Relax B 4 Baiding

Actually I have my hair braided for a year now, and it is harded for the braids to stay in when your hair is freshly permed...it is more prone to coming out. It is better not to perm your hair before you braid it. But after you take it out and are done with braids. Plus you hair needs time get fuller and back to normal again after relaxing your hair and it usually takes a couple of weeks to do that.
FYI

The pros, your braids wont be frizzy when you get it relaxed then braided, and the braids will last longer when relaxed. The cons, The relaxed hair may be proned to breaking when it is braided, the hair might be to straight to get a good grip to get the braid started if your braiding with weave.
