Hi, ladies.
I just recently installed some really small braid extensions and was wondering how long everyone kept their braids in. I got Senegalese twists while I was transitioning and kept them in for 3 months without dreading or matting badly, but was wondering if now that I'm fully natural and these braids are much smaller that I shouldn't leave them in that long. I was thinking of taking them down after finals, which would be 9 weeks from when I finished (technically 10 weeks for some of the braids, since it took me a week to put them in).
Is that too long? I'd be devastated if my hair ended up dreading or something and I'd have to start all over. What do you ladies think of 9/10 weeks?
TIA!
