biggest tip- try to get the front rebraided every few weeks. I think letting the hiar get further from the scalp contribtes to hair loss around the edges.
Keep your real hair as moisturized as possible. I mix 1/3 infusium 1/3 bottled water and 1/3 braid spray and usually focus on where my real hair is.
ButI will be hanging around this thread so I can avoid any disasters, I can definately use more tips.
