Protecting You Natural Hair's Edges In Braids

This is one of those posts that's going to be short to the point and have only one point in it:

When you braid your hair, the best thing you can do for your edges is to cornrow or flat twist them. 

I first went natural because my hair was looking raggedy and getting thinner and the edges were the bits that needed the most TLC. 

Two years later, I am less psycho about not exposing my ends and I am not so dogmatic about the dos and donts of my hair but three things have remained constant:

1. I braid my hair a lot less often. I used to always be in braids before going natural.
2. I don't do micros because they break hair like woow, especially the edges
3. I usually corn row the edges so that they have no weight on them at all.

These are the best tips I can give.

What to do if the hair around your edges gets damaged?

In some cases, it will never grow back but you can ensure it does not get worse by referring to these 6 Easy solutions for hair that's breaking or thinning around the edges!
