Seek an experienced, professional braider for consultation.
2.
If you have brittle hair, stay away from mini micro braids.
3.
If you have a delicate scalp, be careful when twisting and
turning the braids into different styles.
4.
To maintain healthy hair, do not leave braids in for more than
2 ½ months as it may dread or lock up on you, causing severe breakage
or thinning.
5.
Let your braider be aware not to braid to tightly.
6.
Heavy and thick pomades, shampoos and conditioners tend to get
trapped in the braids, which cause flaky scalp.
7.
Create a braided style that your own hair strands can carry
without weighing your hair down. Such tension can cause breakage.
8.
Use very light oil for your scalp.
9.
Choose a good quality synthetic fiber for braiding.
If you select human hair ensure the curls are not too tight or you run
the risk of locking.
10.
Cornrows can be one of the healthiest of all braided styles since the
hair lies down to rest without any tension caused by swinging.
