for those that do braids, do you shampoo your braids?

Yes ooo. . .synthetic and all. Sometimes carry my braid new braids to the beach

I am toying with the idea of chemically straightening my hair. 
Fed-up of using the tongs on a Sunday night and my hair looking like I have just put my finger in the electric socket by Wednesday.
Does anyone chemically straighten, if yes what products do you use, does it make your hair fall out and finally how long does last before you need to do it again.

slimfine:

@SISSY: YES if I use human hair. if not, the synthetic hair tangles and I really cannot handle that.

doesnt it smell? and doesnt it mess up your braids?

iice:

Mine doesn't smell with regards to washing it. One has to air it out properly.
As for messing up the braids, it does do that. However i think those who carry braids for only 2 weeks are not in danger of it messing up too quickly. Me, i dey carry my own reach 2 months and i like it better when it starts getting messier than when it's fresh.

madlady:

Do your braids start to unravel as the time goes on, or do you have them locked off?

When I do my Mother's they unravel as time goes by, she's like you, she likes it like that, she even brushes/combs them loose, to a point.

We are similar. Your mom and I. Before i take off my braids, i loosen it to about an inch and it's like this big mass of hair. Sometimes though, they don't unravel.

I can't sit for micro. I only do medium size to big braids. Too impatient to sit for hours.

We be twins? I have the same relationship with my hair. 
Million is the micro ones.  I don't remember the last time i had twists on.  Hmmmm i might do that, hopefully it doesn't unravel after a few weeks.

Please what type of relaxer can i use for my hair.I've got a very stubborn hair.There is this relaxer i used sometime ago and it changed my hair colour from black 2  brown with a very little shade of black.I've got a very embarassing itchy scalp,what should i do 2 reduce it?

What's senegalese braids like? With regards to twisting, some people's own last long. . .mine doesn't last as long plus i wash my hair with the extensions so that aids the unraveling process.  Hehehe i remember one time i wanted to do braids up to my chin. . kinda like a bob cut.  I chopped off my hair just to do it lol.  I like doing the bob one coz it's short so doesn't take so long.  Right now though, like you. . .my hair is longer than that, so i will have to do something else till i get tired and chop off the hair.[/color]

@Sissy,
LOL chai! you get liver oo i dont have enough liver or kidney to cut my hair just for a hairstyle. even though i sometimes have longer throat for all this sassy short hairstyles and  wish i could just cut my hair and have it but i havent grown enough liver for those sharp scissor! a friend has shorter hair and when she braids it, it takes less time and am like can we exchange hair after the braiding you have urs back

here is a pic of ST. if i find another style i might change my mind

Sissy, thanks alot! Is there a difference from regular twisting? Coz they look the same to my eye
Hehehe i have a habit of chopping off my hair. I remember in secondary school. One summer like that, the heat was killing me, told one of my friends to chop it off to like my jaw line. My best friend vex for me eh, she was crying why i cut the hair. When my mom came to visit me, i received some lectures which blah blah. . .didn't faze me.

Seems your hair grows fast that's why you can chop it off at the drop of a hat. Or maybe you don't really care about long hair. We are parallel lines.
Short hair doesn't suit me at all. For me the longer and fuller, the better.

Both. It grows fast and i don't really care if it's long or not. Except sometimes when i want to grow it then it seems like it takes forever
LOL long hair is a hassle, even if it's just synthetic. I used to braid hair upto my bum. Aswerigawd eh , the hair will be all over the place, getting in the way
