LOVE THESE! Is your hair relaxed? I've been thinking about trying to self install some of these and I don't know if my hair being relaxed would make a difference.

@browndiva7 Thanks girl!! I'm actually growing out my relaxer. I decided to do yarn braids as a transitioning hairstyle. I had about 3 months worth of new growth before I did the braids. For you though, If you have just done a relaxer, wait eight weeks from that date and then do the braids. I probably would only keep then in about a month, maybe two. Make sure you do a really good deep conditioning treatment so that your hair is at its strongest.

@browndiva7 Also, watch the vids by BlackOnyx77. She has really great tips on caring for the braids. Hope this helps!! Send me pics too if you decide to put them in. : )
