In order to maintain healthy hair? For me it was my Micro Braids. I had them on and off for three years but had to part with them because of the breakage. I loved getting them because all of the different styles you can do with them and you did not have to do anything with your real hair. ------------- "God makes no mistakes" he created you the way you are suppose to be. |

Let's see: Flat ironing my hair every week on high heat. That was a struggle. Blowdrying my hair. I think that was it. |

Not flat ironing my hair as much was hardest for me. Also my cornrows. You would think they would be healthy for the hair but whenever I take them out my hair sheds like crazy! It feels like I'm loosing so much hair and I hate it. ------------- |

Any type of individual braids, let it be micros, pixies, etc. It messes my scalp up and I've known this for a while but I'm hardheaded and stubburn sometimes . But this was my last time though. Therefore no more individual braids for me! ------------- ThAbAdDeStBaBy http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 - http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 Hair Goal: BSL by late 2007-early 2008 Hair now: net weave w/EP-RT |

| Same here. It was hard to give up individuals because they were so convienent. I would give that up any day to have and maintain healthy hair. I definitely not going there anymore. |
