i had 'em once to grow out my relaxer when i went natural, and i lost no hair or edges or anything, and my hair grew superlong. just wash 'em & keep 'em sprayed w/water or sheen, & they'll be fine. My sister did 'em, took 13 hours to braid up(my hair so thick itz ridiculous) but only 2 to take down 'cuz i recruited sum buddies... but uh yeah, if the stylist knows what she's doin(or the girlfriend), u should have nothin to worry about, micros are a healthy style

I have wet and wavy micros right now. They look good on me, are very convenient, and I get them often. Depending on how they're done, you can wash them out. It takes less times (like an hour) to take them out :wink: But if they're done to where you have to do it manually then you get you a few friends to help you take them bad boys out! Tongue out

Shyyit yall better find someone on your campus that can braid! I only paid $50 for the ones I got in my head now. That's the cheapest I've ever paid for micros and they have lasted longer than when I paid more. The most I pay is $65 and that's at the shop ((South Carolina)) $95 if you want straight braids instead of wavy. And YES. You should ALWAYS condition your hair before you take braids out! That's why yall's hair is falling out. My hair ALWAYS grows when I have braids. And I can't believe some of yall are paying damn near $400 for some braids! Eek

I pay $17 for my hair ((yes you can find human hair for cheap too!)) and less than $100 for the braids to get done. Shop around before settling on one person.
