Hey Cattypus1 - I have a tutorial on my YouTube page. It's basically pinning the hair to make a bun shape instead of using a filler. It's good for people who want that look, but don't have a donut or don't want to use one.

is there such a thing as a bad protective style?

I just big chop'ed and found African braiders who could do micros on about 1" of hair. So naturally I went for it because I want a little poof by March and April.

However, I read on some sites that micros on too short of hair can cause breakage. This is causing me serious worry. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Not only could you incur breakage you could suffer hair loss. Imagine how tight they have to pull your hair to have those extensions stay. And micros can be every bad on your edges.

Before you get extensions anywhere talk to people who have had their hair done there and see what their hair and scalp looks like.

Spend a month reading through this board before you do anything to your hair. It will save you months and months of misery in the end.

Braids done well are wonderful. But improperly installed braids will lead to baldness and other issues.

Now I'm terrified. I already have micros!!!

This was my hair this past week. I had about an 1" stretched out.

This is my hair with micros, since last Sunday.

My hair may actually break????

Don't panic. You already have them. I am assuming they feel fine.

But you do need to educate yourself on braids and your hair. There are threads on taking care of your hair while in braids, proper take down, etc.

No one can say what your hair will experience. Others can just share their experiences and what they learned. Learn from them so you don't have to have their experiences. Just use LHCF as a good resource to learn as much as you can early on.

Are these micros? They look like Sengalease twists to me?

 

[faithVA]

^^I guess I really didn't look at the picture. They are way too large to be micros.

 

[naija24]

jprayze, Yes, they are micros. They're pretty thin. It took me 6 hours to get done between two ladies.

faithVA, the back of my head feels fine now. It's the crown and some of the sides taht are still pretty tender for me. I am sure they'll go down by the end of the week. I haven't had braids in 3 years and I haven't had micros ever.
