Limp hair that won't hold a curl at all.  Sometimes hair is very frizzy and won't be silky (like a treasure troll's hair).  It breaks off easily.  Very dry despite the fact that you take care of it.

Maybe doing a REALLY hardcore protein treatment will help it.  Like aphogee treatment for damaged hair.

Then just really baby your hair.  Keep it moisturized and conditioned, don't use heat often or at all if possible.  Keep up with regular protein tretments.  I don't think that it'd ever be like your healthy relaxed hair, but you may be able to make it be in better condition.

yeah it can help, but remember that some braided styles break hair and that you need to give youreself regular breaks in between.  They do need to be washed

And moisturized too!

Spray a good liquid leave in on them daily.

Also, make sure that they aren't tiny micors or too big and heavy(having very small and very big braids puts more stress on the hair and scalp) and that they aren't done too tightly.

I was just going to keep it cornrowed for a month. I am just trying to give
my hair and myself a break for a few weeks. I really appreciate the info
that you have given me *BIG HUG*.
