How long does it take to do the styles?

It depends on the person. Cornrows should only take about a couple of hours about 1-4. But it depends on if you are getting a design or not. Single braids take about 6-8 hours if you only have 1 person working on the head. If you have two it will go faster. Micro braids will take 8-12 hours. Bantu knots will take 1-3. Nulocs will take 8-12. Hair Extensions Take 3 Hours. Spaghetti Braids take 2 days to do. So when you come to get your hair done, make sure you have nothing to do for the rest of the day.

What kind of hair should I buy?

It is up to you. If you are getting micros you can get yaky or human. Yaky costs less so I recomend that. If you are getting single braids get synthetic braiding hair. It is only $1-$4 a bag. Same with cornrows. It all depend on if you are going to leave the ends open or not. If you are getting a weave see if you want straight hair, afro hair or if you want curly. If you are getting nulocs you can buy red hart yarn from Wal-mart. Yes, Wal-mart. In the sewing and craft ile. Get crowshet yarn.

Do I buy the hair?

Where do I buy the hair?

You can go to any Sally's or you can go to Lee's on 22nd. Lee's has hair from the celing to the floor. You can also go to Wigaramas on Congress, or you can just buy it off the internet.

Do You Do Hair Other Than African American?

If I just permed my hair should I wait to have my hair braided or twisted or put a weave/extensions in?

Yes!! You should wait at least 2 weeks, Your hair is very weak now and you need not do alot to it. If you come and get your hair done right after, your hair could brake out and you will be bold in some spots.

How Do You Wash Single Braids and Twists?

To me it is better to wash you hair when you are in the shower. Get your head soaking wet and put the shampoo on your head. Rub the shampoo on your scalp with the balls of your fingers and not use your finger nails. When you have done this to all of your scalp. push the remaining water and soap down the braid. Go in one motion down the braid. Do not go up and down on the same braid or you will cause frizzing, and it will look like you need to get your hair done already. Do this to the entire head. When you are done rinse your hair and scalp.  Ring out your braids and twists like a towle so you will not drip water everywhere. To dry do not use a blow dryer or a hooded dryer, this will take a long time. It is better to let your hair air dry. Wrap your hair in a towle and let it dry or go out in the sun. Going out in the sun is what I do.

What Shampoo Should I use?

It depends on what style you have but , try to find a shampoo that does not have alcohol in it. Read your ingredients on the back of the bodles. If it has alcohol in it, do not use it. It will strip your hair of some of the oils your hair needs to thrive and grow. Even if you are caucasion or any other race. You still need some of the oils to be left in your hair. If you take out all of the oils in your hair, your hair will be dry and your scalp will be more prone to lice and dandruff and other things like this. Alcohol----- BAD!!!. Try to switch up your shampoos every once and a while. Even if have used the same shampoo for the last 5 years, go to another brand. You will find out that your hair will not be lifeless anymore and it will have bounce and it will swing in the wind.  I have five different brands in my house. Your hair sometimes like our bodies, gets amuned to some of the things we do to it like the same exercises and the same shampoos. You will find out that the shampoo that once worked great for you, is not all that great anymore. Use another brand (without alcohol of corse) and your hair will thank you.

Do I have to condition my hair, isn't shampoo enough?

Shampoo is good but conditioner is better. Also it depens on the style that you have to but you need to condition you hair to repair any damage that you may have done to it over the years. Conditioner repairs and tries to correct any damage. If you are wearing dreadlocs make sure your hair is fully dreaded before you start to condition it. If your hair is not fully dreaded and you use condioner, all of the work you put into your hair may be lost. I mean your hair could come down. So wait till your hair is fully dreaded and you can tell if your hair is fully dreaded by the ends of your hair. Are the ends of your hair round? If most of your dreads are, then your hair is in the final stage of adult hood and you can condition now. This is for everyone----if your hair is damaged, I mean beyond repair, do a deep condition once a week, for 4 or 5 weeks. Take any conditioner, saturate your hair and sit under a dryer for 30 min.  (after you wash it of course). Don't have a hooded dryer? Do the same thing but put a shower cap on your head and go to bed. When you wake up in the morning rinse it out.

How Do You Seal Micro Braids, When You Leave The Ends Open?

I do not do slip knots. Slip knots some times do not stay so I do not do them. I use nail glue. I will braid past your real hair than I will put nail glue in the fake hair. To me, glue stays better than slip knots.

With the all natural products, will my hair smell like the food that was put in it?

No. I rinse your hair for a whole 5-10 minutes after to get all of  the food out so there will be no smell. If you want to follow up the natural products with some baby shampoo (only baby shampoo) then that is fine.
