Growing hair by braiding....help

[hair911]

I am currently growing my hair by braiding only. I cut my hair in March, almost all of it because it was really damaged. My last relaxer was mid march. I was wondering if anyone in here is using this method. How often do you stay between braids and how often do you relax? Also what products do you use.

THis site has great tips on growing out your hair using braids www.growafrohairlong.com. She suggest that you braid your hair for 2 months and then let it breathe for 2 months via protective styles.
