should i wait before getting braids done?? my stylist said i should not do them right after a relaxer because that is when my hair is the weakest and doesn't need that kind of tension. my thinking was that they would look fresher for longer if i did them right after....whats the soonest you have gotten braids after a relaxer??

I wait at least 4 weeks so that they have some new growth to grab when they braid it. I think they would slip out right after a relaxer, and your hair is weakest.
thank you ladies....it has been 4 weeks since my relaxer, so I think I will get them done this weekend. I was trying to wait to do another aphogee 2 step before I got them, but that is not due for another 2 weeks. If I wait that long, I will want to relax again.....what a vicious cycle!!

4 weeks should be fine. You could do a light/med protein a week before you get them, if you feel you need it.
Oh and welcome!
