1. are french braids for little kids?

I am the same age / same grade your in (: No, they are totally not for just little kids I wear them all the time you have really fine hair btw, :D

2. How long should I leave the braids in?

better to put them in wet and take them out whenever they are dry

3. Wat is plaiting your hair?

It's the same as doing braids

4. Doesn't R. Kelly look like a dark-skinned Freddy Krueger with braids?

I always said Hugh Hefner reminded me of Freddy Kruegar

5. Is it ok to get a sew in weave right after you take your micro braids down the smae day?

yea its fine. i've done that alot because i have school and a hectic schedule so i dont have enough time to be doing my hair every morning/night. so sometimes i take my hair our one day, and braid it the next day (which is usually less than 10hrs later). buts its fine to do it the same day. alot of people do but you have to remember to let it breath for about a week or 2 next time you take it out i usually let mine breath every 3 months or so (after continuous braiding) so i say...go for it! =]

6. if i get braids for the summer will my hair grow back?

My favorite are the micros. When I have worn them, I usually have the braider leave the ends loose. You have to be careful with your edges

7. How do you get pretty loose waves with braids?

ikr? i do that with my hair to i just shower at night while my hairs still really wet i braid it into about 15-20 braides then take them out in the morning and hairspray them but when u take them out dont un-do the braid till u straighten the bottom where its not braided to add a really good look besides a wayvy bottom. goodluck!(:

8. How on earth do u do cornrows?!?!?!?

You can do that, see link below. But I do not recommend you keep them on too long or too tight. Here's why HAIR WEAVES & BRAIDS: Some hairstyles, including tight braids and weaves, may increase the risk of developing an irreversible form of scarring hair loss, according to a new study in the Archives of Dermatology. Seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally. "Any style that causes too much tension and traction on the hair, such as braiding with artificial hair weaved in, can possibly lead to scarring hair loss," says study author Angela Kyei, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. In the study, 326 African-American women answered questionnaires about their hair-grooming methods, health status, and other demographic information. Dermatologists then performed a scalp examination to grade hair loss. Nearly 60% of the women showed signs of advanced central hair loss with scarring. The women were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and bacterial scalp infections, and sport hair styles associated with traction, including braids and weaves, the study showed. "But hair loss is permanent, meaning that we can inject steroids or creams but it wo not bring your hair back, so it's very important to seek help with dermatologists early on," she says. One example who just got a weave: "okay , i got it done exactly a week ago . it was ripple deep curls . now , it's A MESS . no curls at ALL . and then i have school tomorrow , how can i fix it and make the curls come back ?"

9. Does sleeping with your hair in braids really make your hair curly?

it doesnt nessasarily make it curly...it adds more of a wave, but your hair must be slightly wet, utherwise it wo not work

10. Can anybody braids hair? If so young in old ladies get in here i need major advice?

Learn to braid your own self and stop depending on other people. Maybe you are the lazy one?
