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.
