Braid help needed ASAP! PLEASE!

[shadylane21]

Hey ladies I just took down my 2 strand twist that I put in a month ago and I deep conditioned over night, now here is my question? How long do I have to wait before putting the braids back in? I really want to do them today, because I am trying to stretch 6 months! I want to make sure I will not damage my hair by doing so. Please let me know what you would do. Thanks ladies!

I've been fine putting mine in right away but some people say to wait 2 weeks

I usually braid back to back with no problems at all. But I've got pretty hearty hair

Hmm, I used to do my kids hair back to back, but now I am going to wait at least two weeks. One of my daughters has not had a problem with back to back. But one has hair that seems to be weaker.

I have worn braids for two years straight redoing each braid as needed and then changing the hair after one year w/o any breaks. No problem there.

As long as you don't see any bad things going on with your hair then it's fine to braid back to back.

go for it.

I'd say, as long as the braids are not excessively tight and the hair is well conditioned, why not?

 

[Creatividual]

I agree with everyone else. In the past I've braided back to back with no problems. As lon as you're not experiencing any negative results, why not?
