Okay, so some of you may remember my encounter a couple of weeks ago with a Dominican stylist. Here is the thread:

So she kept telling me that I was sitting under the dryer for too long and she ominously warned me that my hair would fall out. She even did a little dance as a little piece of my hair fell out during the blow out. Well my attitude at the time was, I have done this before with no problems, I think I will be fine. Some of you ladies even warned me that I should take more care and take it more seriously.
I have to come here and say that yall were right because, ever since that wench cursed me, my hair has been falling out and shedding like crazy!!! I feel like Mister from The Color Purple. Maybe I need to start going around doing good deeds for people or something or go back to the shop and give her a peace offering. At first I was thinking well maybe she didnt moisterize it for long enough, but I have been trying to add moisure by deep conditioning, hot oil treatments, etc. My hair still felt like a haystack.
Finally this weekend just as I was about to do a bad thing with a pair of scissors, I decided that it was time to become a braided beauty again. I bought some hair and went to the shop and the braids came out lovely. I used a mixed pack of hair, so it looks like I have the highlights that I have been so afraid to get. And as an added bonus, for the time being I wont have to look at my hair and fight with it to stay moist. I have had great success with growing my hair out with braids in the past. Right now I am seriously considering joining that Braid challenge and keeping braids in my hair for the next year. I have no doubt that I would be able to reach mid back or beyond by the end of that timeframe.
Just thought that I would give that update. Also wanted to ask, if any of you ladies who have had braids have any tips for keeping them moist especially considering the difficulty that I have been having? I have never deep conditioned my braids before but now I am thinking about trying it out. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
