*Ok so I have had the Micros for about a week now. I lost this post and it took some time to find it. My edges are a little rough now because I did not braid them tight. I didn’t even try to catch them in the braid. My goal for 2012 is to grow out some healthy edges*
First, I have to thank all the YouTubers! Without their help, I would have never been able to put these darn things in!
My micro braids are completed. I am very happy with the results. My hubby is happy with the results, too. And the compliments can keep coming!!! Toot! Toot! *my horn* I am really proud of myself!
Products Used:
FreeTress Braid Bulk Brook Curl 1b/33
Queene Helene Royal Curl Shampoo and Conditioner (added in honey, EVOO and coconut oil for a deep conditioner)
SofteeCare Shea Butter Cream (a little mineral oil; it was the 15th ingredient down but WATER and Shea were first!!)
Kimmaytube Leave – In Conditioner
Rubber bands soaked in EVOO
Rat Tail Comb
Clips (to keep hair out the way)
Time and Patience – it took 3 days to complete. No, I was not braiding constantly. I have a life, LOL!
Here are a few of the YouTube videos that helped also:
** The slip knots were the hardest to grasp. Do not use nail glue it could damage your hair*
The key to doing micro braids is to find your own style. There are so many variations of the technique. I did what came naturally to me. I made sure my braids were neat and took my time.
