I am trying to grow out my hair it is almost APL and my goal is BSL. Does anyone have any good experiences of using a weave as a protective style? I am hoping that if I treat the braided portions with reconstructors and deep conditioners that it will remain healthy with minimal breakage. What do you guys think?

Whenever I want to give my hair an extra boost I always get braids.If you take proper care of your hair and your braids I think everything should go well. It always work for me. Give it a try! Good Luck! |

Thanks___Keisha. You spell your name the same way that I do.  But braids aren't really my thing. I would like to try them later but for summer I was hoping to use the full head weave... |

well i have been wearing a sewn in weave for almost 3 years now and it helps a lot. my hair has growm very well and seems stronger and fuller, i guess just becuz wasnt messin with it everyday ya know?? for the first month or so, it is easy to keep yur braided hair moisturized, but after that i just saw 'screw it' and leave it alone until i take it out. mine last for about 4 months at a time,so i only relax when i take it out. overall i give weaves an A+

that's what i had in mind. i didn't want to touch the hair on a daily basis I just wanted it to grow while being strenghthened and moisturized without daily styling. Also the weave would give me an additional 3 months or so without having a relaxer. It's already been more than 2 months. I hope this works for me
