I would suggest if you want and even look you can cut them after, if you want you ends to look like you did nothing to them you could also try stretching the actually extension, of course you would have to cut them before to get the ends to look like it was natural not burnt or put in hot water. <br /><br />Hope this helps if your new to extension I would say place the ends in hot water and cut them after. Make sure not to burn yourself :)stans hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831889821803290581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273877341591908547.post-35479922990897478232012-11-04T02:11:10.704-05:002012-11-04T02:11:10.704-05:00Hello :) i really want to do box braids but i don&...Hello :) i really want to do box braids but i don't want them to be too long cause im scared they'll be too heavy.

If you decided to perm your hair before getting braids you will need to wait a certain amount of time before putting nay stress on your hair. After a perm the hair is more porous which means it can become more dry and brittle. Definitely condition your hair often to keep it moisturised you can do this with your braids but you have to be very gentle. Since you are going to braid your hair the second note to mention is that you do not really need to perm your hair. Box braids or braids of any type act as a protective styling for your hair. What you can do is get a great deep conditioning or even a protein treatment to strength the hair while it is in braids. Note: Protein treatments do not agree with everyone's hair. By doing this you can go ahead and braid your hair and not have to worry, make sure to moisturise your scalp with a light oil like coconut oil, or jojoba oil. Try to avoid build up by using acv (apple cider vinegar or a light shampoo mixed with water so it doesn't strip away to much moisturise from your hair. I really hope this helps and of course the tips I have shared above are more than helpful with gentle to those edges.

I have also seen even smaller sizes with less hair used on each ones. I have seen the really big ones, I actually love those for an easy quick go to protective style. It might not last as long as the smaller ones do but they will do you good for a few weeks. It really depends on what you want for your self.stans hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831889821803290581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273877341591908547.post-29088216276970451482012-08-19T03:58:04.240-04:002012-08-19T03:58:04.240-04:00What is a perfect cute size for Box Braids?What is a perfect cute size for Box Braids?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273877341591908547.post-6807322516117040402012-08-16T08:31:14.315-04:002012-08-16T08:31:14.315-04:00Hi I have never used it for more than just a ponyt...Hi I have never used it for more than just a ponytail I did about two weeks ago where I braided the hair in one. The quality is definitely better than the 99/1.99$ jumbo pack. However, you certainly do not need to spend more than you need to when doing box braids. I ended up using the 5.99$ pack because I wanted the ponytail to be extremely long and that hair was definitely long enough. You do not need to blow out your hair, it is a plus to make sure your hair is detangled very well and deep condition so it is soft and easy to manipulate. It is really a choice on whether you blow dry it, you can definitely achieve a neat look with either way if you have a great hairdresser or someone you knows how to smooth your hair as they braid. Before I did my braids I had not have braids since I was in highschool, these lasted me three months and was extremely neat and I did then myself without blow drying my hair. I simply used light oils to oil my scalp, did not use heavy products and use water to moisturise. I was very gentle with my deep conditioning and washing. I took my time with styling the hair. Just have fun am sure you will enjoy it. xoxo I hope this was helpful. stans hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831889821803290581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273877341591908547.post-592438292242962122012-08-15T18:51:45.062-04:002012-08-15T18:51:45.062-04:00What are your thoughts on the Remy 45" braidi...What are your thoughts on the Remy 45" braiding hair (i think it's kankelon hair) hair would that be too soft for some one with thick natural hair. I found a lot of diffrent kankelon hair that starts at 1.99 (jumbo pack) made by popular brand hair companies. the remy braiding hair looks like a better quality and at 5.99 a 45" pack you cant beat that. Would I have to blow my hair out just slightly to get braids installed. (My hair tends to coil/curl up after washing it)I havent had braids in a long time and I havent had braids since becoming natural. I love the advice you have given.Girl Fridaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273877341591908547.post-50932958547958557862012-08-10T15:17:29.500-04:002012-08-10T15:17:29.500-04:00Hi, synthetic hair normal starts at 5$ but can go ...Hi, synthetic hair normal starts at 5$ but can go much more expensive depending on the type of hair you are looking for.
