Please be very very very careful with putting braids up into ponytails. If the ponytail is too tight it could pull your hair from the root.

My hairline was extremely damaged due to wearing tight high ponytails while wearing braids.

Be very gentle with your braids and be sure to moisturize and care for your hair as if you weren't in braids.

You may wanna be careful of pulling the braids up too high. I was a braid victim for far too long. I would get them braided too tight first off, then I wore them up high all the time, my nape and hairline suffered greatly. Ok fast forward a year later to now, I just took out some basic big cornrow braids (10 total) and I noticed the back was darn near loose enough to pull apart, but the front was still neat and the parts were still visible. Mind you, I only kept them in for 8 days but I think my back grows way faster then the front. Braids can definately show you that, what parts grow faster. HTH!!
