How do you prepare your natural hair for braiding, do you have to blow dry?
<font color="red">I usually flatiron my hair before braiding or interlocking if someone else is going to do it for me. It hurts too much to leave it natural. I did blowdry it once or twice but if I'm doing it myself I just leave my hair natural and braid it like that.</font>

What is the brand name of the hair you used for the colored individual braids, does it get tangled with your natural hair?
<font color="red">The hair in that pic is called Golden Queen. They discontinued it..figures

But, I use Auntie Lizzy hair now and that's just as good if not better. </font>

Also is it easy to take out the interlocked braids.
<font color="red">The interlock braids are easy to take out but, I usually left those in for 8 weeks or so. It's my first time doing this wavy interlock hair so I'm not sure how taking it out is going to be. Plus it's been in going on 12 weeks. I hope it's easy. I just have to be very patient. </font>

I ware my hair natural too and I was also wondering how did you learn how to braid so well, was it practice? <font color="red">I learned to braid my hair about 5 and a half years ago when I was in a town with hardly any black people and the ones that were there wanted to charge 200.00 minimum to braid my hair...I wasn't having it. So, I learned how by using wavy hair so when it's messy or doesn't turn out perfect the waviness of the hair covers up the mistakes or really bad parts I made.</font>

I hope I have been of some help. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

thanks for getting back with me so quickly! I just recently (November 16th) broke down and put some extention braids in my own hair-but honey let me tell you the hair was HARD to take out because it was tangled with my own natural texture. I only had it in for about a week. It looked good and everything, but goodness! I think the mistake I made was that I used some curly (human I think) hair off of a weft (SP)it was not supposed to be used for braiding (i guess). Well the hair just blended in a little TOO well with my own head, people thought it was mine and it almost was cause it was lookin like curly locs

, which is cute but not nice to take down. Not only that but I put the braids in rather loose, because I really did not know what I was doing (so some came out during the wash) I need some step by step individual braiding instructions-I almost refuse to buy a braiding video for something that can't be all that hard ya know. Besides with the money that I would spend on the video I could be buyin my some hurr for braiding, lol.
 
Question-human hair is too expensive for me.Is it true that synthetic hair cuts the strands and damages them,or is this just another rumor?
