French braiding hair for waves?

Does it work? If you do that does it work? And what hair products do u use for that?French braiding hair for waves?
Yes, it kind of works. You'll get super tight waves, almost like your hair was crimped, if you have shoulder-length hair.





If your hair is long and you make a loose braid, it will be nicely wavy.





No products. Just wash your hair at night, braid it when damp, and go to sleep.French braiding hair for waves?
Yes it does, I do that to my daughters hair and it gets wavy for the whole day.. i dont use any products, other that wet hair, and my hands.. you could use some hairspray i suppose
yes it does work i wear my hair like tht all the time , even cornrows or single braids will do the trick . wash your hair and blow it out or leave wet its your choice , use a light mouse or a setting lotion braid it up and tie it down with a silk scarf and the next day when u take them out should like good
I do it all the time...when I take my shower (washing my hair) I just braid my hair into three section (I have a lot of hair) and take it down in the morning (I use mousse to control the fuzz)
i have got my hair french braided before so my hair would be wavy...
For loose waves, I french braid my hair (single braid), and do not tie off the ends. I then put the braid into a sock that is slightly shorter than the length of my braid. I use a scrunchie or fat ponytailer to hold the sock onto my braid. This is how I sleep with my hair at night. In the morning, the end of the braid is nicely curled and and have great waves!
any kinds of braids work a little mouse works good
you don't need a hair product! Just french braid it while its still wet and leave it in for a day and take it out and it will be wavy.
braid it before you go to bed and when you wake up take out the braid and you will have waves in your hair
I have curlyish hair and it works for me, but mine likes to get frizzy on me. I'd recommend hair spray or something. But then again, my hair is always frizzy. I should get something for that.
no product...just make your hair wet first then do it....and yes it does work...but dont brush it afterwords or youll be a puff ball
yes it works


use hair spray and the waves will stay

Where can I learn to african braid hair?

I want to know; where Can I go to learn how to braid like afican pepole?Where can I learn to african braid hair?
Americans are the ones who braid hair. Most Africans here (US) learned how to do it once they came here. I could direct you to some places but you didn't specify what type of braiding you want to learn or where you live.Where can I learn to african braid hair?
Black Americans mostly descending from Africa, hence African braiders are also imported, as opposed to hiring local talent to keep up with demand for African hair braiding.

  • Hi Does Anyone know what kind of curly hair is good braiding hair??? please HELP!!!!?

    what are you asking ?

    I get my hair braided weekly, but only because my scalp gets serverly flakey why is this and how can i stop it

    When i say extremely i mean bad, sometimes it looks like mini scabs, sometimes they r large and appear when I comb or pick my hair. No itching tho, they are just annoying.I get my hair braided weekly, but only because my scalp gets serverly flakey why is this and how can i stop it
    If you have any open sores or patches of dry skin contact your doctor for a proper diagnoses. But if there are no patches or conditions then chances are you just need a good cleaning or moisturizing shampoo.





    You should always change your shampoo to the present condition of your hair. If you have healthy shiny hair, you need a light-shampoo, if you use colour you might try a color seal shampoo. Every shampoo lines carries moisturising shampoo in all shapes, sizes and prices. Season, activity heat intensity, products used after your blow dry can make your hair dry. It鈥檚 quite simple to fix. A good moisturizing conditioner will help also.





    Sometimes a hairspray or styling product may cause a little build up around the surface of your scalp. Look at the label and make sure your shampoo is a cleaning or cleating shampoo. Their purpose is to get rid of build-up and keep your hair clean allowing a conditioner to work. Sometimes if there鈥檚 too much build-up the conditioner you put at your scalp can鈥檛 reach down to the root where the root of the matter is. No pun intended.





    The only caution when using a cleansing shampoo is that if you just had a dark or red colour it will fade it faster then a regular moisturizing shampoo. Ask your stylist what you can do to help that, they probably have the product that will fix both problems.I get my hair braided weekly, but only because my scalp gets serverly flakey why is this and how can i stop it
    Consult a dermatologist.He may advise you to how to use anti dandruff shampoo.In my experience NIZRAL shampoo with ketocoazole 3% works satisfactorily.However the instructions should be followed strictly.
    use an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner or go see your doctor or skin specialist, they should be able to prescribe something for it

    If I were to get my hair braided, can I keep my fringe?

    Or would it look really retarded- but I like my fringe? Or any other suggestions for how to have my hair (which is naturally blonde thick wavy and unmanageable without styling products or appliances) or hair products for a trip to Peru where I will be walking the Inca Trail and in the Amazon ie. no showers! or straighteners!If I were to get my hair braided, can I keep my fringe?
    VERY retarded =D


    Buttttttttttt You can French plait it. It will stay out of the way and is easy to do when it hasn't been washed for ages.


    If all else fails just have a bun


    Hope I helped xxDIf I were to get my hair braided, can I keep my fringe?
    Braiding it is realy damaging if it's done to tight, but it would be convenient as less cleaning is needed. I would ask your local hairdresers or if you know anyone who has had it done before ask them. Some people do it on the streets they are a fast option but take wax or gell with you as they use the cheaper option (vasaline). You could leave your fringe but it might look silly, people can braid your hair with the fringe it just gets absorbed into a longer braid.


    Good luck and have a nice trip.
    you dont have to have your fringe braided you can just leave it out. maby plaits or just down sounds ok im not good at deciding it was just 4 thaa first bit!!!
    yeah you can keep your fringe.
    Of course you can keep your fringe, why not, i think it would look good!!
    Don't keep the fringe, it will look odd and you said you won't be able to style it anyway.
    Yeah, I have had my hair braided twice and kept the frindge. It looked nice too.
    YEAH
    u cant keep it but i think it might look abit silly
    i did that but i kept my fring n it looked stupid tbh so just get it done as well

    i used to have a perm and 3 yrs ago i cut it all off...i ussually straighten my hair w a flat iron before getting it braided cuz it would be manageable, but what i've realized is that right as after the first wash my hair shows through the braids because it gets back to the curly kinky style...so i was wondering if i should leave it kinky and get it braided without straightening it...anybody out there who does or gets african hair braiding done...should i leave my hair as is or straigten it...btw i'm getting senegalese twists tommorrow ....thanks in advance =][african hair braiding] should i straighten my hair before braiding it? please help =]?
    don't straighten your hair first. Get it braided in its natural state because when you put water on it, its going to revert back anyway! So dont even waste the time, your hair will last much longer.[african hair braiding] should i straighten my hair before braiding it? please help =]?
    no i dont think you should straiten it if you leave it at your natural straight but of course wash it before you start you hair will be wet and will be easier to braid and and probley would last longer
    NO! It will break your hair.


    BTW, my girlfriend is black
    you shouldnt straighten your hair if its going to show through the braids, but yea don't straighten it then if your hairs naturally curly it'll blend in w/the braids.
    you should blow dry it out and then corn roll it with some grease
    Getting African hair braiding done is a time consuming process, and it helps if your hair is slightly texturized. Otherwise the process of hiding braiding clients hair adds at least an hour to the braiding time. For Senegalese twists in particular, hiding non-permed hair, or hair that will eventually look natural is a little harder to do, depending on several factors:





    Length of your own hair:


    If your own hair is very short, most good braiders braid to the end of your hair, then start the Senegalese twists. This process achieves the desired style, and helps to retain that beautify head of twists even after several washes months into the future.





    If getting regular braids: (for those who are)


    It is important to me as a braider to hide clients hair, whether using synthetic or human hair for braids. Be aware however, that if your hair is not permed, to stay away from Invisible braids, Micro minis, and Medium micros. Invisibles require braiding and leave the rest of your natural hair showing, and for any type of Micro braid style, request the braid to go past your natural hair length. Single braids commonly require braiding well past client hair- no issue with this type of style.





    Please note that most other hair braiders make it a prerequisite to braiding unrelaxed hair because it wastes time they could use on another client within the shop working hours and reduces their total daily revenue intake. If you were braiding at Kaales African Hair braiding, for example, you would not need to worry about straightening your hair first. As a Master braider- over 11 years experience working with kinky hair, permed hair, and hair loss clients- I can make you look like a million dollars with a full head of hair or not.

    Search youtube. People create tutorials for everything imaginable, including how to apply half wigs, how to braids/cornrows, how to install weave, apply relaxers, etc. That's where I learned how to do my own flat twists. Be sure to check out several videos on any one topic and always read viewer comments, because the critical ones could be onto something because anyone can create a video tutorial and post it but it doesn't mean they know what they're talking about, and many people give bad advice.

    What kind of women are the most attractive? Black hair? Blonde hair? Braids?

    I personally think females with black hair and brown eyes with a light skin are the most beautiful in the world. Look at all the Miss Worlds and other beauties (salma heyek, Aishwarya, etc)What kind of women are the most attractive? Black hair? Blonde hair? Braids?
    u can't judge someone on how pretty they r just by the color of their hair!!!!! Ppl have other great qualaties too!!! sheeesh!What kind of women are the most attractive? Black hair? Blonde hair? Braids?
    i wish i had black/dark brown hair(natrually) really blue eyes and my normal pale skin! i wish i had that i think it is so pretty!!
    I don't think there is any set pattern for beauty. Beauty comes in many forms. It all depends on how a woman carries herself. Inner beauty can radiate outward and draw you toward a woman. I believe the eyes are the window to the soul and that you can tell a lot about a person through eye contact alone. A smile is always important too. A smile can make the least attractive person beautiful.
    It changes year to year, season to season, country to country. Right now, you seem to have nailed the current trend

    Okay, so I really want wavy hair.

    then wake up then take them out.


    if i do this every day fro like 6 months, will my hair become permanently wavy?


    my friend said that she did this and it worked, so i was just wonderingBraiding hair train hair to be wavy?
    no you'll probably have to keep up this routine when ever you want to wear your hair wavy.Braiding hair train hair to be wavy?
    No, sorry, your hair is genetically what you have. The only way to get wavy hair is have a perm. It will chemically change the structure of your hair, but when it grows out it will be what you had before.
    No, it will not become permanently wavy. You think that by braiding it for 6 months, it will be wavy for the rest of your life? Nah.

    keep in mind, human hair isn't heavy to the head like the synthetic is.
    Hi,





    I don't know much about braiding with synthetic or human hair, but I do know that if you prefer synthetic that that is exactly what you should go for. Don't allow anyone to push you in to a more expensive process that doesn't last as long if that's not what you want.
    use human hair, it will cost more, but probably look a lot better!!!

    How long do hair weaves last? and when you get your real hair braided and it hurts..?

    is it going to hurt for the whole time you have your weave in?





    and





    when you take the weave out, is your hair still going to look normal after you wash it once?








    Tell me everything you know about hair weaves please! :DHow long do hair weaves last? and when you get your real hair braided and it hurts..?
    How longs do weaves last?


    It depends on the texture of your hair and the sensitivity of your scalp.


    I have what they call ';virgin hair'; so the weave did pull out my hair. When I got may hair braided it DID hurt because I am not use to it and it can itch as well.





    I had two weaves last summer and I prefer wigs if I am going to have fake hair. (I live in LA). Beware of extensions, plus there are so many people who will rip you off IF you don't do your research.





    Generally, a weave doesn't last long but it sure looks GREAT for awhile. It can get expensive if you want to update it and essentially it is not healthy for your hair because your scalp needs to breathe.


    When you take the weave out, it smells.


    And it did hurt AND it itched occasionally or after I watched my hair.


    I would personally stick with Wigs if you want fake hair. You can get human hair. And weaves/wigs can be addictive like CRACK because its so hard to quit.


    If you want to grow your hair, try exercising as it increases the blood flow throughout your WHOLE body.


    I am sure you are just as beautiful naturally. Try it for the experience.


    If you live in LA, try HIS AND HER'S. All the celebrities went here before they were ';famous';. And now they get it done at Beverly Hills for ';the circus';.


    Good Luck!

Unlike perfume or cologne, the product contains no scent of its own, so it doesn't cover or mask the smell. The natural, nontoxic spray neutralizes the odor as it evaporates and works best when used within a few hours after exposure to smoke.

    Stop smoking!





    There is that girl in the Nicorette(?) commercial commenting on how nice her hair smells now that she's on the patch or gum or whatever.





    Why not follow her lead?
    I used to use febreeze it worked, just don't spray it in your scalp...
    This is preventative rather than after the fact... If I'm going anywhere smoky, I always spray my hair with Redken Workforce 09 (formerly ';Airtight';) hairspray. I hate coming home smelling like smoke and it works It locks out humidity, too.
    Take some baking soda and dissolve in water - stand in the shower and pour over your head then rinse the odor will be gone.

    Is braiding your hair a bad thing?

    Braiding hair is a common practice and it does not damage hair. Is braiding your hair a bad thing?
    no because its just a practice, it does not do anything to your hair, it acually makes your hair grow longer. also it makes your hair smoother if you do it rightIs braiding your hair a bad thing?
    Hair braiding does NOT make your hair grow faster....that's a myth
    No, it's good for the hair. It seems to stimulate growth.
    It makes my hair feel smooth! :D

  • Is it bad to braid hair once you get out of the shower?

    I'm braiding my hair after I shower so it can have a wavy look.





    Will this ruin my hair? Is it bad to do this every night?Is it bad to braid hair once you get out of the shower?
    It won't ruin your hair.


    Just don't tie them too tight!








    Such a beautiful name, by the way!


    My mother's name is Celeste, too.





    xoxoxIs it bad to braid hair once you get out of the shower?
    I braid my hair after showering sometimes, simply because my hair is naturally pin-straight and i love the wavy look.


    It's not going to damage your hair if you do it occasionally


    But doing it every night isn't too good for your hair. It can damage the hair strands and cause them to break.





    So don't do this every night. Maybe a few times a week.
    Nope, it's just the same as braiding hair dry.


    Not that braiding hair is unhealthy for your hair at all.


    Hardly, it's just a way to style your hair without using tools like curling irons or straightners which is BAD!
    i used to do it like that. it never did any damage, though i didn't do it every night. but i don't think it will ruin your hair.
    I do that all the time, it's not bad for your hair, but i wouldn't do it EVERY night, it may cause your scalp some damage!


    X x
    no it's actually quite healthy, just make sure you try to remove as much water as possible before braiding it and use a satin pillowcase when sleeping to protect your hair... (whether dry or wet)...
    Its not bad for your hair if your hair is kept healthy and don't make the braid super tight





    It looks really cool when you take it out
    no its not
    yaa.ur hair might break frm btween.u cud do dat @ nite.

    Braiding my hair at night doesn't work, help?

    I luv that crimped hair look, I used to do it when I was younger but since then my hair has gotten really full and it doesn't look the same, it comes out more like hagrid or hermione. would more or less braids help?Braiding my hair at night doesn't work, help?
    no! put SMALLER braids in! use a lil bit of hairspray and make sure to take a bath/shower before and wash yyour hair with shampoo and conditionerBraiding my hair at night doesn't work, help?
    well this is what i do and it works. I take a shower and wash and condition my hair, while it is still wet put a bit of mousse in it and then do two braids on the side of my head really small and intricate. When you take it out in the morning don't brush it or only a little bit because this will make the crimps loose there volume.
    put it in two braids. one on each side. DONT french braid it if it's coming out like that. do it when its ALMOST dry, but a tinnnyy bit wet, so it holds.





    :)
    put bigger braids and put A LOT of leave in conditioner/mousse in it and then put some gel
    try using a defrizzing cream on damp hair and braid your hair in 2 french braids. when u take them out, dont brush your hair or it will frizz
    I think you should save yourself the trouble and buy a crimper
    You could use curlers or scrunch your hair with


    scrunching gel. I hope I helped.

    Can I get my hair braided if I just relaxed it?

    What brand of hair should I use? What other products should I use to keep my hair from breaking off?Can I get my hair braided if I just relaxed it?
    I can only relate my own experience. I have full, thick, healthy hair.


    I got a relaxer, (8 yrs ago), and then got micro braids 2 weeks later.


    I really couldn't stand braids in my hair, so I only kept them in for about 2 weeks total. The braids damaged my hair so bad, that it cause it to break off @ the root on both sides of my head. First there were quarter size bald patches, then both sides completely- smooth like a babies butt!!!





    Because the braids damaged my hair folicles (that were easily damaged due to the relaxing), it ripped my hair out @ the root. I went to a dermotologist, and they said I developed Alopetia Aerota??? Something like that. Anyway, I had to get cortizone shots in my head to stimulate the growth.





    In the end, don't do it. If it doesn't rip it out right away, it can cause severe damage.

    Hair braiding issues...??????

    HI! I'm almost 15 and still don't know how to braid my hair. LOL. Kinda funny. All I know is you part it in three...WHAT NEXT??? Please give me thorough instructions. hahaHair braiding issues...??????
    okay, let me try to explain a totally standard braid for you. first, seperate your hair into three sections. next, take one section and put it on top of the middle section, crossing it over. next, take the other side section and put that one on top of the section, where it will cross into the middle of the two sections. now, you just keep on putting the bottom most section on top weaving in and out pretty much until your braid is complete.








    That is just a standard braid. After you figure this out then you can get onto practicing french braids and what not. I actually learned how to french braid when i was 7 and now i do cornrows and all that sort of stuff. I practiced on barbie dolls and my sister's hair. If you have friends, practice on them and have them help you.








    http://www.virtue.to/articles/braiding.h鈥?/a>





    go to that website, there is a diagram to see how to do it.Hair braiding issues...??????
    Divide tangle-free hair into three even sections. Place the left section between your left index finger and thumb, let the middle section hang free and place the right section between your right index finger and thumb. This will begin to create the hair braids.





    3Step ThreeGrab the middle section with your right middle finger and pull it so it passes behind the right section. Extend your right thumb and index finger so the portion of hair therein becomes the middle section.





    4Step FourUse the left middle finger to pull the middle section behind the left section. Extend or straighten the left index finger and thumb to make the left section become the middle section. Pay careful attention to the smoothness and tension of your hair braid sections.





    5Step FiveShift the portion of hair hooked in the right middle finger so it sits between the right index finger and thumb. Repeat the process, then shift the portion of the hair hooked in the left middle finger so it sits between the left index finger and thumb.





    6Step SixContinue until you achieve the desired length of the hair braid. Make a tighter, more compact braid by pulling the middle section into a horizontal line as you pull it to the right or left. For a loose, elongated braid, simply shift the middle section to the right or left, letting it remain in a vertical line.





    7Step SevenTie off the ends of the hair braid with a covered rubber band. Add a bow or barrette when appropriate.

    Do you need a licence to braid hair for money in ontario ?

    If a person wanted to set up a shop at a flea market in Ontario Canada for hair braiding%26amp;/ decorating, head massage%26amp;/wash with some product sales. What licences would be involved?Do you need a licence to braid hair for money in ontario ?
    To do hair you wouldn't need a licence.





    Although... you may need to look into the flea market, because sometimes to open up shop in one of them you must purchase some sort of licence.





    If you ever want to work in a salon, however, most salon's require you to have graduated from a beauty school.





    Another thing is if you are selling products, you may need to call or go to the website. With some products it is illegal to buy it from a store and then sell it on your own to make a larger profit.

    Could braiding my hair before i go to bed while its wet help me scrunch it?

    yes!! and also hair spay i use to do that to get my hair curly because it wouldnt get curlyCould braiding my hair before i go to bed while its wet help me scrunch it?
    Oh yeah I sometimes do that when I am too lazy to blowdry my hair, or I am going for a different look. Just make sure your braids are uniform, they dont have to be perfect but make sure they are as uniform as you can get them. Also I will put some gel on my hair before I braid it so when you take your hair out, the gel will help hold the curls, I dont use hairspray so this works best for me. Good Luck! Hope I have helped you!!!Could braiding my hair before i go to bed while its wet help me scrunch it?
    when your hair is wet put it in a tight bun on top of your head and secure it with pins [so it doesn't crinkle from a hair band]


    when you wake up it'll be wavy and still a little damp so you can scrunch product into it.
    If you braid your hair make sure the braids go down as far as as they can or else you will end up with straight ends...buns are a good way to make your hair curly! Braids will make your hair more kinky....If your going for curly you can mix it up by putting your hair in multiple smaller buns to make smaller, tighter curls.

    Is it advisable to Apply Gel before braiding relaxed hair???

    I would say no. I don't use any gel in my hair anymore, it just makes your hair hard and flakey and makes it easy to break off. I would use a good setting lotion or styling mousse, just apply it while your hair is wet and style it, and you could tie a scarf around it while it dries to keep it flat Hope this helps!!

    I keep my hair in a bun , make sure if you get braids you have the proper hair care (un scented) items you need , in BCT they dont carry alot of ethnic hair care products or have your family send you what you need.


    try these sites below


    Good luck!!!!Can women have braided hair in the military?
    Yes. As long as it is off your collar.
    Nope they will make you remove the braids. Your hair cant be any longer then shoulders and can be pulled up.

    Islam: Hi, I would like to know if it is halal for me to get my hair braided with synthetic hair?

    My hair was breaking and I had to cut it all off. Is it permissible for me to get my hair braided to help it grow? I wear hijab and so, it would not be on display for anyone-but myself and close family members to see.

    Islam: Hi, I would like to know if it is halal for me to get my hair braided with synthetic hair?
    i am sorry sister adding fake hair to your own is actually forbidden here are hadiths


    Hadith - Bukhari 4:674, Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman , see also Bukhari 4:694, 7:816





    That he heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (talking) on the pulpit in the year when he performed the Hajj. He took a tuft of hair that was in the hand of an orderly and said, ';O people of Medina! Where are your learned men? I heard the Prophet forbidding such a thing as this (i.e. false hair) and he used to say, 'The Israelis were destroyed when their ladies practiced this habit (of using false hair to lengthen their locks).';





    Hadith - Bukhari 7:133, Narrated 'Aisha , see also Bukhari 7:818





    An Ansari woman gave her daughter in marriage and the hair of the latter started falling out. The Ansari women came to the Prophet and mentioned that to him and said, ';Her (my daughter's) husband suggested that I should let her wear false hair.'; The Prophet said, ';No, (don't do that) for Allah sends His curses upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially.';Islam: Hi, I would like to know if it is halal for me to get my hair braided with synthetic hair?
    Peace be Upon You sister


    It is haram to have synthetic hair. I believe it's only allowed if you don't have hair but you should keep what Allah gave you. Plus Allah looks into your heart not the way you look. However changing your hair using Hinna is allowed.

    wow thats crazy!! I am in California, and got the same braids,mine only cost 85 dollars to get it done, and 15 maybe for the hair. And mine lasted 3 months! If she did it in her home, no. But if she did it in a salon, that is something different. They are licensed in a salon. I got mine done in a home though. I would talk to the manager, if you got it done in a salon. You should try and get a refund or something at least. In a salon, they should be more professional and care about their reputation.Are you required to have a license to braid hair?

    How much should I pay someone to french braid hair?

    My daughter needs her hair french braided for a competition this weekend and I don't know how to do it. A salon wants atleast $20.00 to do it and I don't want to pay that much. I found a friend of a friend to do it for me, but I'm not sure how much I should pay her. My daughter's hair is a few inches past the shoulder and she will need 2 braids. What do you think?How much should I pay someone to french braid hair?
    Usually french braiding takes like 5 minutes, and charging 20 bucks for 5 minutes is a rip off, like 5 or 10$ should be enough. I'd do it for free if you lived near me :P It's no hassle.How much should I pay someone to french braid hair?
    If your mate nothing if your going into a salon theyd probably make you pay 拢5.00!! Id do it for nothing hunn!!
    Did your friend volunteer? If so, then you shouldn't have to pay her at all. Maybe take her to lunch one day as a thank you or if you feel like you have to pay her, leave a thank you note with what you feel like paying.





    I paid $10 to have mine done 10 years ago. So, $20 is probably a good rate especially for 2 braids. However, I taught myself to do it and save the money now.
    about $5 thats enough as french braids dont take long to do
    I would not pay to have it done. It is very easy to learn how to do. I actually taught myself how to french braid my own hair at the age of 12.
    20 sounds like a good price but maybe try to tell her 10.00
    That is ridiculous. Have the friends' friend do it, and bring a gift over as a thank you, or pay her 10 bucks, tops.


    Or, you can go to a website or find a book that can teach you how to do it. They are everywhere, and it is super easy once you learn.

    Sectioning your hair may be what makes the difference for you. If your sections at the ';top of the braid'; (where hair meets your scalp) are neatly planned out before you even start the braid, then the finished result will be better.

Thanx!Where should I go to get my hair braided/cornrowed as a caucasian girl?
    You can usually go anywhere because for awhile cornrows were the thing and even white girls at the salon did them for like updos and styles. Yeah I know that some people can do them and it can make the person cry. You should probably get a list of salons you'll go to and call them and ask them if someone can do cornrows. Its like french braiding but in smaller braids.Where should I go to get my hair braided/cornrowed as a caucasian girl?

    Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

    i was just wondering. once i was braiding my cousins hair at her house and my uncle came in the room, gasped, and told her to take it out IMMEDIATLEY.


    do braids symbolize something to penacostal believers?Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?
    coz it says somewhere in the bible (i think in first timothy...i can't really remember where) that a woman is to dress moderately - not with braided or gold or pearls or costly apparel...so i guess that is where they're getting it from. But I, personally, have never met any pentacostal who has said that!!





    Actually, in the bible, the so-called ';bad'; women used to braid their hair...but it wasn't the kinds of braids that we know of...like one or two long braids...they used to overdo it and wear heaps of braids and put them up around their heads much like a ';wreath'; and then they used to decorate it with flowers and all different decorations...and they were overdressing...etc...but, personally, i don't see anything wrong with just one or two simple braids, and i don't think God would say that's wrong either.





    Does your uncle and his wife wear wedding rings? Just ask him...it says in the bible for a woman not to wear gold...then why does she wear a gold wedding ring? See what he says!





    I don't think it's wrong to wear jewellry or wedding rings or clothes...but it's just when people start to abuse those things...and put on too much and overdo it...then it becomes wrong, because why would a woman do that??? There must be some wrong motive behind it there!Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?
    They consider that a womans hair is a crown of glory and as such should not be ';defiled'; for this to them is going against God's favor.
    No. He was personal like the word talks about modest women not to braid their hair or wear jewels and make up. 1 Timothy 2:9-10. Some penacostals take the word of God or should I say parts of it literally. Yet at times even they are prone to lust. Matthew 5:28.
    I'm Pentecostal,and I have no problem with it. I get my hair cut regularly and even dye it once in a while. I get tired of the same look all the time,so I change it sometimes.
    READ 1 TIMOTHY CH-2 VERSE 9 I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU....
    The women are expected to dress modestly, not with '; broided hair, or gold or pearls,or costly array'; Timothy I 2:9


    I haven't seen any of the grown women pentacostals that I know wear anything but long skirts, either. I do not know how much that varies, it may just be in my area.
    When you say, ';Pentecostal,'; you need to be more specific. It's only the legalistic ones that hold all these beliefs.
    A few of the local Pentecostal girls here do braid their hair. But most don't. Many of them will put it into a bun, though. I think there may be a Biblical injunction against plaiting or otherwise ornamenting the hair. They believe that a woman's hair is her crowning glory before God, and for that reason, many Pentecostal women will not cut their hair. Also, too much personal ornamentation is considered prideful, and is therefore a sin.
    Must be some radical pentacostals! Never heard that before.
    Pentacostals think braiding hair is a sin?


    This is news to me! I live next to one of their churches, and I see them wearing braids, make-up, jewelry, the whole ball of wax. Now, they used to frown upon cutting a woman's hair, but that is no longer considered to be wrong.
    I think it has to do with making the hair so appealing for people to notice. Styling hair can be attraction for men or boys. Not to have hair of seduction, something like that.
    I've been a Pentecostal for over 22 years and I've never heard anything about braiding hair.
    it is preening, which is a prideful act.

    I am in the process of learning how to braid hair. The only problem that I have to being able to attach the hair to the scalp.

How many inches must the hair be to use your technique? Can you offer me any advice? Please help African hair braiding -Attachment?
    If the hair is a shorter length, try twisting it around your finger first and attaching the hair as close to the scalp as possible. I'm not sure how helpful this will be b/c you kinda just have to do it. Can't explain it that well.African hair braiding -Attachment?

    How to braid hair so it looks wavy/curlyish in the morning?

    How big should the braids be?


    And any tips so it actually works? Thanks!How to braid hair so it looks wavy/curlyish in the morning?
    before you braid it, wet your hair and put a curl enhancing mousse/gel. your hair can be slightly damp when you braid it, but not wet. it wont dry in the morning. just separate your your hair into a few different sections and french braid it. french braiding makes it look more natural instead of kinky. also, try not to leave too much hair hanging out of the braid on the bottom. it will leave marks. good luck!How to braid hair so it looks wavy/curlyish in the morning?
    The best is to do two french braids on both sides of your head when wet, with gel or mousse and let dry overnight.

    How can I keep my braided hair smelling nice all the time?

    Is there a way of keeping my braids smelling good without having to wash it everyday?





    Its kinda embarrassing to have smelly hair...





    Is there a method or ointment I could use?How can I keep my braided hair smelling nice all the time?
    Hair smells a bit, braided or not, from sweat and oil on your scalp, and also it the hair picks up smoke (from cigarettes, barbecues etc).





    For the scalp, avoid hairspray (braids don't need it, anyway) as it can clog the pores and make it worse. Take little half balls of cotton wool, spray them with a light citrusy cologne, and rub it in at the base of the braids and between the rows.This will clean and freshen the scalp in a few minutes.





    Only washing will really help the smokey bits, but in an emergency you can rub the braids, a few at a time, with a tissue sprayed with cologne. Tissues break up and make a mess; a piece of kitchen towel would be better. Only rub from the roots towards the ends.How can I keep my braided hair smelling nice all the time?

    Can micro braiding be done on natural hair?

    I have natural hair {never experimented with chemicals} and I'm interested in doing micro braiding..however I'd like the end result to be straight..NOT CURLY. I'd like to know what is the best type of weave to use for this..cuz I've heard that silky weave slips out easily and doesn't look good on natural hair..I don't know :S so plz help...thanksCan micro braiding be done on natural hair?
    yeah it can be don't on natural hair.


    and if you wan the end to be straight, use a STRAIGHTENER.


    i think u should leave it curly cus it will be more manageable and with your au natural hair you will have to straighten it like almost everyday.





    and silky weave dont ';slip'; out easily, but it just doesn't look as good or '; real'; as to if your hair was chemically treated





    -gCan micro braiding be done on natural hair?
    Yes, micro braids can be done on natural hair. I know some stylists that prefer doing micro braids on natural hair because it's alot easier to braid and it will stay much longer plus it's alot healthier on the hair if it isn't processed before getting it braided. Well, I think it depends on the braider because the 1st time I got micros the didn't come out at all and my hair was partially processed but the 2nd time I got micros my hair was partially processed as well and the braids kept falling out. Each time I got the straight silky hair. I know you want the straight hair but another cute look for micros is the wavy look at the ends. That look is easy to maintain and I don't think it will look much different with your natural hair underneath.

    depends on the type of braids you want cornrows about two hours or less something more with detail will take probably 2 1/2 to 3 hours at best. Smaller braids of course take long but again depends on the type of braid you want and the length of your hair.How long does it take to get hair braided?

    3 hours,, and it will hurt really bad
    it all depends on what you want done and how much experience the braider has.

    How much does it cost for hair braids and wheres the best place to get them done?

    You should always go to a salon. Everyone's prices are different, so you'll definitely want a consultation. If you natural hair is long, that's usually assessed an additional fee. You want to make sure the braids are not too tight as to cause damage to the hair follicle.How much does it cost for hair braids and wheres the best place to get them done?
    first of all it depends on where your from every location is different. I think you should clarify your questionHow much does it cost for hair braids and wheres the best place to get them done?
    The cheapest place i can tell you to have it done is to find a beauty collage in your area its a school and they wont charge much
    Prices depend on several things: location, style you want, stylist and much more. I would reccommend that you to a professional, always ask to see their work before they begin. There is a place called African Braids Express in Dallas, they are great, open 24hrs. and they take walk ins.
    if your talking about regular corn rows it can range from 25-100 depending on the length of your hair and the style u want. u should go to a beauty shop that specializes in hair braiding they will do it the best and can work with all kinds of hair types and lengths

  • Does braiding your hair helps it grow? african american women plz help!?

    okay i get perms very six weeks but since its the summer im not getting a perm til late august ( my hair grow a tad bit faster with no perm for a while) Now if i braid my hair with no weave ( natural) liike every 2 weeks or w.e. will it increase the rate of hair growth.....also i have african american hairDoes braiding your hair helps it grow? african american women plz help!?
    No. braids themselves do not cause your hair to grow. Your hair will grow no matter what you do to it as long as you don't damage the hair follicles in your scalp.





    It does help your hair to grow by keeping your hands out of it for a while. Basically when you have braids, you can't brush your hair, relax it it, etc. so it allows your hair to rest in it's natural state.





    Relaxers don't stop hair growth (if they did then my hair wouldn't be down my back nor would my sister's) but they do cause breakage if you leave them on for too long which I see a lot of aa women doing. A relaxer should NOT make your hair stick straight. If you're leaving it in until it's straight instead of just relaxing the curl a bit then you are over processing your hair.





    I do think that you will have some breakage due to not having a relaxer for a while because your hair is going to have two different textures in one strand and the new growth is going to be stronger than the old relaxed ends. It happens to everyone who's had a relaxer and let's it grow out so the best thing to do is to use super hydrating shampoos and conditioners and leave-in conditioners to keep your hair healthy and not dry so it doesn't break as much. But there still will be breakage, ESPECIALLY if the braids are too tight.





    Happy braiding!Does braiding your hair helps it grow? african american women plz help!?
    ok black girl to black girl braids do help because your not messing with your hair and it will show improvements I got my hair braided in weave and left it in for 3 months and left it alone i saw my new growth and i was impressed if black girls left there hair alone and stop puttin

    Braiding will not stimulate hair growth.


    Braiding will not make your hair grow faster.


    Braiding puts stress on your scalp (especially the tighter they are!).


    Brushing does not make your hair grow faster.





    You may think that your hair is growing faster because you notice the braids getting loose and growing out. You may also see little short hairs popping out. This could be one of two things, it could be new-growth or breakage.
    I don't think it will only because hair grows at the same rate almost always now if you like you can take biotin that promotes hair growth. You can buy it at a drug store target walmart. No need to spend a lot a a fancy vitamin shop it's all the same. Another thing hair seems to grow when we tie it back or braid it but this can cause breakage so be gentle with your hair.
    yes it can increase growth(new growth) but remember to give your hair a rest for about two weeks and message it will olive oil, everyday to strentghthen the braids so that it wont cause breakage or loss. make sure you wrap your braids with a silk satin scarf every night. and make sure you clean them with a cotton swab by putting some warm water and cleansing the scalp.(and only leave them in for about 2 weeks) -or it might cause hair damage.
    I suggest you braid it with weave. Braiding it with your natural hair every 2 weeks, well it depens on what kind of hair you have. if you have regular african american hair (after a perm) than you should braid it with weave. I'm in pretty much the same situation as you and I've braided my hair with weave and I have so much new growth.
    Yes the braids will help it grow because you won't be adding any stress to your hair. I'm in the process of doing this to my daughter's hair and I've been braiding it since April and it has grown at least 3-5 inches and she has badddddd hair
    It will, you'll start to notice the new growth after a while and you just smooth it down with product..I think the braids stimulate your scalp.
    It grows faster because its not having any chemicals or heat put on it so its healthier. Yes keep your scalp moisturized. I use B %26amp; B Super Gro to speed hair growth along.
    I have never had a perm, but i do know that braiding with extensions does break off the hair, because it is a different hair texture, but if you absolutely must have longer hair then be sure to moisturize..... With GREASE!!!! LOL!!! Oh and try using the hair they use for kinky twist. It won't break it off, but it does dry out your hair without anything to keep it oiled. And finally the extensions do grow faster but what good is it if the hair at the bottom is gone?!!!
    yes its true. if u do braid ur hair and leave it like that for 1 week and 3 days its will grow 1-5 inches. thats wat happend to mine. and no i dont have nappy hair; very soft. i would do any kind of braids big or tiny doesnt matter! :)
    I'm not sure if braiding helps, but I know that brushing makes it grow! I brush my hair twice as much as I used to and it grows over a foot each year!

    I've never considered a ponytail professional, as for the braid it depends on the type.

    I'm black would braiding my hair make it grow faster?

    barbie - your hair doesn't need to ';breathe'; to grow. by the time you actually see it, it's dead. all the growing happens inside your skin.





    having said that, braiding WILL help it grow a little bit faster. pulling on the hair helps it grow, as does massaging your scalp - both things are incorporated when you get braids. don't pull too tight, you don't want to hurt yourself ... but gentle pulling of the hair and massaging of the scalp will, over time, make hair grow faster.I'm black would braiding my hair make it grow faster?
    Well, I know what you mean. Personally, I'm trying the braided thing because my hair-lady says that it'll make it grow and it has, but not a lot. Try moisturizing it and wearing it natural or stick with braids. But my guess is that your hair isn't being combed or tampered with when it's in braids, so it has more time to grow naturally. You should also stay away from the chemicals and try natural shampoos and conditioners.I'm black would braiding my hair make it grow faster?
    what does being black have anything to do w/ hair growth?????? i seriously doubt braiding your hair would make it grow any faster
    Yeah, it would make it grow faster. Since you won't be adding heat to your hair, that would make it stronger and grow faster. Heat damages your hair.
    Braiding only chokes the hair. If you do want your hair to grow, what i could suggest is you massage coconut oil on your head just before you sleep and make sure you wear a shower cap before you sleep. the next morning you canwash your hair. Do this atleast once a week. It should help
    nope if anything it will make it grow slower, because your hair wont be able to breathe loosely.
    i had braids my hair grew a lil bit...if i said alot i will be over exaggerating.....but its gives your hair a rest from relaxers for awhile
