I`ve recently had my hair microbraided. Now I`m hearing all of these horror stories about microbraids causing women`s hair to thin or completely fall out. I want to know how common this is and what I can do to prevent it from happening to me.

Recently I decided to get the microbraids with the hair out at the ends. BIG MISTAKE! My hair is so thin now. I thought I made a mistake taking them out because I have had braids before and the exact opposite has happen when I take the braids out. I would always have thicker, fuller and longer hair from the braids but not this time . I wish someone would have told me that microbraids could do this to your hair! DON`T DO IT!

Sorry I didn`t realize that you said that you had the micro braids in all ready. I heard that you shouldn`t keep them in longer than three weeks.

NO SUPER GLUE!!!

my sister had micobraids done and they used super glue on the roots to keep them in, the stylest said she did hers the same way and had no problems but my sister did

it took us weeks to get those things down and we tried EVERYTHING thing nothing worked and finally we had to take her to get them cut out she had her hair in a pretty "Bob" type cut but after the Mirco disaster it was less then 1 inch long,

but its grown some now !
