How To Care For Your Braids.

More hair than expected was falling to the floor and Janelle still had to untangle the knots at the root of her hair.

Six hours later with her hair washed clean and untangled, Janelle had lost half of the natural hair on her head. She went to the barber in tears.

Countless women have lost a large amount of hair after wearing braids extensions. Perhaps you have been one of them. Braids are a great way of protecting your hair but you need to remember one thing – You still have hair on your head that you need to care.
