How To Keep Your Hair Healthy With Micro Braids

Micro braid hairstyles are very popular right now.  They are both stylish and low maintenance.  There are many different types of “micro” braiding.  There are micro twists, micro curly, and micro rope to name a few.  Deciding which technique depends on how long you want to keep the braids.

Micro braids require care before, during and after the braiding process to ensure the best result possible.  Because the braids are so small hair can easily be damaged or even fall out.  So be sure that your hair is not brittle.  Because the micro braids are so tight, they need to be well taken care of. Make sure to deep condition your hair before you have micro braids put in your hair.  While you are having your hair braided make that they are not too tight if you feel pain ask the braider to loosen them until you feel comfortable. Once your braids are in be sure to use a braid spray daily to keep your hair moisturized.   Micro braids can be worn for up to two months but a shorter time period may be best so as to damage hair too much.

Deep conditioning treatments can also be applied while the micro braids are in your hair however because of the tightness of the braids the conditioning treatment will not be able to penetrate as deeply as possible so it is very important to deep condition your hair before having it micro braided.  Deep conditioning will give your hair the best chance it has to remain healthy and strong.

Try A Hairstyle Before Making The First Cut

How do you know that a hairstyle you have chosen will look good on you? Before you make the cut or change your hair color you want to be completely sure the style you have chosen will look good on you and will fit your personality. If you want to make small changes you can always make small cuts and trims as well as make small changes to your hair color by adding highlights. These are small changes that will not drastically alter your look, but when it comes to making a large change to your style you want to make sure it looks good.

There is virtual hairstyle software that you can upload a picture of yourself and actually change or alter your hair style. You can make changes to the length, style and even color to see how it would look on you. Through this virtual makeover software you can see how your new hairstyle and color looks and then take that picture to your stylist as an example of what you want.

Wigs are another way of getting a picture of what your new style would look like on you before you make the drastic changes. Wigs are actually not too expensive and can be used whenever you want. They are a great dress up piece for Halloween or just for fun. Wigs can be found in almost any hairstyle and color you can think of. You can also make cuts to your wig to try different styles of hair before making your final decision. It is important to be completely satisfied with any drastic hair style change, otherwise you will have to wait months before your hair grows back to its normal length. If you change the color of your hair, it is much easier to color it back than it is to re-grow hair.
