Right now I'm keeping tension (pulling, excess brushing, etc) off of my edges and I'm using Rosemary Essential Oil for scalp messages to stimulate growth. Make sure to condition your edges, too so they won't break anymore. HTH (hope this helps) and good luck!
