If other, what?
What was your starting length and your length now using these protective style methods?
What was your hair regimen when wearing these protective styles?
RelaxerRehab said:It makes sense to me to do braids in the warmer months (depending on the type of braids, your scalp is more exposed and can therefore, stay cooler) and then weaves in the cooler months (to protect the head from the cold).

both..i used braids to transition and wigs/weaves and braids to retain my natural hair growth.
co-sign... Braids only!
Weaves don't work for me. I spent $400 on one and it messed up my edges and everything else. It was cute but... Never again!
