Long story short, I have waist length long wavy hair and I have been considering a drastic new style...either micro braids or micro dreads (not sure if this is the correct term for thin dreads, but tis all I could come up with.
The braids will not be permenant of course because unlike dreads, you can unbraid them and go back to your natural style. The dreads would be permenant, and I do not want dread extensions.
I am very nervous about DREADIN for two reasons 1) dreads actually seem very high maintenance and take alot of care and time and 2) I don't want to lose alot of length because I have been growing my hair out for nearly 6 years, so I have decided braids first!
I just want a change, so I am thinking of having micro braids done on my natural hair but with a professional for the time being. It would give me the look and feel of dreads without the commitment. I can see how much length I would lose, and I can always remove them if I do not like them.
I have always loved the look of dreads and braids, but have never gotten them done.
Has anyone with white girl hair had micro braids done? How much length did you use? How long could you keep the braids in? Did this style do damage to your hair? I have so many questions and I am sure there will be many more where this came from, but this is a good start!
Id love to hear from all of my braided babes and dreaded divas! TY in advance for ur replies
