thank you ladies so much for the advice...
i definetly will not get my "micros" that small...i call them micros because i use human hair but also tell the stylist not to braid them so small....but also the prices of braids have gone up or are very expensive and i hardly have the patience right now to sit and get them done...so i probably will wait awhile or i may not even consider getting braids not sure yet...
Ive been trying to find books on natural black hair care and it is truly a task locally..i would love to start reading more on the subject when im not online...i went to 4 different bookstores yesterday and none of them had anything...thats really sad...so i guess i'll have to order them from online...
